Hello from London — MOT data person

[motradar]

Hi all — Jack from London, new here.
I work with UK vehicle data and recently built a free MOT history checker called MotRadar — enter a reg and it shows past failures, advisories and mileage trend straight from DVSA data. Handy if you're eyeing up a used Z4 and want to see its history before viewing.
I joined because the buying and problems boards here are gold, and I'd like to learn what MOT testers tend to pick on for Z4s specifically. Happy to answer any MOT-data questions in return.

Why would I use this over the gov.uk history website?

Gov.uk works perfectly well thanks.
I assume you are joining all the forums and don’t actually have a Z4?

No MOT tester should be 'picking on' anything with any car. You should know that the MOT is a strict set of pre-defined 'roadworthiness' checks which are common to every car, no matter what make or model. There should be no discretion or opinions from the MOT tester.

OK, I'll ask. If you are providing this for free, what's in it for you? How do you generate revenue?
And I don't see any advantage of your check over the DVLA one, as it's the same data.
