Late MOT tests

4 late tests; the longest lapse was 78 days with no MOT certificate, before the 29 July 2016 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.

Not enough peers yet

Fewer than five cars of this make, model family and year have been scored, so there is no average to compare against.

Mileage record is consistent

All 21 odometer readings on this vehicle's MOT record show consistent forward progression. Average usage works out at 575 miles per year. No mileage anomalies detected in the digital record.

How much of this car's MOT history we can see

This car has been due an MOT for 24 years, and about 5 years of that aren't covered by a test. The 29 July 2016 test came 15 months after the one before it, which accounts for about 3 months of that time. 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. 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 time matters to you, ask the seller what they know about it.

Taxed

DVLA records this car's tax status as Taxed.

Currently on a clean run

This vehicle's last 11 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 21 tests recorded a structural defect: corrosion or damage to a part the car's strength depends on.

No sign of an import

DVLA records the car's first UK registration within two years of its manufacture, so nothing 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.

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.

VCheck

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.

Tyres

Worth checking tread depth if you haven't already. New tyres before winter if they're marginal.

  2. This assessment is not a substitute for an independent full vehicle history check, physical inspection or professional mechanical appraisal.
  3. Declared write-offs (Categories A, B, S and N) are not checked at this stage; an independent history check is strongly recommended before purchase.
  4. Mileage consistency is assessed from MOT records only; odometer fraud cannot be ruled out without independent verification.
  5. Bonafied accepts no liability for the condition, fitness for purpose or accuracy of description of any vehicle.
  6. Bonafied cannot detect vehicle modifications. Standard and modified examples are assessed identically against MOT history data.
