    Built on government MOT history data. No reselling your details. Just a fast, honest read on any used car.

What Bonafied is

What we cover, and what we don’t.

What Bonafied does

  • Reads every MOT test on record and scores the car
  • Spots advisory patterns and explains what they mean
  • Tells you whether a car is worth your time

What Bonafied doesn’t do

  • Replace a paid history check (HPI)
  • Tell you if there’s outstanding finance or a write-off in its past
  • Replace an in-person inspection by a mechanic

Why it’s free

On your side, not on commission.

Bonafied is paid by partners when buyers take their next step. We don’t sell your data, we don’t show ads, and the partners we recommend are the ones we’d use ourselves, not the ones that pay the most.

About

Built by a buyer tired of interrogating.

Bonafied Cars Ltd is a UK-registered company built by Carl Davey, a private buyer who got fed up of researching cars, one MOT at a time.
