# Motorwise

> Free UK vehicle reports, MOT history comparison, driver tools and vehicle guides. Registration lookups use DVSA MOT history and DVLA vehicle data; Motorwise adds charts, summaries and calculated estimates.

Motorwise is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by DVSA, DVLA or GOV.UK. The reports, tools and articles listed here require no account or payment.

MOT records describe recorded tests, not a vehicle's current condition. Mileage flags do not prove fraud. Fuel costs, emissions estimates and zone guidance need the qualifications in the service guide. Vehicle responses are cached, browser storage retains some results, and server logs can contain searched registrations.

## Vehicle reports

- [Check a vehicle](https://motorwise.io/): Enter a registration for MOT history, tax status, mileage charts, model-level MOT Insights, Systems Health and estimated running-cost and emissions information. Open Comparison within a report to compare it with other vehicles.
- [Service guide](https://motorwise.io/llms-full.txt): What each report section and tool provides, how to interpret results, data handling and limitations.
- [Help Centre](https://motorwise.io/faq/): Help using Motorwise and understanding vehicle records.

## Driver tools

- [MOT Checker](https://motorwise.io/tools/html/mot-checker.html): MOT records and expiry information. If the lookup fails, the tool may display a plate-age estimate; that estimate cannot confirm a valid MOT.
- [ULEZ Checker](https://motorwise.io/tools/html/ulez-checker.html): Estimated zone compliance using DVLA vehicle details, with plate-age fallback, illustrative zone maps and a cost calculator. Confirm with the zone operator before travelling.
- [MOT Station Finder](https://motorwise.io/tools/html/mot-station-finder.html): Search a stored station directory by name, town, postcode or nearby location; view contact details and test-class filters.
- [MPG Calculator](https://motorwise.io/tools/html/mpg-calculator.html): Journey and annual fuel costs, fuel needed, fill-up MPG, unit conversions and car comparisons. Uses entered values or estimates, not a live fuel-price feed.
- [Number Plate Decoder](https://motorwise.io/tools/html/number-plate-decoder.html): Decode the area and age identifiers in modern GB-format plates. Does not retrieve a vehicle's history or location.
- [Car Age Checker](https://motorwise.io/tools/html/car-age-checker.html): Estimate age from a modern plate's registration period, not an exact DVLA registration date.
- [Tyre Size Comparison](https://motorwise.io/tools/html/tyre-size-comparison.html): Compare tyre dimensions and theoretical speedometer, ride-height and gearing changes. Does not confirm that a size is suitable for a vehicle.

## Articles
