How to Check MOT History
An MOT history check can show how a vehicle has performed at previous tests and highlight issues worth investigating.
1. Start with the registration number
Use the vehicle registration to find the recorded MOT history. Kermo presents the available tests in a single timeline so you can review the record without working through separate entries.
2. Check the pass and fail pattern
Look beyond the latest result. Repeated failures or recurring issues can be more useful than a single recent pass when you are assessing a used car.
3. Look at the mileage
Compare the mileage recorded at each MOT. A steady progression is generally easier to understand than unexplained gaps or sudden changes.
4. Read advisories and defects
Advisories are issues noted by the tester that did not necessarily cause a failure. Recurring advisories can be useful clues about maintenance and wear.
