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.

Download the score card and add it to your listing photos. Buyers see at a glance you've checked the MOT history.
A vehicle with this registration was advertised for sale as Cat S, Cat N, Cat A, Cat B, or as repaired from declared damage (seen August 2026). Bonafied has not verified this, and registration plates can be transferred between vehicles, so this may relate to a different car that once carried this plate. A categorised vehicle is one an insurer has formally written off following damage. It is legal to sell, but with material implications for value, insurability and resale. An HPI check is the way to confirm the formal write-off register and other history Bonafied does not check. The score and tier shown above have been adjusted to reflect this advertised status.
The average Bonafied score for a 2014 JAGUAR XF is 58 (based on 35 cars). This one is above average.
The MOT history here shows issues worth understanding. Having it inspected before any purchase is worth considering.
