Who can access MOT records and for how long?

[LDN]

Can traders access MOT attempts / failures ? And for how long? And can other MOT stations access MOT failures / attempts?

[LDN]

Wow! Never knew. Thanks chaps

[LDN]

It's a great tool and I'm not sure how many people know it exists... I didn't until today!

[LDN]

I just checked the history on family cars and my partners; every time I wait for the results; my heart speeds up. Touch wood; no issues!

Everyone should know of this website... it should be common knowledge.

Ok, I just checked my fathers car... some oddities with the dates and mileages... I'm a little perplexed and a tad anxious here - what could this mean?

To me it looks more like there are two or more cars there and the MoT system has gone completely daffy, plate change confusion maybe? If you extract every second entry from the list it seems to make a lot more sense.

If it's clocking it's the most grossly incompetent attempt I've ever seen. I'd be questioning the data myself, although clocking is a possibility I guess.

Interesting...... thank you for that. I will try to delve deeper.
