MOT History Check
MOT history returned when held by DVSA. Free.
Enter any UK registration to query the official DVSA MOT History register. When DVSA holds records for the vehicle, we show each test result, advisories, failure reasons and the mileage logged at each test. No inference of a clean record should be drawn where no history is held.
When DVSA holds records for the vehicle, we show each test result and the reasons recorded by the testing station.
Recorded mileage at each MOT held by DVSA plotted chronologically — any obvious clocking or rollback is visible.
Items the tester flagged as wearing or marginal — an early sign of potential trouble.
Why check the MOT history before you buy?
A car's MOT record is the most honest paper trail it has. Stations have no incentive to flatter the owner, so the advisories, failures and mileage points are typically the first place a forensic inspection starts.

Sourced from DVSA
MOT records come from the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA). Successful official lookups use short-lived secure cache storage for a few minutes to reduce duplicate API requests to the official register; every response is timestamped when shown. Lookup data is not sold to third parties.
