Capabilities

Tools 3

get_mot_history

UK-registered vehicles only. From official DVSA MOT records. Full MOT test history for a UK vehicle: every test with its date, result, recorded mileage, and the advisories, minor defects and failures found. Also reports whether the recorded mileage ever went down between tests, which can indicate clocking or an error. Use for 'why did it fail its MOT', 'what were the advisories', 'show me the MOT history', 'past MOT results', 'mileage history', 'has it been clocked', 'is the mileage consistent'.

Discovered
get_mot_status

UK-registered vehicles only. From official DVSA MOT records. When is the MOT due, when does it expire or run out, is it still valid: the current MOT status of a UK car, van or motorbike, its MOT expiry date and days remaining, and the result, mileage, advisories and defects from its most recent MOT test. Status first_mot_not_due means the vehicle is under three years old and has not needed an MOT yet; expiry_date is then the date its first MOT is due. Use for 'when is my MOT due', 'when is the MOT due on wr25vup', 'has my MOT expired', 'when do I need to renew my MOT', 'did it pass its last MOT'.

Discovered
lookup_vehicle

UK-registered vehicles only. From DVSA, DVLA and HPI data. Look up a UK number plate (reg, registration) and get the vehicle's make, model, colour, year, fuel type and age, whether it has a valid MOT and when it expires, and whether it is taxed and when the tax is due. The best first call for any general question about a UK car, van or motorbike: 'what car is wr25vup', 'check this number plate', 'look up this reg', 'is it taxed', 'when is the tax due', 'is it road legal', 'how old is it'.
