Accessibility at MOTCheck

MOTCheck is an independent website. It is not DVSA, DVLA or GOV.UK. We aim to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA on the public pages: the MOT check, make guides, and the garage directory.

This statement was written on 15 November 2026. It describes the controls on this site. It is not a certificate.

Controls on every page

A skip link is the first item on the page. It moves keyboard focus to the main content.

Text size can be made smaller or larger, or reset. The choice is saved in this browser.

High contrast uses black text on a white background and underlines links.

Dyslexia-friendly text switches to Verdana, with wider letter and word spacing and a looser line height. It does not download an extra font.

If your device asks for reduced motion, animations and smooth scrolling are turned off.

MOT results

Pass, fail and MOT status are written in words and shown with an icon. Colour is not the only signal.

Lookup results are announced with an aria-live region, including when a registration cannot be found or the DVSA service does not respond.

The registration box has a visible label. You can submit it from the keyboard.

What we do not claim

The yellow registration plate is a picture of a UK plate: black text on yellow. The label beside it is ordinary text.

Map links open Google Maps, which is a separate site. The published station list has no coordinates and no opening hours, so garage pages do not invent either.

We have not audited every historical URL. Unknown addresses return a 404 page with noindex.
