Service agreement
Terms of Service
These terms explain how you may use MotRadar, what the service does and where its limits are.
Service scope
MotRadar provides a free MOT history checker for UK vehicles. It uses DVSA MOT History API data to show MOT status, test history, advisories, defects, recorded mileage and explainable summaries.
Acceptable use
You may use MotRadar for ordinary individual lookups. You must not use the service for automated scraping, bulk enumeration, resale of data, abuse of DVSA infrastructure or attempts to bypass rate limits.
Third-party data
MotRadar depends on public sector information from DVSA. Upstream data may be delayed, unavailable or corrected after a lookup. We do not control DVSA systems.
Important limits
MotRadar is not a mechanical inspection, vehicle valuation, insurance check, tax check, legal advice, buying advice or guarantee that a vehicle will pass a future MOT.
Availability
We aim to keep the service available, but MOT lookups can fail because of maintenance, rate limits, upstream outages or configuration issues. We may change or withdraw the MVP service as it evolves.
