Forgetting your MOT due date is easier than most drivers think. With busy schedules and no automatic reminders from the DVLA, it is no surprise that over 1.5 million vehicles on UK roads are estimated to be driving without a valid MOT certificate at any given time.

To help drivers stay on top of their MOT dates, we have launched a free MOT Due Checker tool that lets you instantly see when your MOT expires using official DVSA data.

How the MOT Due Checker Works

Using the tool is simple. Visit our MOT Due Checker page, enter your vehicle registration number, and get instant results showing:

• Your exact MOT expiry date

• Days remaining until your MOT is due

• Your vehicle make and model

• Last MOT test date and result

• Number of advisory notices from your last test

The tool pulls data directly from the DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) database, the same source used by the government's own MOT checking service. This means you get accurate, up-to-date information every time.

Why We Built This Tool

At Remindlo, we help garages send automated MOT reminders to their customers. But we realised that many drivers do not have a garage that sends them reminders. They rely on memory alone, and memory is not always reliable.

The consequences of forgetting can be serious. Driving without a valid MOT carries a fine of up to £1,000. Your car insurance may also be invalidated, leaving you personally liable for any accidents. And if your vehicle is found to have dangerous defects, you could face additional penalties.

We wanted to give every driver a quick and easy way to check their MOT status, whether or not they use a garage that sends reminders.

Set Up Free MOT Reminders

After checking your MOT date, you can sign up for a free email reminder. We will notify you two weeks before your MOT expires, giving you plenty of time to book your test without the last-minute rush.

This is especially useful if your MOT is still months away. Check your date now, set up the reminder, and forget about it until we send you a nudge.

For Garage Owners: A Tool Your Customers Will Love

If you run a garage or MOT testing station, feel free to share this tool with your customers. It adds value to your service and keeps MOT dates top of mind.

Better yet, consider setting up automated reminders for all your customers through Remindlo. Instead of hoping customers remember to come back, you can proactively remind them before their MOT is due. Garages using reminder systems typically see a 30-40% reduction in lost customers who forget to rebook.
