Has this car been clocked?

Enter a UK registration and get an instant answer from its real DVSA MOT mileage history: has the odometer reading ever dropped between tests. The headline answer, the last recorded mileage and the MOT test count are free with no account. A free account unlocks the full mileage timeline showing exactly where any anomaly occurred.

How the check works

It reads the mileage recorded at every MOT test in the DVSA MOT History service and flags any reading that drops from the one before it, which is the clearest sign of an odometer being wound back or a genuine unit mix-up (miles recorded as kilometres, or vice versa).

What counts as a red flag, and what does not

A drop between two consecutive tests is the one pattern with no innocent explanation beyond a simple recording slip, and even that should show up as an isolated one-off rather than a pattern. A mileage that barely moves for several years then jumps is a softer signal worth asking about directly (a car taken off the road, or a genuine change of use), not proof on its own. Compare either against the model's own typical annual mileage on its MOT pass rate page to see whether the number in front of you is unusual for that car, not just unusual in the abstract.
