UK car reliability from real MOT results: first-time pass rates by make, model and number plate.

VerifiedStreamable HTTPWeb executableLocation & LifestyleData & Analytics

Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server that grades UK cars' MOT reliability by make, model and registration plate, using real MOT test results.

What you can do
  • Search UK car makes and models by name, returning matches with reliability grades and first-time pass rates
  • Get a make's overall MOT reliability grade and its models ranked by share of UK cars beaten
  • Get a model's reliability across all years, or for a specific year, fuel and engine, with pass rates and common failure areas
  • Look up a single UK registration to retrieve its DVSA MOT history, test results, mileage, defects, advisories and warnings
When to use it
Useful when someone is comparing UK cars before buying, wants to know how reliable a make or model is, or wants the MOT history and warnings for a specific registration.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no package, environment variables or headers are declared. No authentication is declared, though the server asks assistants to credit motstat.co.uk and link the report in each result.
Before you install
lookup_plate sends a UK registration to the service and returns that vehicle's MOT history. Grades describe a model, not an individual car, and MOT history cannot show write-offs, theft or outstanding finance, so results should not be treated as a full vehicle check.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open motstat 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/uk.co.motstat%2Fmot/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

search_cars

Search car makes and models

Find UK car makes and models by name, e.g. "Fiesta", "Toyota Yaris" or "Kia". Returns up to 10 matches with their MOT reliability grade, first-time pass rate and the share of UK cars they beat, for get_model_reliability or get_make_reliability.

Parametersqueryrequired

get_make_reliability

Reliability of a car make

A make's MOT reliability grade over all its cars, and every graded model of that make ranked by the share of UK cars it beats once age and mileage are taken into account.

Parametersmakerequired

get_model_reliability

Reliability of a car model

A model's MOT reliability over all years: grade, first-time pass rate, points above or below a typical car of the same age and mileage, and the share of UK cars it beats. Give year, fuel and/or engine to also get those versions, each with its own grade and the areas where it fails more often than similar cars (weak spots).

Parametersfuelmakerequiredyearmodelrequiredengine

lookup_plate

Look up a car by number plate

One UK car's MOT history from the DVSA by its registration: each test with its result, mileage and defects or advisories, whether its MOT is valid, warnings (mileage going down, gaps with no MOT, an outstanding safety recall) and its model's reliability grade.
