RegScan is a free tool for checking a UK vehicle's MOT and tax status from its registration. Enter a reg and you get live MOT status, the full MOT history with advisories, and current tax status - on one page, in seconds.
Official data, presented plainly
The information comes straight from two government sources: the DVSA MOT History API for MOT results, and the DVLA Vehicle Enquiry Service for tax and vehicle details. We don't edit or interpret the records - you see exactly what the government holds, just combined and made easier to read.
What makes RegScan different
- Recurring-advisory detection. We group a car's advisories across every MOT and flag the ones that keep coming back - often a sign of a worsening fault most checkers don't surface.
- Genuinely free. No sign-up, no card, unlimited checks.
- MOT and tax together. One lookup instead of two separate government pages.
Independent
RegScan is an independent service that uses the official open government APIs. We are not part of, or affiliated with, the DVSA, DVLA or GOV.UK, and we don't represent ourselves as such.
