MOT result, advisories etc. Help needed to find the information

[Accy cyclist]

If you go to this website https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/ and enter the registration you can see all the details.

The first car has passed all MOTs first time with no advisories.

The second car has a couple of fails for things like a corroded spring, shock leaking oil, faulty headlights and wipers.

I think I might've sussed it. I saw a bit that said I had to type in a car's serial number to proceed. Obviously I wouldn't know random cars serial numbers so I gave up.

Car passed its MOT last week. 16 plate with 66,000 miles on the clock. Only done 5000 since test when I got it.
I'd sorted last year's advisory beforehand; ns track rod boot split. Garage quoted 90 squids to fix it.
I bought the part for £19 and a mate fitted it in exchange for cake & a lift to a hospital appointment in Kettering next Tuesday.. 👍

You don’t need any serial number, only the registration number.

Go to https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/ which looks like this:


Type in the relevant reg number and click continue.

You’ll then see this page:



See that bit I’ve circled in red? Click ‘show’ and you’ll be given the MOT history, like this:



No serial numbers asked for!

I don't think Accy's footman has a computer.

It does look a good car. Aygo’s are pretty basic but that’s not a bad thing, so much less to understand and go wrong, great Toyota reliability too.

Unfortunately it looks like the Aygo doesn't have rear parking sensors, so I'll give it a miss.🙄

Why would you need parking sensors on a 3 foot long car?

I'd even need them on a Smart Car, due to a lack of width and depth perception due to having only one working eye.👁

Ah, my apologies Accy, I didn't realise and wouldn't have taken the Trump if id known. Mrs D is exactly the same, blind in her NS eye.

No need to apologise Drago, no one knows till I tell them.😉 It's one of those 'not all disabilities are visible' moments. Having only monocular vision means judging how far I am off/from cars is quite difficult to judge sometimes, hence the shorter, narrower the car is the easier it is to judge how far I am off that certain vehicle.😉

Or have some fitted if necessary?

How much would that cost though?

The 'aftermarket' ones are woeful compared to original equipment!

Then they'd have to be fitted and stuff. Not worth the hassle I'd say.🤔

Stick a fresno lens in the back window.

I've seen them from £12 to £45 plus fitting if you can't do it yourself
