MOT Checker

Our free MOT checker UK gives every driver instant access to official DVLA data — the same database used by the government. Enter any registration number and within seconds you can see whether the vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate, exactly when it expires, and the complete record of every test it has ever undergone. No account, no payment, no delays.

The MOT test is required by law for all cars over three years old and must be renewed every twelve months. Missing your MOT is an offence carrying fines of up to £1,000 — and it typically invalidates your car insurance, leaving you financially exposed too.

All data is sourced in real time from the official DVLA APIs. We do not cache vehicle results, alter figures, or add interpretation — what you see is exactly what the government holds on record for that vehicle.

For anyone buying a used car, an MOT history check is one of the most important steps before committing to a purchase. Unlike a service history, MOT records are held independently by the DVLA and cannot be altered. Each entry logs the test result, the exact mileage, and every advisory or failure recorded — making it easy to spot mileage clocking or recurring faults.

Beyond the basic status check, our tool includes an MOT Health Score (0–100), defect analysis by category, a mileage credibility graph across all recorded tests, and a full buyer's verdict report downloadable as PDF. We also pull live road tax status from the DVLA — one check confirms full road-legality.
