What the check returns
The whole record, not a summary
Expiry date
The exact day the current certificate runs out, and how many days you have left before driving becomes illegal.
Every pass and fail
All tests since the car turned three, with the exact reasons for refusal recorded by the examiner.
Recorded mileage
The odometer reading logged at each test — the quickest way to spot a clocked car before you buy it.
Advisories
The items an examiner flagged but passed — the parts most likely to fail next year, so you can price the work early.
Free, no sign-up, straight from DVSA. Then pick an approved test centre near you — the fee is capped by law at £54.85 for a car, and plenty of garages charge less.

- Google Ratings and contact details
MOT test station listings come from the DVSA's register of active test stations, published as open government data and refreshed on our site as new editions are released. Garage contact details and ratings are drawn from public sources including Google, and garages can correct their details by claiming their listing free. ClearMOT is independent: no garage can pay to change how it ranks, and featured placement — when we introduce it — will always be labelled. Found something wrong? Every listing has a claim link so the owner can fix it.
