Thanks for that, quite interesting.

 

[StuartW]

Thank you, that is indeed very useful

It doesn't work very well if you have a cherished number that's been transferred between the same make of car. I did a search on our Alfa and it brought up both the current and previous Alfa that had the same number.

My car failed its MOT 3 times for incorrectly spaced number plates! You'd think the previous owner would have learned.

Nice one Project 4200 passed every time with her last one at 90,000 miles expiring June this year and after the floor repairs done here passed again now with 93,000 miles on her.

FFS - Mine passed every time but who the &%$£ MOT's a Maserati in January - Rabbit away somewhere as it was registered in a September which means it was laid up somewhere for 4 months until MOT time.
Got til 12th Jan to re-mot it!!!

It's useful to know about the advisories if you're looking for a car , one qp I checked had a fail 2 years running for a passenger door that wouldn't open and a few have been sent for mot with bald tyres

Who takes a car for mot without checking the basics, lights,tyres,wiper blades and squirters

I checked my old 156 2.5 v6 which I had for 13 years; very depressing reading when you read the number of fails and advisories. In fairness I used to drop it in unprepared / pre service to get a shopping list of work needed in addition to the service but it wasn't the most reliable, a mantle my 159 has (unfortunately) proudly picked up and carried on with vigour............

I think the new MOT Checker is great, you can see a cars past clearly and up front. The more info you have good or bad can only be positive

 

[daverichardson]

Good link
Checked both my cars and accurate.
Good tool for the future

[Wack61]

That just advisory , as long as they're legal it's a pass, a number of cars I've checked have Fail, tyre below the legal limit

Why even bother taking it , unless it's garages that service and MOT it at the same time to get a set of tyres out of the job as well

 

[daverichardson]

Small point too is that any work carried out between services or MOT may not be captured in the history
Or am i reading it wrong?
