countryman 13 Posted October 9, 2015 So, one of the few things that was vaguely useful about the Government's computerisation of the MOT system is now unavailable!https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history-vehicleI don't know about anybody else, but I used this facility ALL the time...Does anybody have any knowledge of when this 'new service' might be available?

russp 10 Posted October 9, 2015 How crazy!I used this so often not only to see any potential issues but also to get a feel for the mileage history.It makes no sense whatsoever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 164 Posted October 9, 2015 Isn't it just temporarily down? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jack Regan 116 Posted October 9, 2015 Was handy with choppers, when you get the " its got a long mot I couldn't find it this morning , the Mrs will know where it is I will drop it in to you " you do a check and well bugger me its ran out or only got a couple of weeks left.... Then the shock on the punters face when you check it in front of em . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rory RSC 596 Posted October 9, 2015 you can still do that one. It's the mileage checking one which shows pass/fail history of all previous MOTs that's currently offline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's me 615 Posted October 9, 2015 you can still check mot via the tax online site for p/x etc cars prior to doing the dealive no idea when the history check will be back online but i spent an hour trying to get through to vosa bristol monday morning and the system either kept kicking me out or once i got through i got kicked of the system again,im not sure if anyone is aware but vosa ok dvsa haven't been taking staff on for a few years now and if you go into their facebook page (or matters of testing) they are now desperate for qualified testers, but be aware before you apply their new contract of employment allows them to use you in any hour in the 24 hour clocki would advise that once the system comes back online you do a history check and keep a record before log book goes to swansea, this way if you ever need this information in a small claims court you would have it at your disposal and not be dependent on the claimant furnishing it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil H 124 Posted October 9, 2015 it's probably got something to do with merging it with the cock up of the new mot software that caused all the crashes recently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
