MOT & History Engine
MOT history check
A vehicle's full MOT record in one place: whether its MOT is current, whether the mileage adds up from one test to the next, and which faults keep coming back.
This is a sample vehicle, not a real one. Lookups by registration will be switched on once access to DVSA's MOT history data is approved.

Readings are shown as they were recorded at each test. A lower reading can be a typing slip at the garage or a replaced instrument cluster, so it is a reason to ask, not proof of anything.
