MOT test history request for your car

[Dal]

http://www.motinfo.gov.uk/internet/jsp/ECHID-Internet-History-Request.jsp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Use this form to request an MOT Test history for a vehicle. The history will show you details about each of the tests for the vehicle recorded on MOT Computerisation. This includes the result (pass or fail) and the vehicle's recorded mileage at the time of the test. If the vehicle failed a test, the history will include the reasons why it failed.

You must supply the vehicle's registration mark and either:

The MOT test number from the VT20 MOT Test Certificate

or VT30 Refusal of an MOT certificate (failure notice)

or the Document Reference Number from the V5C Registration Certificateissued by the DVLA.

It can give you some history (since the computerisation of MOTs - not the hand written ones) to your cars past MOTs if you don't have any actual history. If you have just purchased it for instance.

Yeah this is quite useful, my car had an MOT just before I bought it which it failed on, and I don't have the failure notice so it was nice to actually find out.

And no advisory on your last test Dal? Very good
I got one for a big-bore exhaust... :roll:

 

[Anonymous]

Black got no advisorys at all on her last MOT...she sailed through marvellously!! :-D

Quite a useful linky indeed though

 

[Neil]

I got an advisory for front tyre wear on the insides.

No matter, I'm gonna invest in some Toyos when I get back for Nurburg and get rid of the budget crap on there at the minute.

I've just run this on my 2000 Puma and the first recorded test is 2006 (same month as original registration). Is this because electronic records only started this year (the change from the old style certificate) or does my Puma have 3 years missing?!!!

 

[badger_]

I'm sure when I put mine in (52reg) it only had history from 2006 too, so the 1st test in 2005 was missing. So I guessed that the test went electronic in 2006?

My 106 has got every MOT cert so I could check when the format changed?

 

[MsCozmik]

Yeah, if you could Natalie that would be helpful. The only other thing I thought was it was off road for 3 years or driven without an MOT :shock: but it didn't add up because all the months are consistent.

Thanks, Jane

Hi Jane, the first computerised one was issued for it in 2005.

Just looking on there and on my last test I got an advisory for one of my tyres yet was never given a advisory note :evil:

Rear box Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (7.1.2a)
Guessing my Kat as a new exhaust system as I couldn't see any signs of wielding, when I had a quick look a few weeks back

I found this very useful as it helped me find out my last car had had 80k miles taken off it!

 

[slayllian]

thanks for that, I checked mine out the other night, seems I have some corroded rear brake lines that keep flagging up! k:

You do still get a piece of paper though to say it has passed, even if it looks like you have just printed it at home lol

It also saves VOSA a shed load of money on paper

When I was looking round at Pumas, I used this service to check the MOT history of one I looked at. The MOT certificate said an advisory sheet was issued, but the owner 'didn't have it'.
He let me write down the reference number from the V5.

When I looked at the Pumas history, there was a list of advisories as long as my arm!

I can safely say I didn't go back for a second look!!
