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
How much of this car's MOT history we can see
This car has been due an MOT for 20 years. We can account for 18 of them from the test record. The missing years aren't hidden, they're 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 years matter to you, ask the seller what they know about them.
Currently on a clean run
This vehicle's last 8 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.
What to check next
A record this clean is the strongest signal MOT data can give. What it can't tell you is the paperwork. That's what a history check is for.

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.

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.
