How it works

1

Enter your reg plate

Create a free account and add your registration to your Garage. That's the only thing you type.

2

We look everything up

MOT expiry and history from the DVSA, tax status and due date from the DVLA — automatically, from official records.

3

Get reminded in time

An email lands before your MOT or tax is due (14 days by default), so you book the test on your terms — not the fine's.

More than a reminder

Your free Garage also tracks insurance renewal dates, logs your fill-ups with cost-per-mile stats, and connects to the UK's live fuel price map — so the same account that saves you a £1,000 fine also finds you the cheapest petrol near you every week.

Got more than one car in the household? Premium covers up to 10 vehicles with custom reminder timing — £1.99/month, cancel anytime.

MOT & tax reminder FAQs

How do I find out when my MOT is due?

Add your registration plate to your free Garage and we look up your MOT expiry date instantly from official DVSA records — along with your tax due date from the DVLA. You'll then get an email reminder before either is due.

Is the MOT reminder service really free?

Yes. One vehicle with MOT, tax and insurance reminders is free forever — no card required. Premium (£1.99/month) covers up to 10 vehicles with custom reminder timing, for households with more than one car.

What happens if I miss my MOT?

Driving without a valid MOT carries a fine of up to £1,000 (up to £2,500 and penalty points if the vehicle is judged dangerous), and it can invalidate your insurance. You also can't renew road tax without a valid MOT.

What happens if my car tax runs out?

DVLA cameras and ANPR flag untaxed vehicles automatically. You face an £80 out-of-court settlement letter rising to a fine of up to £1,000, and the vehicle can be clamped or impounded.

Where does the MOT and tax data come from?

Directly from official sources: the DVSA MOT history service for MOT status and expiry, and the DVLA vehicle enquiry service for tax status. We look both up automatically from your registration plate — nothing to type in manually.

When is a car first due an MOT?

Three years after first registration (four years in Northern Ireland), and every 12 months after that. Your first MOT is due on the third anniversary of the registration date, which we look up for you automatically.
