For those that are interested, the new MOT history site..

[ZOLLAR]

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.

Updated with new link

Doesn't pick up the details of the Saab I got rid of a couple of years ago or my Dad's old car...

Yeah I just tried a car I know is MOT'd and it didn't pick it up, it's not running at 100% atm (beta stage)

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.

Hmmmm, I would be suspicious of that site. All the sites from the DVLA ive seen have the. gov.uk moniker on them

Just saying.

It's not the DVLA that handle it (like the previous ones) the newly formed DVSA do.

It seems that the MOT garage has been removed from the search results again!

ffs, just checked and that appears to be correct.
That's quite annoying.
