KnowYourCar

This app is essential for multi car owners. It advises when an MoT is due, shows when tax is about to expire and it even notifies you of the results of an MoT test. It also provides a link to the motor insurers dadabase to enable you to check the insurance status of your car. This might not sound important but a friend checked his insurance online and found that he wasn’t insured. He had been scammed. The free version is good for most people but for me, with a larger collection of cars and bikes, a one-off payment of £4.99 is a bargain.

Excellent you can now add day for insurance A+. I have recommended this app to friends and family. I liked it more when I found out it automatically changed the date for my mot when I put it in this year, and I knew before the garage told me. But it still could be improved by the list of things it shows as advisories or a list of things that it failed on before. Could be ticked off to say it’s been fixed and the actual percentage of pass or fail be more accurate. As it looks like on mine it’s only 50% but I had all the work done and it passed straight away. So not accurate at all. Other than that. Great app and will still keep passing that on.

This app tells you most of the important things you need to know about your vehicle/s or any other vehicles not owned by you. ie. mot, tax due, mot detailed history and for a small fee other details such as tyre pressure and oil grade for your car etc. You can also check if the vehicle has insurance. It’s a fairly user friendly app and navigating around it isn’t too bad. Once logged in you can store your car / cars in it and will remind you when mot/ tax are due. It can be used across all your devices. My only criticism is that it’s a bit slow to load compared with other similar apps.
