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.
3 late tests; the longest lapse was about 4 months with no MOT certificate, before the 12 August 2025 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.
The average Bonafied score for a 2016 AUDI TT is 70 (based on 24 cars). This one is above average.
All 9 odometer readings run forward; one year's mileage sits well above or below the others. Not a backward step, so no warning.
This car has been due an MOT for 8 years, and about 5 months of that aren't covered by a test. The 12 August 2025 test came 16 months after the one before it, which accounts for about 4 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 6 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 9 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.
