Free MOT & tax check

Free MOT and tax check by registration.

No sign-up. Enter a UK registration and see live DVLA data — MOT status, tax status, expiry dates, CO₂ and fuel type — in under three seconds.

  • Live from the DVLA Vehicle Enquiry Service

  • Tax status and tax due date

What the free DVLA check tells you

The free check is the fastest way to verify a car exists as described. If the seller says it's a 2019 grey diesel Golf, the DVLA record will back that up — or won't. Cloned plates, wrong year and misdescribed models fall out immediately.

When you're ready to go deeper — finance status, insurance write-off history, mileage timeline, valuation — the Buyer Check and Full Buyer Protection Check unlock on the same page.

Common questions

Is the MOT and tax check really free?

Yes. The free DVLA summary is on screen in under three seconds — no sign-up, no card details. You only pay if you decide to unlock the Buyer Check or Full Buyer Protection Check for finance, write-off and valuation data.

What does the free check include?

Make, model, colour, fuel type, year, MOT status, MOT expiry date, tax status, tax due date and CO₂ emissions — pulled directly from the DVLA Vehicle Enquiry Service.

Do I need an account?

No account is needed for the free DVLA check. You only need to sign in when you unlock a paid report so we can save it to your account and email you a PDF.

Before you buy, check the reg.

Full Buyer Protection Check from £8.90 — finance, write-off and theft included.
