This is a really useful if you purchase a second hand car at any time with an MOT (Or check the MOT History of your car back to its first MOT)
Not only does it show the DAte of Each MOT and the Mileage of the car (Useful for checking clocking).
But it also shows the full history of each MOT, including any reasons for a failure and advisories given.
As some times you buy a car with a pass certificate but it could have had hidden problems marked as advisory that will come back to bite you in the future.
You Need
1: Registration Number of your car
2: Serial Number from Last MOT Certificate or Serical Number from V5 Doc

And off you go.
Well worth a check to see if there are any things you may need to keep an eye on in the future.
For example, My one showed my Fiat Multipla has a tendancy to need new Track Rod ends and wears tyres each year.
