Check any UK-registered car, van or motorcycle's MOT using official DVSA test records. Give it a registration and you get whether the vehicle has a valid MOT and when it expires, when a newer vehicle's first MOT is due, and the result, mileage, advisories and defects from its latest test — plus the full MOT history going back through every recorded test.
The history check flags whether recorded mileage ever went down between tests, a common sign of clocking or a recording error, which is worth knowing before buying a used car. Advisories and failures come back in plain language rather than DVSA shorthand.
Data comes from the DVSA MOT History API, the official UK government record of MOT tests, with tax and MOT status from the DVLA. Every answer links to the vehicle's full record on motcheck.io.
No account or sign-in is needed. MOT records contain no personal information about a vehicle's keeper. UK-registered vehicles only (Great Britain and Northern Ireland).
