Vehicle MOT Status

Before you start

This article delves into the MOT statuses available across different modules within Dsposal's Paperwork. MOT Statuses cannot be updated, modified, or changed.

What is an MOT Status?

An MOT (Ministry of Transport) Status refers to the current state of a vehicle's compliance with safety and environmental standards as determined by an MOT test. In the context of Dsposal's Paperwork, MOT Status serves as a crucial indicator of a vehicle's roadworthiness and adherence to legal requirements.

MOT Statuses are "Read Only", meaning they cannot be changed. These can be used within Paperwork but they are maintained by Dsposal.

MOT Status Values and What they Mean

In Dsposal's Paperwork, there are several MOT Status options, each conveying specific information about a vehicle's compliance. These options include:

  1. No Details Held by DVLA: This status indicates that the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) does not have any information regarding the MOT status of the vehicle. It may suggest that the vehicle is not registered with the DVLA or that its MOT information is not available in their database.

  2. No Results Returned: When this status is displayed, it signifies that no relevant results were found when attempting to retrieve the MOT status of the vehicle. This could occur due to technical issues, lack of connectivity, or discrepancies in the database.

  3. Not Valid: The "Not Valid" status implies that the vehicle's MOT has expired or been revoked, rendering it legally unfit for road use. Vehicles with this status may require immediate attention to rectify any issues and obtain a valid MOT certificate.

  4. Valid: A "Valid" MOT status indicates that the vehicle has successfully passed its MOT test and is deemed roadworthy according to the applicable safety and environmental standards. Vehicles with this status are compliant with legal requirements and can be legally driven on the road.
