What Your Free MOT Check Includes
Full MOT history data sourced directly from the DVSA — the same information an MOT station sees before a test.
Full MOT Test History
Every MOT test from 2005 onwards — pass/fail results, test dates, and certificate numbers. See the complete record of every examiner's findings.
Mileage at Every Test
Odometer readings recorded at each MOT test. Spot suspicious drops or inconsistencies that could indicate clocking — one of the most common forms of used car fraud.
Advisory & Failure Items
Every advisory notice and failure item listed by severity — minor, major, and dangerous. Know exactly what was wrong and whether it was fixed.
Current MOT Status
See instantly whether the vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate and when it expires. Driving without a valid MOT is illegal and invalidates most insurance policies.
Pass Rate Over Time
See how often this vehicle passes its MOT at first attempt. A low pass rate or repeated failures on the same components signals persistent neglect.
Defects by Component
Failures and advisories organised by vehicle component — brakes, suspension, tyres, lights, emissions. Quickly identify recurring problem areas.
Why Check MOT History Before Buying?
A free MOT check takes seconds and could save you thousands on a bad used car purchase.
Spot Mileage Fraud
Clocked cars are widespread in the UK used car market. MOT records hold mileage readings going back years — a clocked car cannot hide the evidence.
Uncover Hidden Defects
Sellers don't always disclose past failures. MOT history shows every item a tester flagged, giving you ammunition to negotiate or walk away.
Verify the MOT is Valid
Some cars are sold with fake or expired MOT certificates. Our check confirms the real status directly from the DVSA database in seconds.
