A note about vehicle history

MOT history is a useful part of researching a used vehicle, but it is not a guarantee of its current condition, service history, ownership, finance status or accident history. Mileage records and test results should always be considered alongside a proper inspection and other checks before buying.

This checker uses information supplied by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA). The information available depends on the vehicle and the records held by the DVSA.


When you enter a registration number, it is used to request the available MOT history from the DVSA. This checker does not request or display registered keeper details. Registration information is not sold or used for marketing. Basic technical information, such as an IP address, may be processed to help prevent misuse of the service.
