Why monitor this register?
MOT records show whether a vehicle is road legal and when the next test is due. For fleet operators and private owners alike, an expired MOT creates immediate compliance risk.
Registry Radar tracks MOT status on Vehicle and Fleet Watches — sending renewal reminders before expiry and critical signals when a test has lapsed or failed.
