Used car check using MOT history

UK Car Check helps buyers quickly understand MOT history risks before travelling to view a used car.

What this used car check covers

This check focuses on MOT history. It looks at previous MOT results, advisories, failures, mileage readings and recurring wording that may indicate ongoing issues.

What it does not cover

  • Outstanding finance
  • Stolen vehicle status
  • Insurance write-off category
  • Full valuation
  • Mechanical inspection
  • Ownership or seller identity verification

How to use it

Run the check before messaging the seller or booking a viewing. If the preview shows warning signs, unlock the full report and use the seller questions and viewing checklist.

Buyer tip

If a seller says the car has always been looked after, compare that claim against repeated advisories and previous failures. MOT history can give you better questions to ask.
