it was the best thing they ever did now buyers can't "lose" old MOTs showing wild mileage etc. When looking for a new car lately it amazed me how many people "lost" the advisory off the current MOT certificate, quick check online and you can understand why they didn't want prospective buyers seeing the advisory.

I went to check my mot and it's saying
Error: We are unable to process your request because of one of the following reasons:

• the test number does not exist.
• the document number from the V5C registration certificate does not exist or does not match the vehicle registration mark.

Does this mean i got a dodgy mot.

Might be. Or you have made a typing mistake. Or there has been a newer V5 issued and you re using the old ref number.

You don't put the spaces in that are in the document number

Of course, when buying a second hand car I would love to read the previous MOT'S and advisories. Don't think it will work with just reg number, though!

You get the v5, or the current MOT, tap it in the phone on the mobile internet, they're all there in a few seconds.

Yes, I suppose if the seller wont allow a proper look at these documents, then walk away.

Ask for the MOT number before you go as part of your research. Save a wasted journey.
