Every MOT, checked for the warning signs.
We pull the car’s full MOT history and look for the things that are easy to miss when you scroll through it yourself.
What you get
- A mileage chart
Mileage at every MOT on one chart. A drop shows in red, which can mean a clocked car.
- Gaps and repeat faults
Long periods with no MOT, and problems that come up test after test without being fixed.
- Every test in plain English
Each pass and fail with what the tester found, and what Advisory, Minor, Major and Dangerous mean.
How to use it
- Look at the chart first
The line should only go up. Any dip needs explaining.
- Check the latest advisories
They’re the jobs most likely to be due next.
- Ask about anything flagged
We add each one to the message for the seller.
Where it comes from: The DVSA’s MOT history, fetched at the moment you check, so it’s always up to date.
Here’s how it looks
About 7,379 miles a year. Red marks a failed test or a drop in mileage.
- Mileage went down between MOTs
84,600 miles on 2 Apr 2023, then 81,950 on 27 Mar 2024. This can mean a clocked car or a recording mistake.
- No MOT for 25 months
Nothing between 16 Mar 2021 and 2 Apr 2023. The car may have been off the road, or driven without an MOT.
- Oil and fluid leaks noted at 4 MOTs
When the same issue keeps coming back, it usually hasn’t been fixed.
