Online MOT History

[koooowweeee]

Interestingly on a MOT prior to me owning my current car it had:

"Nearside Front Tyre not fitted in accordance with side wall instructions (4.1.D.1f)
Offside Rear Tyre not fitted in accordance with side wall instructions (4.1.D.1f)"

What does this even mean? Low air pressure or on the wrong way around?

What does this even mean? Low air pressure or on the wrong way around?

Probably has to do with the inside or outside markings on the sidewall.

I've seen far too many cars with tyres fitted incorrectly in this manner.

 

[opstrat]

mine has failed a few times

Rear Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (7.1.2)

Trailer electrical socket (13 pin) not operating the trailer lamps as intended (1.9.4)
Brake fluid warning lamp illuminated (3.6.G.2)

Parking brake lever has no reserve travel (3.1.6b)

Small tear to find out that my perfectly well looked after 1996 citroen ax never had another MOT after I sold it Was such a good wee car too.

You no longer need a v5 reference number though, which makes it more convenient and useful.

Holy crap, my old BMW has been clocked this year

My old Alfa seems to have morphed into a diesel.

My old Saxo which was sold years ago obviously has a cool owner now:

"Windscreen has a sticker or other obstruction encroaching into the swept area by more than 40mm outside zone 'A' (8.3.1e)"


Sigh....

Seems it only works for mainland plates. Hoping they will make it work with NI plates

 

[almoststew1990]

It's good to see that the previous owners of my car made every effort to thoroughly... not give a hoot about my car !

2008- Both front suspension arms bishes deteriorated but not resulting in exessive movement. Also no passenger mirror (!)

2009- same

2010- Same, but does result in excessive movement so fail!

2013- wear on o/s/f tyre

2014- ply/cords showing on o/s/f tyre (fail)

my old 1995 nissan has an MOT till May 2016 with 131k on it though

Edit- after reading other people's maybe mine isnt so bad!!

 

[[TW]Fox]

This is VERY broken.

Put in a reg for one car (not mine) and... I get the complete MOT history including the current for a car that plate hasn't been on for 5 years. The plate has been on two cars since (one of which it is still on) none of which are listed.

Yet mine works fine.

 

[xs2man]

I'm only seeing the most recent MOT there. Booooo.

 

[ShiWarrior]

Thanks Howard !!

 

[Kaeo]

Yeah seems like in many cases you need to use a cars original reg number for this to work.

 

[LiGhTfasT]

Wow was a little gutted I missed out on a car which had just sold but looking at the history of a long "oil leak" and tyres wearing unevenly each year. Sounds a lemon.

Thanks!
