About Us
MyMOTStatus.co.uk was built for one simple reason. Vehicle safety and ownership checks should be fast, clear, and accessible to everyone. Not hidden behind complicated steps, confusing pages, or unnecessary costs.
We help drivers, buyers, sellers, and fleet users check key vehicle details in seconds. Our platform focuses on practical answers that matter on the road and in real purchase decisions.
Meet the Founder
My MOT Status was founded by Julia, a DVSA-approved MOT tester with 12 years’ experience running her own garages in the UK.
Before building this site, Julia spent over a decade on the other side of the counter — testing vehicles, explaining advisories to worried customers, and watching the same few things trip drivers up again and again: not knowing their MOT was about to expire, not understanding what an advisory actually meant, or turning up for a test with a fault that a five-minute check beforehand would have caught.
My MOT Status started as a way to put that same information in front of drivers before they need a garage, not after — a free way to check a vehicle’s MOT and tax status, and clear, tester-written guidance on what actually gets checked and why. Julia still writes and reviews the site’s MOT content herself, drawing on what she sees on the ramp, not just what’s written in the official guidance.
We designed My MOT Status around how people actually search for MOT information.
