Why Use the MOT Advisory Checker?

Most MOT history tools show you pass or fail results and little else. This checker goes further — it displays every advisory notice recorded against a vehicle, giving you the full picture of its mechanical condition over time. Advisory notices highlight components that are starting to deteriorate but haven't yet reached the MOT failure threshold.

Complete MOT Advisory History

Advisory notices are the hidden story of a vehicle's health. A car that passes its MOT with six advisories tells a very different story to one that passes clean. Whether you're buying a used car, selling a vehicle, or keeping on top of your own car's maintenance, the full advisory trail gives you information that a simple pass/fail result cannot.

Mileage Tracking Across Every Test

Every MOT test records an odometer reading. This checker displays those readings as a visual mileage history, making it easy to spot the annual mileage pattern and identify any inconsistencies. A sudden jump or drop in recorded mileage between tests can be a red flag for buyers and dealers alike.

MOT Expiry Countdown

See exactly when a vehicle's MOT expires, with a clear countdown showing months, weeks and days remaining. The status indicator changes from green to amber when the MOT is due within 30 days, and red once expired — so you never miss a renewal.

Detailed Defect Classification

Defects are shown with their full DVSA classification — dangerous, major, minor, and advisory — each colour-coded for quick scanning. Expand any test to see the complete list of issues recorded, including the exact wording from the examiner's report.

Official DVSA Data

All information comes directly from the DVSA MOT History API, the official UK government source for MOT records. This includes test results for cars, motorcycles, vans, HGVs, buses and coaches registered in Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
