For those that are interested, the new MOT history site..
Discussion
is up and running!
The old one went down a couple of weeks ago due to the change to the new DVSA (I think), the new site no longer requires the MOT test number or the V5 reference number.
Just put the registration in and the make in then you get the MOT history, should make buying cars a little smoother.

Thanks, I wasn't aware they had this open to Joe Public. Interesting to see my miles were only around the 5k mark last year. This is down to the other half moving in with me and we tend to use her car for the practical stuff. As a result I could probably have benefited from the cheap 5k allowance lease deals!

Ha. Just found out that the "recommended garage" I took mine to failed my car on items that I knew about beforehand and asked them to carry out in the service before doing the MOT, and then retested it.
Another reason not to go back there.
That's normal practise. No point doing the repairs, going through the MOT and finding it fails on something else.Another reason not to go back there.
Just put my car in and it came up as diesel rather than petrol. Good old DVLA.

Doesn't seem to work for personalised plates, can anyone else confirm?
Mine is a private plate and picks it up but I tried another with a private plate and it didn't.Mine is the current format Two letters, two numbers and three letters and the other one isn't so perhaps it's that.
Good spot.
Been using it to check some cars I've been looking at on Ebay.
Have already found one that if you put in the reg and make, the MOT details returned are for the same model of car, but different engine size. They also state the car failed it's last MOT, even though the ad says it has one until next year.
