MOT Reminder FAQs

How do I check when my MOT is due?

Is the MOT check and reminder service free?

Yes. It's completely free to check your MOT status and set up reminders.

Where does the MOT information come from?

All MOT data is sourced directly from the DVSA MOT History service at the time you make your query.

Will you remind me before my MOT expires?

Yes. We'll send MOT reminders to the email address or mobile number you provide. Add Motorly to your contacts so reminders don't go to spam.

Do I need my V5C log book to check my MOT?

No. You only need your vehicle registration number (number plate) to check your MOT status.

Can I check someone else's MOT?

You can look up any vehicle's MOT status by registration number, but only set up reminders using your own contact details. You can set up the reminder service for multiple vehicles.

My MOT data looks wrong. What should I do?

DVSA MOT records can take a few days to update after a test. If the information still seems incorrect, contact your MOT test centre or check the official DVSA guidance.

Which vehicles are covered by the MOT check?

Most cars and small vans are included in the DVSA MOT History database. Some vehicle classes (such as certain goods vehicles or exempt classic cars) may differ. Check GOV.UK if you're unsure about your vehicle.

How far in advance can I book an MOT?

You can book your MOT test up to one month minus a day before your current MOT expires and still keep the same renewal date.

What if my MOT has already expired?

Driving without a valid MOT is illegal except in limited circumstances, such as driving directly to a pre-booked MOT test. Check GOV.UK for official guidance on MOT requirements.
