Why check the history?

A useful first step when buying a used car

An MOT history can help you understand how a vehicle has been maintained and what has been flagged in previous tests. Look for repeated advisories, failed tests and the pattern of recorded mileage before making a decision.

  • Compare past pass and fail results.
  • Check how recorded mileage changes between tests.
  • Pay attention to recurring advisories or defects.

MOT history FAQ

Common questions

What is an MOT history check?

An MOT history check shows the recorded MOT tests for a UK vehicle, including whether each test passed or failed, the mileage recorded and any advisories or defects.

How do I check a car's MOT history?

Enter the vehicle registration number above. Kermo will look up the vehicle and show its available MOT history in one timeline.

Can an MOT history check show mileage?

Yes. Where mileage was recorded during an MOT test, Kermo shows it alongside the test date so you can follow the vehicle's recorded mileage over time.

What are MOT advisories?

Advisories are issues noted by the tester that may need attention but did not cause the vehicle to fail its MOT at that test.
