Not only does it show the Date of Each MOT and the Mileage of the car (Useful for checking clocking).
But it also shows the full history of each MOT, including any reasons for a failure and advisories given.

And off you go.
Well worth a check to see if there are any things you may need to keep an eye on in the future.
For example, My one showed my Fiat Multipla has a tendancy to need new Track Rod ends and wears tyres each year

Jump to unread Post a Commentinteresting to see Nationwide failed mine in October 2005 for 2 faults and wanted £300 for repair so MOT'd it elsewhere and it passed. Took it back to Nationwide in 2008 & 2009 and it seems to have repaired itself as it passed!
Mine went back to its first MOT (5 Years)

Actually, the last place that MoT'd it should be shut down. I bought it with a full MoT and after I had checked it there is no way it should have passed. Dodgy brakes (fixed by me ), poor sterring (local garage did that) and various lights not workling because the wiring had frayed (again, now fixed by me).
Just checked and the fault my car currently has (and in garage for) was also one of the reasons it failed it's last MOT (before I bought it). Suspicious. And really annoying!

annoys the hell out of me when you see the police stop someone and ask stupid bloody questions like "is it insured" cause any sod can go online and check this stuff out so why they waste time asking?
I got stopped once because it was the first of the month and i had forgot to put my new tax disk out which yes was my fault but for some reason I then had to goto my local station and show it was insured and was mine. Really a tool just to annoy people really.
rant over :)
Don't forget you can find out the quite alot about a car by pretending to sell in via ebay just by putting the registration number in and viewing the details that come up don't even need log book reference code!
Comes up with all kind of stuff like model, cc, previous owners, etc :thumbsup:

Thanks for this, very interesting :whistling:
This is providing that your another MOT garage finds no faults with your car.
The fact the car is insured isn't the only thing to consider. What matters is if the driver behind the wheel at that time is insured. Not everybody driving a vehicle is the registered keeper.
Not every insurer subscribes to the online insurance database. Therefore, a roadside check can't always be completed. Or the database may be offline at the time. The database also only contains limited information and it maybe that the officer requires more details on what is and isn't covered.
