Car MOT check before you buy
A car MOT check is a quick way to see repeated failures, advisories such as corrosion or worn brakes, and mileage that goes backwards between tests. Read it before you agree a price. A pass on its own is not a verdict on the engine, the gearbox or any finance agreement.
Frequently asked questions
What does an MOT check show?
Enter a registration to see the MOT history held for that vehicle: pass and fail results, the mileage recorded at each test, advisories and defects, and the MOT expiry date when one is on file.
Where does the MOT history come from?
MOTCheck uses DVSA MOT data. It is not a government service and it is not affiliated with the DVSA or DVLA. Read the report for the car in front of you, and check anything that matters for a purchase before you rely on it.
Do I need an account?
No. You can run a check without signing up, and there is no charge to view the MOT history report on this site.
Does a valid MOT mean the vehicle is a good buy?
No. A pass means the vehicle met the test standard on that day. It is not a service history and it does not show engine wear, finance or accident records. Read repeated advisories and compare the mileage from test to test before you buy.
