Why check a used vehicle here

Free MOT history laid out for a buying decision: mileage, failures, advisories and warning signs from official DVSA records.

GOV.UK already publishes MOT history. myMOTreport uses that same official DVSA data, then presents it for one job: helping you decide whether a used vehicle is worth viewing. The standard report is free. You only pay if you want the optional analysis on top.

Built for the buying decision

Most people do not open MOT history for fun. They have a plate from an advert and a few minutes before they travel. The report leads with pass or fail, time left on the current MOT, then the counts, latest issues and recorded mileage. That is the order a buyer actually needs.

Free, with no account

Enter a UK registration and run the standard report. You get official tests, dates, mileage, advisories and defects. No sign-in, no credit, no subscription. An account is only needed if you want to save history or unlock advanced analysis.

Mileage, failures and advisories in one place

You can see whether miles move forwards between tests, which tests failed, and what testers wrote down. Recurring advisories, a mileage drop, or a fail just before the listing are easier to notice when they sit together instead of being buried in a long government page.

Read the guides on checking for clocking and what advisories and major defects mean if you want the detail before you look up a plate.

Optional extras if you want more

One credit unlocks automated analysis on the same official record: a vehicle score, record checks, interactive charts, a downloadable PDF, and side-by-side comparison of vehicles you have already unlocked. That is useful when you are choosing between two listings. It is not required for a basic check.

What this is not

  • It is not GOV.UK, DVSA or DVLA, and it is not an official government website.
  • It does not inspect the vehicle, and it does not tell you to buy or walk away.
  • Scores and charts are summaries of MOT history, not a substitute for seeing the vehicle.

Use the official GOV.UK MOT history page if you only want the government record. Use myMOTreport if you want that history arranged for a used-vehicle check, with the option to go deeper.
