CarHistory.cc turns DVSA's anonymised MOT data into first-time pass rates for 457 UK car models, broken down by first-use year and compared with the average for cars of the same age, so used-car buyers can see which model years do better or worse. The aggregated data is free to download as CSV and the methodology is published in full. A free MOT history check lets used-car buyers enter a UK number plate (not a VIN) to see every MOT since 2005, with mileage drops flagged. No account needed.

The age-adjusted pass-rate comparisons across 457 models make the data useful for shopping beyond a single vehicle history check, and publishing the CSV and methodology is a nice touch. A small label showing when the dataset was last refreshed would help buyers judge how current the figures are.

The model-year pass rates, same-age comparison and published methodology make this more transparent than a simple score list. I would surface quick filters and clarify what the free history check provides before users enter a registration.

From the listing, what works well is the use of public DVSA MOT data with a published methodology and free CSV download, which builds trust. One thing I would change: add a short note on how to read the comparison with same-age cars for non-technical buyers.

What works well: Comparing MOT pass rates by model and first-use year gives used-car buyers a useful way to explore reliability, and the downloadable CSV and published methodology add transparency. What I’d change: Show the sample size beside each rate, so readers can judge how much data supports each comparison.

Turning DVSA MOT data into pass rates by model and first-use year is genuinely useful, and comparing each model with cars of the same age is the right baseline. Publishing the CSV and the full methodology builds a lot of trust. One thing I'd change: show the sample size or a small confidence note next to each rate, so buyers don't over-read results for rare models or years with few tests.

Works well: the page is honest about its limits. The section on what an MOT history cannot show (finance, write-offs, stolen, plate changes) and the note that the registration never goes into the URL and is only kept for 15 minutes build a lot of trust. What I would change: the first-time pass rate comparison would be easier to judge with the number of tests behind each model next to the percentage, so buyers can tell a solid figure from a small sample.
