Our Methodology

How Car Buyer Check separates MOT records, interpretation, and buyer observations.

Car Buyer Check translates MOT history into questions to investigate. We do not provide a score or declare a vehicle safe or unsafe.

Records versus interpretation

Official MOT wording is kept separate from interpretation and from your viewing notes. A later pass or a missing advisory does not prove that a repair was carried out.

Live government data

On production, registration lookup uses DVSA MOT History. It does not use DVLA. Tax and current MOT expiry are not included. Sample reports and labelled demos remain fictional.
