Why use AutoSter's free MOT check?
An MOT check is the fastest way to find out if a UK car is legal to drive and how well it's been looked after. Whether you're buying a used car, selling your own, or just checking when your MOT runs out, our free MOT history check gives you the answers in seconds — using official data from the DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency).
Buying a used car? Always do an MOT check first
Before paying for a private used car, a free MOT check reveals red flags a seller may not mention — recent failures, repeat advisories on the same component, or suspicious mileage jumps between tests.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the MOT check really free?
- Yes — it's 100% free and uses official DVSA data. No signup, no payment.
- What do I need to check a car's MOT?
- Just the registration number (number plate). No personal details required.
- How far back does MOT history go?
- DVSA records typically go back to 2005, covering every MOT test done in England, Scotland and Wales.
- Can I check Northern Ireland vehicles?
- Northern Ireland uses the DVA, not DVSA, so MOT history for NI-registered vehicles isn't available through this free check.
