MOT history check

Enter any UK registration to see its full MOT history, with every pass and fail, the mileage at each test, and every advisory and failure reason, live from the DVSA. It's a working demo of the DVSA MOT History API integration I build for dealers and fleets.

What this shows

Results come straight from the DVSA MOT History API, the same data behind the government's own MOT history service. Cars under three years old won't have a test yet, but the date their first MOT is due is shown where the DVSA has it. For tax status and the current DVLA record, try the vehicle status checker.

Using this in your own system

Dealers show the full history on every listing, part-exchange tools check stated mileage against the record, and fleets get warned before an MOT runs out. The API is free, so lookups cost nothing once it's built. See DVSA MOT API integration, what the MOT API returns and what it costs to build.
