A 31-marker blood, blood pressure and body composition check covering heart, liver, kidney and diabetes risk markers, plus a lung function check and ECG heart rhythm reading. Suits adults wanting a broad baseline health check.
11 biomarkers as listed by Bluecrest Wellness, of 31 in total.
The Active Health MOT covers 31 markers spanning heart disease and stroke risk, liver and kidney function, cholesterol, diabetes risk, essential proteins and iron, plus bone health, energy and muscle markers. It also includes blood pressure, a body composition analysis, a lung function check for COPD and an ECG to screen for irregular heart rhythm. Together these give a broad snapshot of cardiovascular, metabolic and organ health rather than a single narrow reading.
Within Bluecrest's own range, the Active Health MOT sits alongside the Advanced Biochemistry Profile, a 26-marker blood-only test at £90. The extra £89 buys the blood pressure check, body composition analysis, ECG and lung function test rather than more blood markers. Compared with other tests in the advanced health check group, such as Medichecks' 38-marker Essential Blood Test at £89 or London Medical Laboratory's 39-marker Well Person Premier Plus Profile at £119, the Active Health MOT has fewer blood markers for a higher price, though none of those peers include an ECG or lung function check in their marker count.
The test's overall score reflects this mix. It scores well for clarity, because the listing sets out the description, several markers, the turnaround and the sample type clearly, and very well on trust, thanks to Bluecrest's Trustpilot rating from thousands of reviews, its own accredited lab and CQC registration. It loses marks on value for money, since £179 is above the comparison group's median, and on collection convenience, because it needs a venous blood draw at a clinic with results taking around eight days. It also scores low on results and follow-up, as the report is not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
This suits adults who want a wide baseline health check that goes beyond a blood panel, particularly if you want the ECG and lung function screening alongside standard bloods, and are comfortable attending a clinic for a venous blood draw.
If you only want the blood markers and can do without the ECG, lung function and body composition elements, Bluecrest's own Advanced Biochemistry Profile covers 26 of the same areas for £90, and Medichecks' Essential Blood Test offers 38 markers for £89 elsewhere in this comparison group.
You attend a local Bluecrest venue for a venous blood draw, along with a blood pressure check, body composition analysis, an ECG and a lung function test. The sample is sent to Bluecrest's own laboratory, with results typically ready in three to eight days. The report is not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
At £179, the Active Health MOT combines a 31-marker blood panel with blood pressure, body composition, an ECG heart rhythm check and a lung function test for COPD. It costs more than several similarly sized panels in its comparison group, including Bluecrest's own 26-marker Advanced Biochemistry Profile at £90. The main caveat is that results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
The listing publishes a detailed description, some of the biomarkers by name, a stated turnaround, clear collection options, the sample type; it does not state what the report looks like.
