Title: Online Free Car Check -New Beta Site includes MOT details
Post by: zirk on 06 June 2014, 13:39:04
Free Vehicle Checks (Vehicle Details and Tax Status) have been available on the Gov website, Insurance on the AskMID site, checking for MOT Status has always been a bit of a pain without the Current V5 or the Latest Mot Cert.

The New Gov Beta site now gives you Vehicle details, Tax and MOT status/ expeiry with just the Vehicle Reg.  :y

Handy if you forgotten your MOT expiry or are looking at another Car with a Lost Mot Cert brfore setting off.  ;)

The best way to check if it's accurate is to get Opti to check each of his fleet.

I used to write  'Tax in post' on a piece of paper, and then put it in the tax disc holder.

Worked well enough in the seventies. ;D ;D ;)
