UK registration check

Check a bike by its registration

Make, model, colour, year and engine size, whether the MOT is valid and when it runs out, and every MOT test on record with its advisories and mileage. From the government's own records. Free.

UK registrations, Northern Ireland included. The registration goes to the DVSA and the answer is kept for a day, so a second look costs nothing. Nothing about you is stored with it.

What comes back

Make, model, colour, year and engine size. MOT status and expiry. Tax status is with the DVLA: check it on GOV.UK.

Every test

Result, date, mileage and the tester's notes, back to the first MOT. A bike under three years old shows when its first test is due.

Read for you

Corrosion counts for more than a blown bulb. Mileage that goes backwards and repeated fails are flagged, with a score out of 100 and one line per point.
