Is anyone on here able to tell me where a used car was mot'd if I gave you the test station number?

Thanks

Doesn't seem to work as requires 5-7 digit number.

The number I have is
MOT test number
9603 1681 0156

That’s the actual test number. You can’t trace it by that I don’t think.

do you own the car?
apply for replacement cert - which will have the station number on it.

Yes, the OP said "test station number", not the test number. The certificate will have the information.
If you're buying a used car, then you need to see the certificate, or the V5 number, from which you can get a certificate.
The dealer isn't supposed to show it to you, but if you can read upside down then sitting at the salesman's desk is invaluable! banditbiggrin

Not the same thing! When this was first added to the gov website the test station was on there, but they govt backtracked because it could be used for stalking. Or so they say. What a suspicious world we live in!

You need the V5C document of the car. If you have it, just go on the gov mot checker website.
