Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 2026
1. Introduction
CheckMOTPro.co.uk ("we", "our", or "us") is dedicated to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our website to verify UK vehicle MOT histories, road tax status, and related DVSA/DVLA open public data.
2. Data We Process
Vehicle Registration Marks (VRM): When you search a registration plate, the query is transmitted over secure TLS encryption to retrieve publicly accessible vehicle records from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) and Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). VRMs are not considered personal data under UK GDPR unless linked to identifiable individual ownership, which CheckMOTPro.co.uk neither collects nor stores.
Technical Logs: We may collect standard server logs (IP address, browser type, referral URL, and timestamps) solely for security, rate-limiting, and error diagnosis purposes.
3. Legal Basis & Open Government Licence
Vehicle MOT and tax information is retrieved under the terms of the UK Open Government Licence v3.0 (OGL v3.0) and provided as public information for consumer transparency and road safety.
4. Cookies & Advertising
We use cookies and third-party advertising partners (such as Google AdSense) to deliver relevant advertisements and support our free service. You may manage or withdraw your consent at any time via our Consent Management Platform (UniConsent) available at the bottom of every page.
5. Affiliate Disclosure
CheckMOTPro.co.uk may contain affiliate links to trusted UK automotive partners (e.g. car insurance comparison engines, car buying services). If you make a purchase or request a quote through these links, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.
6. Your Rights (UK GDPR)
Under the UK Data Protection Act 2018, you have the right to access, rectify, or request erasure of personal data held about you. To exercise these rights, please contact us at privacy@checkmotpro.co.uk.
