Check MOT online

[blaze_away]

A few months ago I saw a post that had a link to a site where with just the reg number you could check the MOT status of a vehicle with just the reg number. PH search is down still so can anyone help and provide either the link or the original post ?

Thanks cerbieherts, That link requires you to have Reg number PLUS other details.

and thats the problem I only have the reg number, owner can't find the other papers and I want to buy it and drive home but need to tax it first.

To use this service you will need the vehicle registration mark along with an MOT test number from one of the following:
• VT20 test certificate
• VT30 refusal certificate
or the document reference number from
• V5C registration certificate

Thanks all for the input, I know the car and owner very well, merely trying to get the car safely & legally, from A to B and just making sure it has an MOT to do so, no fears about the legitimacy of ownership.

With regard to 'is MOT info available online with just reg number" ?

Yes it is (was in December 'ish anyway) There was a post on PH with a link and I put in all 5 car reg numbers of the 5 cars in my household and checked the MOT dates, I didn't need any other info, I also obtained the 'history' of the checks with any advisories as well.

Cheers all, useful stuff.

I am still hunting the elusive post where a link was made so that you can get MOT data with just the reg number, I know it exeists because I used it Dec last year.

Someone defo posted the link.......I really wish the PH search was working.
