01Identify the vehicle
Enter the current UK registration and confirm that the returned details match the car. A different model description or missing information is something to investigate before relying on a report.
No account is required for the free MOT lookup. Vehicle information and returned detail depend on the underlying records.
02Read the free MOT timeline
Review available tests, outcomes, defects, advisories and recorded mileage. Our report keeps the original notes visible and can highlight identical notes repeated across tests.
Read historical observations as questions for the seller or workshop. They are not a diagnosis of the car today.
03Bring in the maintenance evidence
Compare the MOT readings with the service book, digital records and invoices you hold. A service describes recorded maintenance; an MOT pass does not replace it.
Manufacturer-history and factory-specification reports are planned paid upgrades. They are not yet available to order.
04Keep the file for next time
Sign in to My Garage to save the vehicle, add service entries and upload supporting documents. You can print the free report using your browser’s Print / save PDF option.
Owner-added information remains separate from manufacturer evidence. Saved reminder preferences use recorded dates and mileage; email delivery is not active yet.
