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
Late MOT tests
3 late tests; the longest lapse was 74 days with no MOT certificate, before the 12 June 2023 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.
Above the average for similar cars
The average Bonafied score for a 2017 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY is 73 (based on 32 cars). This one is above average.
Mileage record is consistent
All 8 odometer readings on this vehicle's MOT record show consistent forward progression. Average usage works out at 25,050 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 7 years, and about 4 months of that aren't covered by a test. The 12 June 2023 test came 15 months after the one before it, which accounts for about 3 of those months. 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 5 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 8 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.
Mileage history
Average 25,050 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.

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.
