How the MOT check works

MotRadar normalises the registration number, queries the official DVSA MOT History API on the server, then shows a readable report. DVSA credentials never run in the browser.

What the health summary means

The summary highlights facts that can be traced back to MOT records: pass/fail counts, repeated exact defects and recorded mileage changes. It is not a mechanical inspection or buying advice.

FAQ

Do I need an account?

No. The MVP query flow works anonymously.

Why might a vehicle not be found?

Check the registration format. New registrations or recent updates may not appear immediately in source data.

Is MotRadar a government website?

No. MotRadar is independent and displays public sector information from DVSA under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
