Never miss an MOT expiry again
Automated MOT tracking with DVLA and DVSA integration. Full test history, advisory monitoring, and configurable alerts for every vehicle in your fleet.
Manual MOT tracking is a liability
A single vehicle operating without a valid MOT invalidates its insurance. If that vehicle is involved in an incident, the operator faces personal liability, potential prosecution, and a void insurance claim. The financial and legal exposure is severe.
Manual tracking cannot check itself. It relies on someone remembering to update the date after each test, someone noticing when a date is approaching, and someone actually booking the test in time. Each step is a failure point.
For fleets above 10 vehicles, manual MOT tracking consumes hours of admin time every month. Time spent cross-referencing dates on gov.uk, chasing workshops for bookings, and fielding audit queries about compliance evidence.

Frequently asked questions
How does Kedra get MOT data?
Kedra integrates directly with the DVLA Vehicle Enquiry Service and the DVSA MOT History API. When you add a vehicle by registration, we pull current MOT status, expiry date, full test history, advisories, and odometer readings automatically.
How often is MOT data refreshed?
An automated weekly cron job refreshes DVLA data for your entire fleet every Monday. You can also trigger a manual sync for any vehicle at any time from the vehicle detail page.
Can I see MOT advisories and failure reasons?
Yes. Kedra pulls the complete MOT test history from DVSA including every advisory, minor defect, major failure, and dangerous item. Advisories are tracked over time so you can see recurring issues across your fleet.
What about vehicles exempt from MOT?
Vehicles under 3 years old are automatically marked as MOT exempt. Kedra still tracks their first MOT due date based on the registration date so you are alerted when the exemption ends.
How far in advance do MOT alerts trigger?
Default alert windows are 30, 14, and 7 days before expiry. Critical notifications appear on your dashboard and in email digests. You can adjust these thresholds to suit your booking lead times.
Can I track MOT dates for a mixed fleet?
Kedra handles cars, vans, HGVs, and trailers. Each vehicle type has its own MOT requirements and Kedra tracks them accordingly. You can filter your compliance dashboard by vehicle type or group.
