This page gives you a sample of what the Motochek queries look like.

Query results

Results from immediate queries are shown on your screen a few seconds after your query has been submitted. Data returned in query results is dependant on your level of access (authorised or standard).

To perform an immediate query, a query option must be selected, and a plate or vehicle identification number (VIN) entered to allow your request to be processed.

Once your request has been processed, your results will be returned.

Standard users

  • Where the registered person of the vehicle is an individual, the name and address details are suppressed and will not be returned in the query results.

  • If the registered person of the vehicle is a company, then company name and address will be returned.

Authorised users

  • Where the registered person of the vehicle is an individual, the name and address details will be returned in the query results, except where the individual has opted out – in this instance data returned is as per the standard query results.

  • If the registered person of the vehicle is a company, then company name and address will be returned.
