Before you commit
The highest-stakes decisions before money changes hands.
Pre-Purchase Inspection
An 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.

GSF Car PartsDisclaimer
- Bonafied has assessed the MOT history of this vehicle only.
- This assessment is not a substitute for an independent full vehicle history check, physical inspection or professional mechanical appraisal.
- Declared write-offs (Categories A, B, S and N) are not checked at this stage; an independent history check is strongly recommended before purchase.
- Mileage consistency is assessed from MOT records only; odometer fraud cannot be ruled out without independent verification.
- Bonafied accepts no liability for the condition, fitness for purpose or accuracy of description of any vehicle.
- Bonafied cannot detect vehicle modifications. Standard and modified examples are assessed identically against MOT history data.
