here is the site

now im using the document ref number from my v5 and my reg number

,,,,,

this is the error

 

Error: We are unable to process your request because the vehicle you searched for has no test that can be reported.

 

 

There are no reports on tests where:

 

the test did not have a valid result

the test is subject to an appeal

 

 

If you used a test number, please check that it came from a pass certificate or failure notice. You can also use the V5C document number. If you used a V5C document reference number, please make sure it’s from the most recent document you have.

when i search with a previous mot number with the same reg it shows the mot for it from that year

so basically is this saying my v5 isnt the most recent document because it should be?

You could always ring the garage where you had it mot'd they should be able to check with just your reg number
