Use of the site

The service is provided on an “as-is” basis. You must not rely on it as a substitute for advice from a qualified MOT tester or vehicle technician for your specific vehicle.

We are not affiliated with the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), the Department for Transport, or any other UK Government department. References to the DVSA MOT Inspection Manual are factual citations under the Open Government Licence v3.0; nothing on this site should be read as endorsement by DVSA or HM Government.

We do not warrant that the information is complete, accurate, or up to date at any given time (the manual is revised annually, typically in May). To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all liability for loss or damage arising from your reliance on the information presented.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under the law of England and Wales, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence and for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
