Fancy checking up on your old Hyundai or your grandad's Triumph Mayflower?

I'm sure lots of you already know of this, but some might not...

Click DVLA Vehicle Licensing Online and select "Vehicle Enquiry"

This is the type of info that you can retrieve (my previous MGZR)

Check the MOT of your car (or the one you are thinking of buying)

http://www.motinfo.gov.uk/internet/html/home.html

Note the following, however...

This service enables you to

   1. Confirm that an MOT Certificate is a genuine record of that stored on the MOT Computerisation database


   2. Check the status of a vehicle that has undergone a recent MOT Test


   3. View the MOT Test history of a vehicle. (This only relates to MOT Tests conducted on a vehicle since the introduction of MOT Computerisation).

What you will need

Before you can access the information from the MOT Computerisation database you will need the following:

    * The vehicle registration mark from the number plate

      And EITHER
          o The MOT test number from the VT20 MOT Test Certificate or VT30 Refusal of an MOT Certificate

            OR
          o The document reference number from the V5C Registration Certificate issued by the DVLA

Worth a look at:

To reveal to the ordinary UK motorist, clearly and concisely, how the government, police and judicial system deal with allegations of motoring offences in real life, and to provide the information motorists need to defend themselves.
