How it works
- Step 1
Enter the number plate
Use the registration shown on the vehicle.
- Step 2
Review the MOT timeline
Scan recent results first, then open older tests if needed.
- Step 3
Read advisories carefully
Advisories are not fails, but repeated issues can still matter when buying.
Why MOT history matters when buying
An MOT certificate only confirms the car met the minimum standard on the day of the test. The history behind it often tells a clearer story: repeated advisories, recent failures, or sudden mileage changes.
Use the MOT checker before viewing a car, then cross-check what you see on the day - tyres, brakes, warning lights and service paperwork.
For defect categories, read our guide: MOT advisories explained.
