Before you commit

Check the details that matter.

A vehicle test and a company registration each answer a specific question. Use the official records alongside an inspection, the business’s terms and the right instructor checks.

Vehicle MOT history

Review previous results, defects and recorded mileage before selecting a first car, practice car or tuition vehicle. Arrange an independent condition check where needed.

  • Compare the registration and vehicle details with the car you are considering.
  • Read advisory items as well as failures, and ask for evidence of repairs.
  • A past MOT result describes the vehicle at the time of that test.

Company registration

Use the exact company number supplied by the business. Sole traders may have no company number. A company profile does not verify an ADI credential or a training offer.

  • Match the legal name to the name in your contract or invoice.
  • Check the company status and filing history on the official register.
  • Ask who is supplying the course and taking your payment.
