MOT - Why do you store my MOT data and send reminders?
🛠️ Why we check and show your MOT due date
Some of our contracts (especially with Local Authorities) require us to confirm that vehicles presented for parking have a valid MOT. To support this, we look up and store the publicly available MOT due date for vehicles you add to your account.
🔎 What we do
- When you add a vehicle to your JustPark account, we retrieve its MOT due date from public records.
- We store this date on your account and refresh it annually.
💡 Why you’ll see MOT reminders
Research we ran in Summer 2020 showed drivers strongly prefer timely visibility of their MOT due date — it removes the worry of remembering when the MOT is due.
Is your MOT date wrong? It happens occasionally. Please see how to report and fix it here: contact us (include your registration and correct due date).
🔐 About your data
- MOT status and due dates are public information in the UK.
- We use this information to meet contract requirements and to help you stay compliant.
