Vehicle History Check
A history check covers what MOT data doesn't: outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, theft markers, scrap records. Worth doing before you commit.

Download the score card and add it to your listing photos. Buyers see at a glance you've checked the MOT history.
2 late tests; the longest lapse was 82 days with no MOT certificate, before the 8 April 2021 test. Ask the seller why. A car kept off the road under a SORN needs no MOT, so a gap can have an innocent explanation.
Fewer than five cars of this make, model family and year have been scored, so there is no average to compare against.
All 10 odometer readings on this vehicle's MOT record show consistent forward progression. Average usage works out at 357 miles per year. No mileage anomalies detected in the digital record.
This car has been due an MOT for 10 years, and about 4 months of that aren't covered by a test. The 8 April 2021 test came 15 months after the one before it, which accounts for about 3 of those months. The rest isn't hidden, it's just not in the digital record: paper history from before May 2005, time spent off the road, or years abroad before the car came to the UK. We can't tell which, and we don't guess. So the score is pulled toward the middle of the scale. It cuts both ways: a partial record can't reach the top, and it can't reach the bottom either. If the missing time matters to you, ask the seller what they know about it.
DVLA records this car's tax status as Taxed.
This vehicle's last 10 MOTs have all been clean: passed without failures, advisories, or noted defects. A current run of consistent clean tests is one of the strongest positive signals available in MOT data.
We do not check the write-off register. This lamp lights only when a listing we have seen declared the car as a Cat S, N, C or D. An HPI check covers the register and the rest of the history that MOT data does not.
None of the 10 tests recorded a structural defect: corrosion or damage to a part the car's strength depends on.
DVLA records the car's first UK registration within two years of its manufacture, so nothing suggests an import. Its registration is a normal age-related plate, not a Q-plate.
Average 357 miles per year.

VCheckAn MOT is pass or fail. A pre-purchase inspection is a mechanic's eyes on brakes, wear, leaks and recent repairs. Especially worth it if you can't see the car in person.
