Add to ChromeWhat it shows
Every MOT test
Date and result of each test, newest first, with fails in red.
Mileage at each test
Drops and long gaps stand out before you read a single advisory.
Advisories and defects
Grouped by severity, so the same corrosion note three years running is easy to spot.
The car itself
Make, model, year, fuel type and current MOT status.
From the official DVSA MOT History API, the same record GOV.UK's MOT check shows.
How to run it
- 01
Right-click the photo
Any car photo with the plate in view: an auction lot, a Marketplace ad, a dealer page.
- 02
Choose ANPR
The extension reads the registration from the image. You don't type anything.
- 03
Read the history on the page
The MOT popup opens beside the car. Drag it aside, open another, keep scrolling.
When to run it
Run it on every car you scroll past. It costs pennies and rules most bad stock out before you spend more time on it.

Buying 100 to 1,000 cars a year? Check every lot's MOT before you bid, straight from the catalogue.
Dealers sourcing stock
Advisories, fails and mileage gaps show in one click, so bad stock goes before you waste time on it.

Flip a few cars a year or just like looking? 30 checks a month are free.
The history opens next to the car
New to reading MOT records? How to read an MOT history and the MOT defects list explain what you'll see.

Questions
- I can check MOTs free on GOV.UK. Why pay?
- You can, one car at a time, typing each reg in another tab. This checks the car in the photo you are already looking at, in one click. Fine for one car. Slow for a catalogue.
- Where does the MOT data come from?
- The official DVSA MOT History API. The same record the government holds.
- What does an MOT history check cost?
- One basic credit. 30 are free every month. After that, 2.5p each, 2p from 500 and 1.75p from 1,000. Minimum pack 200.
- Do I pay twice for the same car?
- No. Look up the same image again and it is not charged.
