See the available MOT records, recorded defects and mileage readings before you go to view the car. No card. No account.
Free MOT history + mileage readings. Full buyer report £9.99.
The free records are a starting point. Here is how to use them without reading too much into a pass or an advisory.
Enter the registration above to see the available official vehicle facts, recorded MOT tests, recorded defects and MOT mileage readings. No card or account is needed for the free preview.
Open the MOT-history dropdown to read the returned records. Readings and test coverage depend on the official source; a missing record is not a clean bill of health.
Look beyond the latest pass. Compare the recorded mileage over time and note repeated tyre, brake, suspension or corrosion comments. Use those details to ask the seller for repair evidence before travelling.
A past advisory is a question to investigate, not proof that the fault is still present. Equally, a later pass does not tell you every detail of the work that may have been done.
Available official MOT records, test outcomes, recorded defects, vehicle facts and MOT mileage readings.
Available licensed finance, stolen and write-off checks; the CarSussed buying verdict; valuation context where available; negotiation guidance and viewing questions.
Neither option is a physical inspection, a service-history certificate or a guarantee. An unavailable history field stays unknown; it should not be read as clear.
Match the vehicle to its documents, ask for service and repair invoices, and check the current physical condition. The recorded history helps you decide which questions deserve attention.
For the wider purchase decision, see an example of the full buyer report. You can stay with the free records or choose the £9.99 upgrade after reviewing the preview.
First check the registration with the seller. A young vehicle, an import, a registration change, limited source coverage or a temporary service problem may need further investigation. No result does not establish the vehicle’s condition or history.
You can also check the official GOV.UK MOT-history service. CarSussed adds its own buyer guidance in the optional paid report; it is not the government service.
The distinction: MOT records show what was recorded at tests. The full buyer report helps put available history and buying risks into context.
