Affiliate disclosure

How we fund this site

motdata.uk is a free resource. We do not charge users to access MOT data, vehicle statistics, or guides. To keep the site running, we earn revenue through affiliate partnerships and may in future display advertisements.

What are affiliate links?

Some links on this site are affiliate links. This means that if you click on one and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may receive a small commission from the provider. This comes at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the provider.

Which services?

We link to the following services on this site. Where we have an active affiliate partnership, we earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Some partnerships are pending approval.

How we choose partners

We only work with established, reputable UK companies. Before adding any affiliate programme, we check the company's Trustpilot rating, FCA registration (where applicable), and general reputation. We do not accept every programme offered to us. only services we believe are genuinely useful to someone buying, maintaining, or insuring a vehicle.

Affiliate links are placed contextually. For example, tyre suppliers only appear on pages where tyre data is relevant, and breakdown cover links appear where MOT data shows a model has a low pass rate. We do not use pop-ups, interstitials, or banner ads.

Our editorial independence

Affiliate partnerships do not influence our data, rankings, or editorial content. The MOT pass rates, failure statistics, and vehicle data on this site come directly from DVSA government datasets and are processed using the same methodology for every vehicle, regardless of whether we have an affiliate relationship with a related service.

We will never:

• Alter data or rankings to benefit an affiliate partner
• Recommend a service solely because it pays a higher commission
• Hide relevant information to push users towards affiliate links

How to identify affiliate links

Pages that contain affiliate links will include a disclosure notice. Affiliate links may also be identified by tracking parameters in the URL. If you prefer not to use affiliate links, you can navigate directly to any service provider's website.

Advertising Standards

We comply with the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) and the Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) codes regarding the disclosure of affiliate relationships and commercial content.
