Its easy to see if the phone is blocked. Just put a sim card in it and if blocked you will get a message like "invalid mobile" or something different, and you will be unable to make (non emergency) calls.

Having found my moto V3 barred recently (but now replaced with a new one by the supplier) I have researched this quite a bit and am quite sure there is no publicly available access to the UK barring list
the networks do have access and indeed to confirm my V3 was barred I called up vodafone and gave them the IMEI and they looked it up.
the result of putting a sim card ino the phone varies depending on carrier:
Orange & O2:
If you place an active orange or O2 sim into a blacklisted handset you phone will not show any signal strength at all! If the handset is a okia then a "SIM card registration failed" message will also be displayed. If your handset is an Ericsson then an "Invalid Mobile" message will be displayed. For most other manufacturers the handset will simply show no signal!
Vodafone & T-Mobile
If you place an active Vodafone or T-Mobile sim into a blacklisted handset, the phone will appear to function perfectly UNTIL you try to make an outgoing call. When you try to call out from the handset you will hear a sequence of beeps and then the call will be dropped!!
