About MOTCost
MOTCost (motcost.co.uk) is operated by SaaSquatch Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales. By using this site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
Use of data
MOTCost publishes MOT statistics derived from the UK Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) public dataset. All figures are provided for general information only. Pass rates, failure frequencies, and cost estimates are historical averages — they do not predict the outcome of any specific vehicle's MOT test.
Data is refreshed periodically. We make no guarantee that figures are current at the time you read them. Each page carries an "Updated" date indicating when figures were last refreshed.
Not professional advice
Nothing on MOTCost constitutes mechanical, legal, financial, or insurance advice. Cost estimates are indicative only — actual repair costs vary by vehicle condition, location, garage, and parts availability. Always obtain a written quote from a qualified mechanic before authorising repairs.
MOTCost is not affiliated with the DVSA, the Home Office, VOSA, or any MOT test centre. No content on this site should be relied upon to determine roadworthiness or legal compliance.
Affiliate links and advertising
MOTCost is funded by affiliate revenue and advertising. Outbound links marked as affiliate links may earn us a commission if you make a purchase. The price you pay is unaffected. Affiliate relationships do not influence editorial content, rankings, or data.
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Ad content is served by Google and is subject to Google's own policies. We do not control the content of individual ads.
Intellectual property
The MOTCost brand, design, original written content, and data processing methodology are owned by SaaSquatch Ltd. The underlying DVSA MOT dataset is published under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
You may not reproduce, republish, or redistribute MOTCost's original written content or data compilations without prior written permission.
Accuracy and corrections
We take care to publish accurate figures but cannot guarantee that all data is free from error. If you spot something wrong, email [email protected] with the page URL. We will investigate and publish corrections promptly.
External links
MOTCost links to third-party websites including garages, retailers, and data sources. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of any external site. Links do not constitute endorsement.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by UK law, SaaSquatch Ltd accepts no liability for any loss or damage arising from reliance on information published on MOTCost. This includes, without limitation, decisions made about vehicle purchases, repair choices, or MOT preparation based on data from this site.
