What You Get — Completely Free

No watered-down results. Our free car check delivers the same detailed data that paid services charge for.

Full MOT History

Every MOT test from 2005 onwards — pass/fail results, test dates, and certificate numbers. See exactly what every examiner found.

Mileage Verification

Compare odometer readings across every MOT test. Spot suspicious drops or jumps that could indicate clocking — the most common used car fraud in the UK.

Advisory & Failure Details

Every advisory notice and failure item colour-coded by severity — minor, major, and dangerous. Know what needs fixing now and what to budget for later.

Current MOT Status

Confirm whether the vehicle has a valid MOT certificate right now. See the exact expiry date so you know if it is legal to drive.

Pass Rate Analysis

See the vehicle's MOT pass rate over its lifetime. A pattern of failures on the same components reveals ongoing neglect.

Component Breakdown

Defects organised by component — brakes, suspension, tyres, lights, emissions. Track which areas have caused repeated problems across tests.

Why Is This Car Check Free?

We believe basic vehicle safety data should be accessible to everyone. Here is how we keep it free.

Official Open Data

MOT history comes from the DVSA — a public dataset. We do not need to buy this data from third parties, so we can pass it on to you at zero cost.

Premium Upgrades

We offer optional premium reports for buyers who want deeper data like finance checks or write-off history. The free tier funds itself through these upgrades.

No Advertising Tricks

We do not sell your data or bombard you with ads. The free check is genuinely free — we earn trust first and revenue second.

Free Car Check — FAQ

Common questions about our free vehicle checking service.

Is this car check really free?
Yes, 100%. Our core car check is completely free with no hidden charges. You do not need to create an account, enter payment details, or sign up for a trial. Enter a registration number and get your results instantly. We believe every UK driver should have access to basic vehicle data without barriers.
What does a free car check include?
Our free car check includes full MOT history from 2005 onwards (pass/fail results, advisories, and failure reasons), mileage readings recorded at every MOT test, mileage anomaly detection to flag potential odometer fraud, MOT expiry date, and vehicle details such as make, model, colour, fuel type, and engine size. This gives you a comprehensive picture of any UK vehicle's condition.
How is this different from an HPI check?
An HPI check (or similar paid vehicle history check) typically includes finance status, write-off records, stolen vehicle markers, and plate change history — data sourced from insurance companies and finance houses. Our free car check focuses on the official DVSA MOT data, which reveals mechanical condition, mileage history, and test results. Many buyers use our free check first, then decide whether to pay for a full HPI check based on what they find.
Do I need to create an account to use this?
No. There is no registration, no email required, and no login. Simply enter the vehicle's registration number and the results appear instantly. We keep it simple so you can check as many vehicles as you like without any friction.
Can I run multiple free car checks?
Absolutely. There is no limit on how many vehicles you can check. If you are browsing used car listings and want to compare several options, you can check every single one at no cost. Each check takes just a few seconds.
