While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

Thieves

All I wanted is to check my MOT and they charged me ( without consent) for a monthly subscription of £14.99… and there are no “ cancel” on the website! I have emailed them 4 times.
I am sure they offer competent service but I will never know because I would never use them and advise against that very much. Anyone that’s trick customers that way and sends them into a maze while taking money from them monthly! Not replying to their emails! Don’t deserve them.
I advise you to stay clear and find other places.

MOTcheck REFUND

I went onto motcheck.com because I wanted to see my vehicle's history. I was initially charged £0.50 for a 24hr trial. While I was waiting for the report to come through I noticed that an additional £14.99 had been taken from my account. The following day a further £7.99 was taken from my account.

Having now looked into it, £14.99 is for a subscription for access to 13 MOT records per month and £7.99 is for 5 MOT records per month. At no point did I knowingly sign up for those services.

I contacted the Barclays Bank fraud department and they suggested that I speak to the company before going down the scam/fraud route. I contacted the company and it would appear that there was an issue with their website and the money had been taken in error. I have just had £22.89 deposited into my account from MOTcheck.com. all's well that ends well. I suggest others who have fallen foul to this contact the company and make sure they unsubscribe (on their website) as soon as possible.

great free service

Let’s you check several cars a lot quicker then the GOV website. Just type in a new reg and boom, don’t have to ‘start over’. Which is great when you’re looking for a new car. Also you can bookmark a check to come back to it later.
