What you will need
|
|
To access
the information from the MOT Computerisation database, you will need
to know:
the vehicle's registration mark from the number plate
and either
the test number from the MOT Certificate or VT30 Refusal
of an MOT Test Certificate (failure notice)
or
the reference number from the vehicle's registration certificate.
(The V5C issued by DVLA.)
Q. My MOT Certificate was not issued using MOT Computerisation.
Is it still valid?
A. Although the test conducted when your
old style certificate was issued is not recorded on MOT Computerisation,
the Certificate remains valid until the expiry date shown on the certificate.
If you have any concerns on the authenticity of the certificate you
should contact the Vehicle Operator & Services Agency MOT Enquiry
Service on 0870 33 00 444 (calls charged at the national rate - your
call may be monitored or recorded for lawful purposes).
Q. My vehicle is registered in Northern Ireland. Will its MOT
Test be recorded on MOT Computerisation?
A. It depends on where the test was conducted.
The test will only be recorded if it was conducted in England, Scotland
or Wales.
Q. I've requested a test history but recent tests are not shown.
I entered the reference number from my vehicle's log book.
A. Check to ensure that you used the
reference number from the most recent V5C that DVLA has issued to
you. We cannot show you tests conducted after DVLA has reissued a
registration certificate as you may no longer be entitled to access
the information.
Q. I've a test number obtained from a 'Refusal of an MOT Certificate'
document. Can I use this test number to obtain information?
A. You can use this document to request
a status or history, providing that it was issued as a result of a
test that failed or was abandoned.
Q. I've checked the status of the vehicle using this site and
I would like a formal record of the statement that I can present to
a court.
A. Please contact Vehicle Operator &
Services Agency MOT Enquiry Service on 0870 33 00 444 (calls charged
at the national rate - your call may be monitored or recorded for
lawful purposes), who will be able to assist. There may be an additional
charge for this service and you will be advised of this when you contact
the enquiry service.
Q. I've requested a test status and the response indicates
that this is a failure but gives no details.
A. Details of the failure items will
be shown (along with other tests) if you request a test history using
the same test number or reference number.
Q. I've requested a test status using the reference number
from my vehicle's log book and the response indicates there are later
tests that are either test failures or abandoned tests.
A. You have been shown details of the
most recent pass. Details of these later failed or abandoned tests
will be shown if you request a test history using the same reference
number.
Q. I've requested a test status and the response indicates
that there is a later test under a more recent test number or DVLA
reference number.
A. This indicates that we hold information
about a test conducted after the one shown. We cannot show you detail
about this test unless you can either supply the test number for the
test, or the reference number from the most recent V5C issued by DVLA
before the test.
Q. Can I check the MOT status or request the test history by
telephone?
A. Yes. You can request the test status
by contacting the Vehicle Operator & Services Agency MOT Enquiry Service
on 0870 33 00 444 (calls charged at the national rate - your call
may be monitored or recorded for lawful purposes). You can request
the test history by contacting the Vehicle Operator & Services Agency
MOT History Service on 090 612 099 41. Calls to the MOT History Service
are charged at a premium rate of £1.50 per minute and should last
approximately two minutes and if a record of the vehicle is found
a report will be posted to you. Your call may be monitored or recorded
for lawful purposes. In both cases you require the same information
that you need to use this site. |
