Roadworthy is the free UK vehicle portal that turns official DVSA MOT and DVLA data into a complete ownership toolkit, from instant vehicle checks and cohort pass-rate comparisons to predictive failure risk, journey cost planning, and Clean Air Zone charge avoidance. Check any registration, compare your car against over 130 million test results, and keep every vehicle you own healthy, legal, and cheap to run.
Search any UK registration to see its full DVSA MOT history, mileage trends, current tax status, and DVLA specifications in under a second, free, with no sign-up required.
See how your car's MOT pass rate stacks up against thousands of identical make, model, and first-use-year vehicles, distilled from over 130 million anonymised DVSA test results, a comparison no other consumer app offers.
A component-level forecaster turns open advisories into projected failure odds (brakes, tyres, suspension, or structure), telling you which parts are statistically likely to fail before your next test.
Every car gets a transparent 0–100 health score weighting MOT validity, failure history, advisory density, and mileage discrepancy detection for rollback risks.
Check whether your vehicle is exempt or faces daily charges across London ULEZ, Birmingham, Bristol, Sheffield, Newcastle, and Bath, using official zone boundaries.
Live forecourt petrol, diesel, and premium prices from supermarkets and fuel majors, ranked cheapest-first within any radius of your location.
Find slow, fast, rapid, and ultra-rapid chargers with live tariff and connector filters (CCS2, CHAdeMO, Type 2, Tesla) so long journeys stay billed to the penny.
Plan any UK drive and get real fuel or rapid-charging costs per mile, ISO-cost parity and breakeven pricing, plus every Clean Air Zone the route crosses with its daily charge folded into the estimate.
Explore nationwide MOT reliability by vehicle age, mileage band, fuel type, and engine size, including the most-tested models and common failure components.
Pin multiple vehicles into one digital garage and compare them side-by-side on health score, pass rate, mileage, and annual running costs.
Estimate fuel, road tax, MOT, and service spending per year based on real recorded mileage, then track actuals against the estimate.
Log every service, MOT and repair directly on each car — date, mileage, garage and line-item costs by category (Suspension, Tyres, Brakes, Engine, Fluids & Filters, Service & MOT and more) — and see spend over time and by category, synced across devices when signed in.
Schedule oil changes, tyres, insurance, and tax reminders that sync to your calendar as .ics exports, and share a public report of any vehicle in your fleet.
Save vehicles, set reminders, and build your garage in seconds. No payment required to get started.
Save vehicles to your personal garage and track MOT history, mileage trends, and tax status across your whole fleet, on any device.
Get automatic reminders before your MOT expires or VED is due, with optional live watchdog alerts the moment a result is logged.
Registered accounts get 20 free vehicle checks per day. Upgrade to Pro for 100 lookups, journey planning, and priority support.

View Product Changelog →The failure rates and component insights across this site are calculated from over 130 million anonymised DVSA MOT test results. This is how we keep the maths honest, and why our figures beat a simple national average.
We never compare your car to a national average of every car ever tested. Instead, every comparison is made against its exact cohort (the same make, model and first-registration year). Same-model comparisons are the only fair way to judge whether one particular car is doing better or worse than it should.
A statistic is only meaningful if it has enough cars behind it. Each cohort is built from thousands of pooled tests with a minimum sample size, and our figures are weighted by that sample, so a handful of noisy results can't skew the picture of an entire model.
Beyond an overall pass rate, we dig down to the component level (brakes, tyres, suspension, lights, exhaust and more), and even narrower sub-components like brake pads or hoses. We track how often each part fails, plus the typical mileage before an advisory turns into a real failure.
By matching the same vehicles' records year after year, we can measure how long a warning usually lasts before it becomes a failure. That longitudinal picture powers our predictive risk tool, which tells you which advisories are statistically most likely to fail by your next MOT.
The same statistics do the heavy lifting inside the garage. When you save a car, Roadworthy matches it to its cohort and grades its pass rate against identical models, then classifies its open advisories onto our part-level statistics to forecast which components are most likely to fail at the next test, complete with the average mileage left before they do.
