Free MOT, Tax & Insurance Reminders
Set up free email reminders so you never miss an MOT, road tax or insurance renewal. Enter a registration to pull the dates from DVLA records and add your insurance date.
What The Reminder Service Does
- MOT reminders - pulled automatically from the DVSA record
- Tax reminders - based on the DVLA renewal date
- Insurance reminders - using the renewal date you add
- Early warning - emails before each date so you have time to act
How Reminder Dates Are Set
The MOT and tax dates come from official vehicle records where they are available. The insurance date is added by you, because insurers do not publish a public renewal record by registration number.
Reminder emails are intended as a back-up prompt. It is still worth checking your own policy documents, MOT certificate and GOV.UK records if anything looks unusual.
What Could Happen If A Date Is Missed?
The exact outcome depends on the situation, but these are the common risks a reminder helps you avoid.
| Missed date | Possible consequence |
|---|---|
| MOT expires | The vehicle may be illegal to drive except in limited circumstances, such as going to a pre-booked MOT. |
| Tax expires | Keeping or using an untaxed vehicle on the road can lead to enforcement action. |
| Insurance lapses | Driving without valid insurance is illegal and can lead to serious penalties. |
