metcars 397 Posted October 6, 2016 So, lady across the road has blown the H/G in her Corsa. It's been parked up outside her house for a couple of weeks. I ran the usual checks and its "uninsured", Tried to check the tax and it says "VEHICLE DETAILS COULD NOT BE FOUND", so I'm guessing its SORN'd. But the MOT history has disappeared and I get the message "No vehicle that matched the data you entered could be found". Am I doing something wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

solorider 1 Posted September 21, 2018 I hope I am not hijacking this old thread but landed here when I was googling MOT history check online. Link to below GOV website where you can check MOT history and its free https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history another website (link below) offers detail free car history check. I am not promoting but its genuinely free no credit cards or personal details asked all the best to all used car buys out there https://caranalytics.co.uk/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marc 6 Posted September 21, 2018 I was/kind of still am interested in a vehicle that is throwing up odd results in valuation queries. MOT history works fine, eurocarparts recognize the car but not all motor factors . 'Cant identify car from registration ' Anyone think of a reason why? It's a Ford focus reg sj60gfk.

Casper 272 Posted September 2, 2019 It does that when the certificate of destruction is issued normally especially on the tax . Sometimes the mot history still works sometimes not ..

Even when a vehicle has a SORN it usually shows up saying it's SORN when you reg check it, what's the vehicles registration (if you don't mind sharing it?) - I often do vehicle checks with https://www.rapidcarcheck.co.uk and they offer support even if you’re not a customer.

David Horgan 564 Posted January 7, 2020 1 hour ago, Maisie Williams said: There are a lot of advisories that need to be considered and checked before buying a used car, getting an MOT check is easy, you can either get it from the government or from this website that i found while searching for MOT History, "CarDotCheck", they offer detailed and easy to understand free car history checks. Its totally free and they don't ask for personal details at all. P.S. Not at all promoting, i am a car enthusiast and well (who doesn't love free stuff?) Link:https://cardotcheck.co.uk We have systems far in front and far more detailed than info from this site Masie Williams . You have come to a traders site so its parts of our far more detailed check to have systems more professional than a free site . We need to perform detailed checks because doggy people try to off load rubbish cars onto us px thinking we wont know , but we do . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Privates cant use the info we have Masie its trade only . I have never hated anyone in my life either , if the truth is called hate so be it in your world , but not mine . We as traders use sites far more detailed than the one your talking about , that's the truth , no hate in that comment , I'm just putting a professional view to your findings of a very simple check site that's no more than a glorified MOT history check that,s just trying to lure privates into paying for the detail . Everyone to their own though . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wilma 0 Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) Sorn will still display on .giv site and display as sorn. It can take a few days for .gov to update. Number of causes for this and the most obvious is plate transfer, as mentioned. Scrapped is another possibility. You should test the vrm in other sites like these. Some APIs take a while to update and it might flag something https://hpi.co.uk https://www.carveto.co.uk https://mycarcheck.com Edited March 19, 2020 by Wilma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
