Never miss an MOT, tax or insurance date again

A missed MOT or lapsed road tax isn’t just paperwork — it’s fines, penalty points, and a vehicle you legally can’t drive. For a single car it’s annoying. Across a fleet, missed dates become real money and downtime.

The frustrating part is that all the information needed to prevent it already exists. It just isn’t in one place, and nothing reminds you in time.

The data is public — the reminders are the hard part

In the UK, a vehicle’s MOT history, tax status and key details are available from official government sources. The challenge isn’t access; it’s turning that data into something useful: organised per vehicle, kept current, and surfacing a reminder before a date passes — not after.

How CarFile handles it

CarFile, our flagship automotive platform, does exactly that:

• Scan a registration and CarFile pulls official DVLA/MOT data automatically.
• Reminders before MOT, tax and insurance are due — so a renewal never sneaks up on you.
• Expenses, fuel and service history tracked per vehicle, in one place.
• Works across iOS, Android and web, for individual drivers and fleet owners alike.

For fleets, it compounds

One forgotten date is a headache. Twenty vehicles with renewals scattered across the year is a full-time job. Bringing every vehicle’s status, history and upcoming dates into a single view is where the time (and money) is saved.

CarFile is live on the App Store and Google Play, rated 4.3 on Trustpilot. See it for yourself — or, if you run a fleet and want something tailored, get in touch.
