Frequently asked questions
Is this an official DVSA check?
Yes — this tool uses the official DVSA MOT History API directly, so the data comes straight from the same source as the government's own MOT history checker.
Is the MOT history check free?
Yes, completely free, with no signup required.
What can I see in the history?
Every MOT test on record: pass or fail result, test date and expiry, the mileage recorded at each test, and every defect or advisory noted, with its severity.
Why does a car have no MOT history?
Vehicles under 3 years old are exempt from MOT testing, so a new car will show no history yet. Some older or unusual vehicles may also have incomplete records.
What's the difference between this and the Full Vehicle Report?
This free tool shows the complete MOT test timeline. The paid Full Vehicle Report additionally checks finance, theft, write-off and mileage-anomaly markers, plus a valuation and full specification.
