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
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.
Mileage record is consistent
All 10 odometer readings on this vehicle's MOT record show consistent forward progression. Average usage works out at 297 miles per year. No mileage anomalies detected in the digital record.
Tested annually without gaps
This vehicle has been MOT-tested annually with no significant gaps in its history. The continuous record gives us more confidence in the data behind the score.
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.
AutoAid BreakdownExtended Warranty
Protects against unexpected repair bills once you own it. More relevant for older vehicles.

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.
