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
Above the average for similar cars
The average Bonafied score for a 2003 PORSCHE BOXSTER is 65 (based on 12 cars). This one is above average.
Vehicle is untaxed
DVLA records show this vehicle as untaxed without a SORN declaration. Vehicles should normally be one or the other; this combination usually means paperwork hasn't been finalised. Worth confirming with the seller before any viewing or payment.
Currently on a clean run
This vehicle's last 10 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.
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.
