To check a vehicle’s MOT history, simply enter the registration number and our car reg finder will pull up the correct car. You will see test dates, results, advisories, and recorded mileages in a clear timeline. If you want the official record, you can confirm the result on the GOV.UK MOT service.

A quick report can help you identify risks before money changes hands. When you search a car registration number, you can see write-off history, finance markers, mileage issues, and MOT results, which may influence your offer or choice. A check also confirms the car's specifications and emissions, ensuring that it meets your needs and budget.

To rule out a typing error, start by performing a new car reg look up. Compare the report to your V5C and the car's details, then save photos of the VIN and number plates. If the mismatch persists, speak with the seller and contact the DVLA to investigate before proceeding.

Data is drawn from trusted records like DVLA, police, insurance databases, and MOT entries, so it is reliable for most cases. Small delays or clerical errors can occur, which is why you should find the car reg details and compare them with the logbook and a physical check. Use the report as strong guidance, then verify important points.
