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.

Need to know
Tests a little late
4 tests were late; the longest was 24 days late: the certificate ran out on 4 December 2024 and the next test was 28 December. Under a month, so no warning.
Above the average for similar cars
Scores 94 against an average of 65 for the 3,241 cars of this make, model family and year we have scored.
5 years' mileage out of step
All 11 odometer readings run forward; 5 years' mileage sit well above or below the others. Not a backward step, so no warning.
A small gap in the record
About 3 months of this car's testable life aren't covered by a test. Too little to move the score by more than a point.
Taxed
DVLA records this car's tax status as Taxed.
The last test was not clean
The 19 December 2025 test recorded 2 advisories, so there is no current clean run. The longest clean run on record is 6 tests.
Not checked
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.
No structural defect recorded
None of the 11 tests recorded a structural defect: corrosion or damage to a part the car's strength depends on.
No sign of an import
Nothing in the DVLA record suggests an import. Its registration is a normal age-related plate, not a Q-plate.

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.
ClickMechanicWhen you're ready to buy
Purchase-enabling services. The buyer has assessed the car and is moving toward a decision.
Breakdown Cover
Private used cars don't come with a warranty. Cover for the journey home at minimum.

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.
