Compare a used car with 209 million MOT tests

Enter the registration from an advert to see how that specific car's MOT record compares with the same model at the same age — not just its history, but whether that history is better or worse than normal.

What you will learn

How this car compares with its cohort. The first-time MOT failure rate for the same model at the same age, measured across hundreds of thousands of real tests, set beside this car's own record.

Whether its mileage is normal. Where the car's annual mileage sits among cars of the same model and age — far below, typical or far above — because wear follows miles, not years.

What a failure in its history tends to mean. Cars of the same model that failed one MOT fail the next one more often than those that passed; if this car's last test was a failure, the comparison says by how much.

What tends to follow an advisory. For advisory groups on the latest test, see how often cars of this model failed on the same group at their next ordinary MOT.

How the model appears at this age. Compare its presence in MOT records with ages four to six, alongside repeated advisories and unusual mileage patterns in this car's record.

Statistical information, not vehicle condition advice. A statistical comparison cannot see the car in front of you; a pre-purchase inspection can.
