MOT Status Checker FAQ
- Can I check a vehicle's MOT history without entering personal details?
- Yes, MotRadar does not require a login, email address, or marketing consent to run a MOT check using only the vehicle's registration number.
- What kind of defects and advisories will the MOT report show?
- The report lists dangerous, major, minor defects and advisories recorded in the MOT history, focusing on information that can be traced back to official DVSA records.
- How recent is the MOT data on MotRadar?
- MotRadar queries live DVSA data from the server, and the page labels any record that is incomplete, stale, or unavailable rather than presenting it as certain.
- Does MotRadar store or share my registration number with third parties?
- No, the tool does not ask for a login and does not send DVSA credentials to the browser; it only uses the registration number to query official records.
