The MOT history service is unavailable right now. Please try again later. You can still use the official MOT history check.

Check a UK vehicle's MOT history

Enter a registration to see the MOT tests DVSA holds for that vehicle: dates, pass or fail, mileage, expiry date, advisories and failure items.

What this check shows

• The date of each test and whether it passed or failed
• The mileage recorded at the test, where the odometer was read
• The expiry date on a passed test
• Advisory, minor, major and dangerous items when the record includes them
• A first MOT due date for some vehicles that have not been tested yet

Before you rely on it

This site is independent. It is not a government service. The record is the one the DVSA MOT History API returns, and a test finished a few minutes ago may not be in it yet. Northern Ireland tests often come back without the advisory text. Nothing here is an MOT certificate.

If you are about to drive, buy, or tax a vehicle, confirm it on the official MOT history check.
