Complete MOT History Analysis

Every test, every defect, every trend — structured and visualised so you see what raw MOT data hides.

What You See

Full test timelineEvery MOT test plotted chronologically — pass or fail, date, mileage at test, and odometer reading. Spot gaps, frequency changes, and mileage jumps at a glance.
Defect breakdownEvery defect from every test, categorised by type (advisory, minor, major, dangerous) and grouped by system (brakes, suspension, emissions, lighting, tyres, safety, corrosion).
Recurring issue detectionDefects that appear on 2+ consecutive tests are flagged automatically. A brake advisory that persists across three tests is a very different signal from a one-off advisory that was fixed.
Mileage analysisAnnual mileage calculated from consecutive odometer readings. Flags inconsistencies — a car that did 12k, 11k, 13k, then suddenly 3k in a year may have had the clock wound back or sat unused.
Severity progressionTrack how defects escalate over time. An advisory in 2021 → minor in 2022 → major in 2023 tells a clear story about deterioration.
MOT expiry & statusCurrent MOT status with expiry date. Know whether the car is legally driveable before you go to view it.

Why Raw MOT Data Isn't Enough

What the raw MOT certificate says

  • 2023: Pass (advisory: brake pad wear)
  • 2022: Pass (advisory: brake pad wear)
  • 2021: Pass (advisory: brake pad wear)
  • 2020: Pass

What CarHunch shows you

  • Brake pad advisory has persisted for 3 consecutive years without being addressed
  • This pattern matches vehicles that go on to fail on brakes within 1–2 tests
  • 42% of peer vehicles with this pattern failed their next MOT on a brake-related defect
The raw data looks fine — "Pass" every year. The pattern tells a different story.

Data Freshness

Our MOT data comes directly from official DVLA sources and is updated daily via an automated pipeline. When a vehicle is tested today, that result is typically available on CarHunch within 24 hours.
