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
Late MOT tests
10 late tests; the longest lapse was about 5 months with no MOT certificate, before the 7 June 2012 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.
Above the average for similar cars
Scores 94 against an average of 58 for the 994 cars of this make, model family and year we have scored.
2 years' mileage out of step
All 22 odometer readings run forward; 2 years' mileage sit well above or below the others. Not a backward step, so no warning.
How much of this car's MOT history we can see
This car has been due an MOT for 19 years, and about 16 months of that aren't covered by a test. The 7 June 2012 test came 17 months after the one before it, which accounts for about 5 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.
Taxed
DVLA records this car's tax status as Taxed.
Currently on a clean run
This vehicle's last 5 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.
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 22 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.

Average 3,031 miles per year.

Before you commit

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.
