Failure Analysis

Just failed? See every defect from your latest MOT translated into plain English before you ring the garage. It stops at the translation though — no repair costs, no parts research, no labour times. For all of that, send our AI Agent (£4.99) to do real UK research per defect, with every price sourced and a raft of clarifying questions you can take to the garage.

How it works

On The Day Agent

1

Drop the car & start On The Day Agent

Enter the registration of the car being tested today and choose how you want the result — emailed to you, or rendered live on a page that updates itself. Takes about 30 seconds.

2

We watch the DVSA for you

We check the official DVSA MOT history database every 15 minutes, so once the tester submits the result On The Day Agent picks it up — pass or fail. No phoning the garage, no refreshing gov.uk.

3

Pass: you’re done. Fail: take it deeper.

If it passes, that’s it — job done. If it fails, the free Failure Analysis translates every defect into plain English, and the optional Failure Research AI Agent (£4.99) sends an autonomous AI agent to Deep-Research real UK repair prices for your exact vehicle.

Benefits of MOT AI

Know the result as soon as it lands

On The Day Agent checks the DVSA every 15 minutes and delivers your result as soon as it's published — by email or live on the page. No phoning the garage, no refreshing gov.uk. Hearing “it’s failed” from us instead of from the garage means you get to think before you’re asked to say yes.

See what the job is worth before you’re quoted

If it fails, the Failure Research AI Agent researches real UK part prices for your exact make, model and year, and gives a labour-time estimate for every defect. You get a number to compare the garage’s number against — before you agree to anything.

The same repair, three prices

Every paid report prices each job three ways: mobile mechanic (£25–£60/hr), independent garage (£50–£90/hr) and franchised dealer (£90–£180/hr). A four-hour job is £100 or £720 depending on who does it. If the quote in your hand is dealer money for an independent job, you’ll see it instantly.

Know enough to push back

Free Failure Analysis translates all 595 defect types in our database into plain English — what’s actually wrong, what a proper repair involves, and which parts it needs. Garages quote higher when they think you won’t ask. Walking in able to name the part and the job changes the conversation, and it costs nothing.

£4.99 against a bill in the hundreds

The Failure Research AI Agent is £4.99. The median defect in our database takes 1–4 hours to put right — £50–£360 in labour alone at an independent garage, more at a dealer, before a single part. Spending five pounds to find out what that job should cost is the cheapest decision in the whole process. One corrected quote pays for it seventy times over.

Is it a lemon? You don’t need to know cars to find out

You don’t have to understand suspension geometry to spot a bad car — you just have to read its record, and most people have never been shown how. The MOT History AI Agent does the reading for you: which faults keep coming back, which advisories were ignored for years, whether the mileage story adds up. Plain English, £1.49, before you hand over a deposit.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Everything you might want to know before you run your first check.

What is On The Day Agent?
On The Day Agent is our headline tool: a free live alert that checks the DVSA every 15 minutes and delivers your MOT result as soon as it's published — pass or fail. You can have it emailed, or have it land live on the page (the page updates itself, no refreshing needed). It's the only tool of its kind in the UK.
Do I need to give an email address to use On The Day Agent?
Only if you want the result emailed. The other option is to have the result render live on the page — the page updates itself when the result lands, so no email is needed and no refreshing is required.
Is there a limit on how many cars I can watch?
Yes — one new On The Day Agent per user per day. This keeps DVSA API usage fair, prevents bulk scraping, and means the service stays free. Each MOT typically takes hours so a single watch per day is what almost everyone needs. If you genuinely need to watch a fleet of vehicles, get in touch.
What happens after On The Day Agent tells me the result?
If it's a pass, that's it — job done. If it's a fail, you'll see two options: the free Failure Analysis (every defect translated into plain English) and the Failure Research AI Agent (£4.99 — an autonomous AI Agent that performs Deep Research on real UK part and labour prices for every defect, every figure cited). Both are clearly shown so you can pick what fits.
How is the AI Failure Analysis better than the free Failure Analysis?
The free version translates each defect into plain English. The Premium version sends an autonomous AI agent to perform Deep Research across UK parts catalogues, dealer sites and garage forums for your exact make, model and year — every part price sourced and cited, plus a labour-time estimate per defect that you multiply against the UK hourly-rate table at the top of the report. Plain English is useful; sourced prices are what you need to push back on an unfair garage quote.
Is everything else really free?
Yes. The full MOT history — every test result, mileage reading, advisory and defect — is completely free and needs no account, as is the plain-English Failure Analysis. The AI upgrades are optional pay-per-report add-ons (£1.49 and £4.99) with no subscription.
Where does the data come from?
Straight from the official DVSA MOT history service — the same government records a garage or the DVSA itself would use. We don’t guess or estimate the test data.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Enter a registration and you get the result straight away. You only ever give an email address if you want On The Day Agent to email you the result or want a report sent to your inbox.
Which vehicles are covered?
Any vehicle on UK roads with an MOT history — cars, vans and motorcycles. Very new vehicles that haven’t had their first MOT yet won’t have a history to show.
I run a garage — can I use this for my customers?
Yes. Forecourt Edition emails your customer their result the moment the DVSA publishes it, branded as your garage — your name, logo and colours, pass or fail, with the full defect list. It stops your team reading results down the phone and cuts the “is it ready yet?” calls. Start free with a QR poster for your counter, or put your own name on every email from £24.99 a month.
