My car's official record looks wrong — can MotorMkt change it?

No. MotorMkt reports what the source databases hold; we cannot alter DVLA, DVSA or UKVD-supplied records. If a source record is wrong, it must be corrected at source (e.g. with the DVLA or the MOT testing station).

How do I report a mistake in a guide or on the site?

Check the actual vehicle

Checking a vehicle?

Enter its registration to check the official tax, MOT and mileage record free. If you need provenance for a purchase or ownership decision, add finance, stolen and write-off checks.

UK registration

Free: vehicle identity, tax/SORN, MOT history, mileage and buyer red flags.

Full history: adds outstanding finance, stolen, insurance write-off and other paid provenance checks.

The full report is optional. Review the free official record first if you are unsure. Payment is completed securely on the next screen.

Our commitment

We aim to report official vehicle data faithfully and to write guidance that is correct and current. Findings are deterministic rules over sourced data (see our methodology), and we clearly mark anything a source did not return.

What we can correct

Errors in our own content — a guide, a label, a calculation or a page — we can fix, and we update the last-modified date when we do. Report these via the support page.

What only the source can correct

A vehicle's official record (DVLA details, DVSA MOT history, or the finance/write-off/ stolen data supplied via UK Vehicle Data) can only be corrected at source. We do not hold or alter those registers. If you believe a source record is wrong, raise it with the relevant body — we can tell you exactly what we received to help.
