Why MOT history matters
The MOT history of a vehicle is one of the most valuable free resources available to a used-car buyer. It reveals how a car has been maintained, whether recurring problems have been ignored, and whether the recorded mileage progresses sensibly over time.
How to check it
Simply enter the registration on our free MOT history check. We pull every recorded test straight from the DVSA — pass or fail, advisories, defects and the mileage at each test.
