Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant look up real UK MOT failure data by car model and mileage, aggregated from official DfT test results.

What you can do
This remote MCP server exposes UK MOT (Ministry of Transport) vehicle test failure data, broken down by car model and mileage. The data is aggregated from official Department for Transport test results. It is a read-only reference source: an assistant can query failure information for a given model or mileage band rather than running tests or changing any records.
When to use it
Useful when someone is weighing a used-car purchase, comparing model reliability, or asking how likely a particular car is to fail its MOT at a given mileage. Add it when an assistant needs factual UK MOT failure statistics rather than general advice.
Requirements
Nothing to install locally: it is a remote streamable HTTP endpoint at whatbreaks.uk. No authentication, environment variables, or headers are declared, so only network access to that endpoint is needed.
Before you install
The server is read-only reference data, so no writes, payments, or credentials are involved. Because queries go to a third-party endpoint, the car models and mileage values you ask about are sent to that provider; avoid including unrelated personal details in queries.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Whatbreaks Mot in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.physics-star-cat%2Fwhatbreaks-mot/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

MOT reliability by model

Real UK MOT failure data for a used car: per-category failure rates (overall and at a given mileage) and the riskiest components with typical failure mileages. Use whenever a user is buying, comparing or maintaining a used car sold in the UK. Data is aggregated from official DfT MOT test results — real outcomes, not estimates. Responses carry a whatbreaks.uk attribution line.

75% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
