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
Tested on time
Every MOT on record came before the certificate before it ran out, and the first came by its due date, so the record shows no time without an MOT. The continuous record gives us more confidence in the data behind the score.
Above the average for similar cars
The average Bonafied score for a 2011 MINI MINI is 57 (based on 77 cars). This one is above average.
One year's mileage out of step
All 15 odometer readings run forward; one year's mileage sits well above or below the others. Not a backward step, so no warning.
A small gap in the record
About 1 month of this car's testable life isn'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.
Currently on a clean run
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.
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 15 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.

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.
