Terms Of Use

Last updated: 8 November 2026

By using govmotcheck.co.uk you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Who We Are

GovMotCheck is run by the operator of GovMotCheck. We are an independent website and not a government body. See About GovMotCheck.

What The Service Provides

We provide a free vehicle lookup and general guides about MOT testing. The service is provided as is and we may change, pause or withdraw it at any time.

Accuracy And Official Sources

Important

Information on this site is general guidance, not legal, financial or mechanical advice. MOT data comes from official records and may be incomplete or out of date. Always confirm fees, dates and rules with GOV.UK, DVSA, DVLA or NI Direct before relying on them, especially when buying or selling a vehicle.

Acceptable Use

You must not:

  • Use bots, scrapers or other automated tools to copy the site or run bulk lookups.
  • Overload, probe or attempt to break the site or its security.
  • Use results to harass anyone or for any unlawful purpose.
  • Pretend to be us or suggest we are connected to a government body.

We may block access that breaks these rules.

Intellectual Property

The text, design, logo and infographics on this site belong to us or our licensors. You may quote short extracts with a link back to the source. You may not republish whole guides or images without written permission. MOT data remains subject to the terms of the official data provider.

Links To Other Sites

We link to GOV.UK and other sites for convenience. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content.

Limits On Our Liability

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. Otherwise, to the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for losses arising from your use of, or reliance on, the site, including decisions about buying, selling, repairing or driving a vehicle.

Changes To These Terms

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version, and continued use means you accept the changes.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and its courts have jurisdiction, except where you have mandatory consumer rights to use the courts where you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland.
