Frequently Asked Questions

How does the MOT predictor work?

Our system analyzes millions of MOT records to identify statistical patterns and trends. The predictions are based on historical data from vehicles similar to yours, considering factors like make, model, year, and mileage. While we use comprehensive data analysis, predictions are estimates and should be used as a guide rather than a guarantee of future MOT outcomes.

What data sources do you use?

We analyze official DVSA MOT history data, covering millions of test results across all vehicle makes and models. This includes pass/fail results, advisor ies, and defect classifications from every MOT test conducted in the UK.

How is the reliability score calculated?

The score (0-100) evaluates four key factors: your vehicle's MOT pass rate (40 points), defects per test compared to similar vehicles (30 points), mileage reliability (20 points), and recent test consistency (10 points).

Does this work for all vehicles?

The MOT predictor works for any vehicle with MOT history in the DVSA database. Vehicles newer than 3 years or exempt from MOT testing won't have sufficient data for analysis.

Is this a replacement for a professional inspection?

No. While our insights are data-driven and accurate, they should complement—not replace—professional mechanical inspections. Always have a qualified mechanic examine any used vehicle before purchase.

How much does it cost?
