3 What this car’s MOT record points to

Read from the last two years of this car's own test record, grouped by area. Each line quotes what the tester wrote and the date of the test.

No recent issue

Brakes, Suspension & steering, Tyres, Exhaust & emissions, Lamps & visibility, Structure & corrosion, Engine – oil, Other

Nothing recorded against these in the last two years of tests.

Brakes: last recorded 7 Dec 2023 (major item), outside the two-year window. Tyres: last recorded 30 Nov 2022 (advisory), outside the two-year window. Lamps & visibility: last recorded 30 Nov 2022 (minor item), outside the two-year window. Structure & corrosion: last recorded 29 Dec 2020 (item fixed during the test), outside the two-year window.

You now know what the MOT record says. What about its financial past?

The free record cannot show outstanding finance, insurance write-off history or a theft marker. The Full provenance report — no Data Guarantee does, with Experian data, for £5.99.

You will review your order before paying, and you will be asked to sign in first. Data provided by Experian.

MOT data sourced from DVSA, used under the Open Government Licence v3.0. DVSA bulk record as of 27 Sep 2026. DVLA-only fields (tax status, tax due, annual road tax, ULEZ/CO2/Euro status, export marker, wheel plan, type approval, V5C date, recalls) are not loaded until someone presses "Check latest from DVLA & DVSA". Sections 3 and 4 are SortedCars’ arithmetic on the same public record and on DVSA test statistics; they describe the record, not the car’s condition, and are not advice about buying it. Always have a used car inspected before you buy. Check the official record at GOV.UK: check MOT history.

About this page

This is the public record for one vehicle, drawn from two free government sources: DVLA (loaded when someone presses "Check latest from DVLA & DVSA") for the registration — make, year, colour, fuel, emissions, tax and MOT status — and DVSA for every MOT result and mileage reading since 2005. Nothing here costs anything, and nothing here identifies the keeper.

What it cannot tell you is the commercial history: outstanding finance, insurance write-offs and stolen markers. Those come from Experian and are not public. They are the difference between a car you can drive and a car you can lose — see SortedCars Reports, or read the longer guide on the free car check.

The DVLA and DVSA data on this page contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. SortedCars is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the DVLA or DVSA.

This page shows vehicle information only — no keeper details and no vehicle identification number. Built on 6 October 2026 from the DVSA bulk MOT record as of 27 September 2026; DVLA fields load when someone presses "Check latest from DVLA & DVSA".
