Always handy.....  https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-status

You can also check a cars MOT history, this can be very interesting!!!! Shows pass or fail, dates, mileage, advisories etc etc.

I found some interesting past advisories I never knew about on my Tiger.

Even more handy!!......  https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history

Those links are very interesting, thanks for posting them 8)

Nice to see if some of my old cars are still on the road.

Bugger! MoT on the trannyvan ran out 3 days ago :(. So it looks like I have to rely on Ratbag to get to the trough tomorrow. Weather permitting I may slide through Queens sq first.

Exactly Gaffer, very useful eh! You can check out your dodgey neighbours or family or whomever! I just checked my old Lotus which I bought 34 years ago, it's still MOT'd and on the road and doing about 700 miles a year!! It's still blue too.

I really want to see it again one day. I may write to the DVLA and get the current owners details to see where in the world it is nowadays.

Did you discover that youir MOT was out via the link Dave or is that just a coincidence?

I'm sure you can cadge a lift with someone? My current plan is to go to Queens in the Tiger (weather permitting) then go back home and get the tin top to go to the pig out. It's a lot of faff though as it's in totally the opposite direction for me! I haven't worked out if that is do-able on timings yet either. If the weather is pants I will either tin top it to Queens and then decide what to do or skip Queens, have a lie in and then go to the meal. If I can't pick you up I'm sure someone could?

Of course it may be that you actually want to go to the meal in Ratbag, in which case totally ignore all I have said!  ;D ;D

No, I tried the links and went to the site ok, entered the reg number and vehicle type and it didn't find it. Had the same with Ratbag too. I insured both on line last month and taxed the van too, using the V11 reminder. I looked at the paperwork MoT and found out.

I have found the same with certain vehicles, for example it finds the Tiger and the Fury but not the Asbo. Weird.

I checked a mates car and the mileage went down no less than 3 times between certain MOT's, it's been clocked!!!!!

You will find the ASBO resgistered at Bristol Crown Court!
