MOT Check
(http://www.motcheck.org.uk) 📸 Data Snapshot: May 22, 2026Count trust words (review, testimonial, rating, verified) against real outbound proof links (Google, Trustpilot, Clutch, G2, Yelp). Lots of trust language with zero verification links is trust theatre. Unlinked logo galleries count against it.
The site does not display reviews, resulting in a review_count of 0 and a false trust_theatre_flag. However, it makes several bold claims—such as providing a ‘full list of maximum MOT test costs’—without providing any proof links or valid external data paths. Every navigation link intended to act as a proof path for the site’s utility leads to an unverified hosting error.
Verifiable evidence is limited to three general facts on the homepage (20,000 stations, 3-year requirement, 30-60 minute test duration). The proof_links_count is 0 across the entire crawl, meaning no claims are backed by external DVSA or governmental sources. The ratio of unsubstantiated promises (Search, FAQ, Costs, Directory) to verifiable proof is extremely poor.
Trust & Proof is read by weighing trust language against real verification. Below is the page-by-page tally of review mentions and external proof links, then the schema markup that may (or may not) declare verifiable ratings and identity proof.
