MotRadar is a free UK MOT checker. Enter a vehicle registration to see its current MOT status, expiry date, full MOT test history, failures, advisories and mileage trend - all based on official DVSA data. It highlights dangerous and major defects, recurring issues and mileage anomalies, helping used-car buyers, owners and sellers check a vehicle in seconds. No sign-up required.
What you get from a single registration lookup:
- Current MOT status and expiry date, so you know immediately whether the vehicle is road legal and when the next test is due.
- The complete MOT test history, with every pass and fail result recorded by the DVSA.
- Defect detail for each test, separated into dangerous, major and minor categories, plus every advisory note the tester recorded.
- Mileage trend across the test history, which makes mileage anomalies and possible clocking easy to spot.
- Recurring issue detection, highlighting faults that keep coming back test after test.
- Data freshness and caching information, so you can see how current the underlying DVSA record is.
Who it is for: UK used-car buyers checking a vehicle before they commit, owners tracking the condition and test schedule of their own car, sellers who want to show a clean history, and anyone doing a quick self-check before booking a repair or a retest.
Scope: MotRadar is built on DVSA MOT data only. It does not provide vehicle valuations, insurance quotes, road tax lookups, finance checks, stolen-vehicle checks, or legal and purchasing advice.
