How can I check if my vehicle's MOT is valid?

Enter your vehicle registration number in the search box on the homepage. The system will display the current MOT status, including the expiry date. If your MOT has expired, you should not drive the vehicle except to a pre-booked MOT test appointment.

What's the difference between free checks and premium reports?

Free checks provide current MOT status, expiry date, basic vehicle details, complete MOT test history with pass/fail results, and recorded mileage. Premium reports add pattern analysis, mileage fraud detection, technical service bulletin matching, system-by-system risk assessment, and repair time estimates.

How does your mileage verification work?

Our mileage analysis examines every odometer reading recorded during MOT tests throughout the vehicle's history. The system identifies potential concerns including mileage decreases between tests, unusually low annual mileage, and suspicious readings.

How up-to-date is the information?

Our data is updated every 24 hours directly from DVSA and DVLA databases. MOT test results typically appear in our system within 4-6 hours of completion. Tax information updates within 5 working days of DVLA changes.

Is this service officially endorsed by DVSA/DVLA?

While we are not directly operated by DVSA/DVLA, our service uses official government data through approved channels. We have direct integration with DVSA and DVLA databases, and our data is the same authoritative information used by government agencies.
