    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why check both MOT and tax together?

    Both are legal requirements for driving. A vehicle with expired MOT or tax cannot be legally driven on public roads and your insurance may be invalid. Always check both before buying.

    What happens if I drive without valid MOT?

    Driving without a valid MOT is illegal. You could face a fine of up to £1,000, and if you're in an accident, your insurance won't pay out.

    Can a car be taxed without MOT?

    Generally no. To tax a vehicle, it usually needs a valid MOT (unless exempt). If buying a car, both should be current or factored into the price.

    How do I know when MOT and tax expire?

    Enter the registration above for instant results. We'll show both expiry dates clearly, plus full MOT history and tax band information.
