Why MOT history matters when buying used
- •Recurring advisories for the same item across years usually mean the seller has ignored a creeping problem. Price the fix in.
- •Mileage that doesn't progress smoothly — or appears to drop — is a hallmark of clocking. Walk away.
- •A long gap between tests can signal the car has been sat unused or declared SORN. Ask why.
- •A failure followed by a same-day pass at a different garage can signal a quick patch-up. Worth checking what was done.
Frequently Asked Questions
An MOT history check shows every MOT test ever recorded for a vehicle — when it was tested, whether it passed or failed, what advisories or defects the tester noted, and the mileage at each test. The data comes directly from the DVSA database.
MOT history is the single best free signal of how a car has been looked after. Repeated advisories about the same item, mileage that doesn't progress smoothly, or a long gap between tests are all red flags worth pricing in or walking away from.
Yes. We pull MOT history directly from the official DVSA API. There's no charge, no account, no email — just enter the registration above.
DVSA records typically go back to 2005, when digital MOT testing began. Some older vehicles may have shorter histories.
An advisory is something the tester noticed but isn't yet bad enough to fail the test — keep an eye on it. A minor defect doesn't fail the MOT either but should be repaired soon. A major or dangerous defect fails the test.
