We cross-reference mileage at each MOT test to flag potential clocking.

The MOT history of a vehicle is one of the most revealing documents a buyer can review. Unlike a seller's verbal description, MOT records are independently recorded by certified garages and submitted directly to the DVSA — they can't be altered or deleted.
A vehicle with repeated advisories for the same item, or one that frequently fails on brakes and tyres, tells a very different story to its claimed "excellent condition." Equally, a sudden mileage drop between tests is a strong indicator of clocking — one of the most common forms of used car fraud in the UK.
Our free MOT check gives you instant access to this data before you invest time or money in viewing a vehicle.

Our Full History Report adds outstanding finance checks, stolen records, write-off history and keeper changes — from just £5.97.
See Full Report →The vehicle met the minimum roadworthiness standard at the time of test. Any "advisory" items noted should still be investigated — they indicate parts approaching the failure threshold.
The vehicle had one or more "major" or "dangerous" defects. A fail is not necessarily a dealbreaker — but repeated failures on the same item (e.g. brakes, tyres, steering) suggest systematic neglect.
Every MOT records the odometer reading. We compare each reading against the previous test to flag suspicious drops or unusually large jumps — a common sign of clocking.
Advisories are components that are worn but not yet at failure level. A car with 12 advisories across its history has consistently been driven to the MOT with marginal components — a maintenance red flag.
All vehicles over 3 years old must have a valid MOT to be driven on UK public roads (except on the way to a pre-booked MOT test).
Up to £1,000 fine. Your vehicle will also be uninsured without a valid MOT, exposing you to much greater liability.
Category S (structural damage) and Category N (non-structural damage) are write-off categories. Both are recorded on the MOT database and revealed in our Full Report.
Yes — advisories are not failures. But a vehicle with many unresolved advisories from previous tests may need expensive work imminently.
The MOT record shows every test since 2005, including the mileage at each test. Keeper count history is shown on our Full Report.
An MOT certificate is valid for 12 months. You can renew up to one month (minus a day) before the expiry date — the new certificate runs from the original expiry date.
