MOT checker on Q plate?
Banana - 25/8/16 at 08:49 PM

Trying to find the mot history of a Q plated Locost on the GOV website.

I can see the Sorn status - but the mot history part doesn't work..
any ideas?

perhaps it doesn't need one yet.
what does it say for reg date?

For that to work, it relys on the mot tester inputting the make/model exactly as printed on the v5.
I can check my mot history by putting 'sylva', but to check sorn or retax i have to input 'sylva striker mk11' as the make because the dvla put the make and model as one on the v5 but has always been separated on the mot.
It does not affect taxing the vehicle, i have contacted the dvla about it but they did not correct it, so it is not majorly important unless the mot has a different vehicle under the make model.
