What this page does

Not a recall lookup

Entering a registration here opens the free VehicleScore. It does not list outstanding manufacturer recalls.

GOV.UK recall check

Outstanding safety recalls are checked on GOV.UK. The link is in the sidebar.

What you do get

The free report shows MOT status and history, tax status, and a VehicleScore out of 999.

Service history is separate

A paid service-history report can mention warranty or recall work where that record exists. It is not this form.

Recalls are not on this check

A manufacturer recall is a notice that some cars need a fix, often for a safety defect. VehicleScore does not query that list when you enter a registration here.

Use the GOV.UK vehicle recall check. If a recall is outstanding, the dealer or manufacturer is the place that books the work.

The button above still runs the free report: MOT history, tax status and the VehicleScore. That is a different question from whether a recall has been completed.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The registration box opens the free MOT and tax report. It does not return a manufacturer recall list.

Use the GOV.UK vehicle recall check, linked on this page. A dealer can also tell you whether a known recall has been done.

A manufacturer safety recall is normally fixed without a charge to the keeper. Confirm that with the dealer doing the work. VehicleScore does not book the repair.
