About

Built for everyday UK drivers

MotorTools is a practical site for people who want clear car information without dealer waffle — specs, common faults, ownership tips, DIY guides and simple calculators.

What we publish

Model pages cover popular UK cars with variants, rough ownership notes and links to official handbooks where we can. Guides walk through jobs like oil changes and tyre swaps. Tools help with fuel cost, road tax estimates, tyre pressures and running-cost planning.

We are not a garage, insurer, DVSA service or manufacturer. Figures vary by trim, year and condition — always check the V5C, handbook and GOV.UK for decisions that matter.

How we work

Content is written and reviewed with UK drivers in mind. Photos and third-party videos are credited to their sources. Manufacturer logos and marks belong to their owners.

MOT history lookup may return later once official API access is approved. Until then, use the GOV.UK MOT history service for live results.
