The UK Car MOT History Check service allows you to obtain detailed and up-to-date information in real-time on the status of the periodic MOT inspections of any vehicle in the United Kingdom. Based on the vehicle registration number, the service provides useful data to verify compliance with safety regulations, roadworthiness, and inspection history.

- Test Date
- Expiry Date
- Result
- Test ID
- In case of test failure: reasons for failure and recommendations
- Vehicle information such as Brand, Registration Date, Emissions, and Engine Capacity
You will be able to access not only the most recent inspection but also the entire history of inspections.
