What this check is
The DVLA keeps the UK register of vehicles. The DVSA holds MOT test records. This page is VehicleScore's free report for the registration you enter. VehicleScore is not affiliated with the DVLA or GOV.UK. It does not update the V5C, tax the car, or replace the official vehicle enquiry.
Use GOV.UK when you need to tax the vehicle, tell the DVLA about a change of keeper, or replace a V5C. Use this page when you want the recorded identity, tax status and MOT history in one VehicleScore report, plus a score out of 999.
What you can see
- MOT status and history: test date, pass or fail, advisories, and the mileage at each test
- Tax status: Taxed, Untaxed or SORN, and a due date when we hold one
- Make, model, year, colour and fuel
- A VehicleScore out of 999
- Average miles per year, when that can be calculated
- ULEZ, when we hold it
How to run it
- Enter the registration in the box above.
- Select "DVLA Check".
- Read the MOT, tax and vehicle lines on the free report.
What the free report leaves out
It does not include outstanding finance, a stolen marker, an insurance write-off category, salvage records, import or export flags, recalls, a dealer service book, or a sale price. Those are on the paid vehicle history check. The paid report includes £10,000 Experian data cover. Terms, eligibility and claim limits apply.
- MOT history for test dates, results, advisories and mileage
- Finance is part of Hidden History, not this free report
- Stolen markers are also on Hidden History, where a record is held
