How to Add MOT History in Seconds – But Should You Display It?

"Cognition hooks up directly to the DVSA now, so you can literally just press a button and retrieve the vehicle MOT history and its expiry date if you want to."

"So there's always going to be two sides to this. On the one hand, visitors are going to go off to the DVSA anyway to get the MOT history, so keeping them on your website has got to be an advantage. On the other side, the history may not be entirely positive, but with Cognition, you are always in control of what you then show on the front end."

"An increasing number do, especially those that are doing a really strong eCommerce strategy where they're kind of embracing transparency. We've got other dealers who prefer not to show it up front, but like to have the information within their system so that they can look at their stock and understand how it's working. And then, of course, we've got the expiry date now that does tend to get used less on the front end of the website because most dealers tend to give a new MOT when a vehicle sells."
