Advisories and failures
Review factual advisory and failure items so you can ask better questions before a viewing.
Mileage at MOT
Check recorded odometer readings attached to MOT tests and compare how the mileage progresses over time.
Latest MOT status
Start with the latest MOT status and expiry information when it is available for the registration.
What to look for
MOT history can reveal useful factual signals about how a vehicle has been maintained, but it should be read carefully.
- Repeated advisories across several tests
- Failures for structural, braking or suspension items
- Large mileage gaps between MOT readings
- A recent MOT that still lists advisory work
What MOT does not prove
An MOT result is a snapshot at the time of the test. It is not a full mechanical inspection, warranty or proof of current condition.
- A passed MOT does not guarantee the car is problem-free
- Advisory repairs may or may not have been completed
- Condition can change after the test date
- Paperwork and physical inspection still matter

Questions buyers ask
Before you check a registration.
Can I check MOT history by registration?
Yes. Enter the UK registration and Carlarity will show available MOT records in the free vehicle report.
Does an MOT pass mean the car is safe to buy?
No. A pass is useful, but it is not a guarantee of current condition. Review advisories, inspect the car and verify paperwork.
Are MOT mileage readings the same as current mileage?
No. MOT mileage is recorded at test dates. The current odometer may be higher when you view the vehicle.
What does Premium add to MOT history?
Premium can interpret recurring defects, mileage consistency and inspection priorities instead of only listing factual MOT rows.
