Looks like it's FREE, that makes it a good idea nowadays.

Can't see any problems.

so you just punch in the details and it tells you who and when it was done or does it also tell you what it failed on or was given as an advisory and exhaust emissions and all that other bumpf too?

Good for people selling decent genuine cars, but bad for people selling sheds who lie that it went straight through the last test with no problems.

So it can only be a good thing surely.

Or those that advertise it with a current MoT, but coveniently can't find it and say they will forward it on....

This thread is a perfect example.... https://passionford.com/forum/viewto...ght=police+mot

I just checked my car.

Shows MOT history back to 2005. It failed on 2006 on worm trailing arm ball joint, emissions and brake pads.

Passed 3 days later, no advisories.
