Free UK MOT Check – Instant MOT History & Expiry Date

CarVerified lets you run a free UK MOT check in seconds using just a registration number. Before buying a used car, it’s essential to understand its MOT history, mileage trends, and any recurring advisories that may turn into expensive repairs.

What our MOT check includes:

• Full MOT history – passes, failures & reasons

• Mileage readings at every test

• Advisories & defects

• MOT expiry date

A free MOT check is one of the quickest ways to spot neglected vehicles, potential safety issues, and cars that may have hidden problems. Combined with our GOLD CHECK, you can also see write‑off history, outstanding finance, stolen status, and more.
