Buying a used car, motorbike, or van in the UK? Always check the MOT, road tax, and full history first! VehicleSmart® Car Check, the UK's most popular car check app, trusted by over 3 million drivers, helps you do just that. With over 91 million vehicle checks completed in 2023, it's a reliable resource.

A free check reveals a UK vehicle's MOT and mileage history, including when MOT and road tax expire. However, for complete peace of mind, always get a full VehicleSmart® check before purchasing a used vehicle.

• Last registered date
• Make & Model
• Colour
• Vehicle age
• Export marker
• Fuel type
• Engine size
• CO2 output and rating
