Data Sources & Attribution
Every report shows, per layer, whether it was generated from live data or a sample. Sources used by MOTCheck UK:
| Layer | Publisher | Licence |
|---|---|---|
| MOT test history, odometer readings, defects, recall flag | DVSA MOT History API | OGL v3 |
| Tax status, tax due date, V5C date | DVLA Vehicle Enquiry Service | OGL v3 |
| Mileage benchmarks & pass-rate benchmark | DfT National Travel Survey · DVSA MOT statistics | OGL v3 |
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. MOT history data is published by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA); vehicle tax and registration data by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). Mileage-anomaly flags, benchmarks and the buyer score are our own arithmetic on that data — not a DVSA or DVLA rating.
