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
A test a little late
One test was 11 days late: the certificate ran out on 14 March 2025 and the next test was 25 March. Under a month, so no warning.
Above the average for similar cars
Scores 96 against an average of 65 for the 12,199 cars of this make, model family and year we have scored.
One year's mileage out of step
All 9 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 4 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 9 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.

Average 4,829 miles per year.

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.

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.
