Car history check

[civicx3]

Are there any free and good ones out there? failing that whats the cheapest and most detailed?

Found that if you put the reg and any mileage into Autotrader's selling page it tells you if its a category car for free, handy when buying a new car

If you go in to Dvla website and put your reg in it tells you all previous mots weither it passed or not and how many miles it had on each mot.

yeah i use that but wondered if there was a more detailed check such as finding out why its recorded as a cat C etc...

How do you mot check a car from Ireland? the number plates aren't recognised by DVLA

you cant check an NI car on the MOT site, you can ring up and ask them to confirm mileages and they will tell you if there are any discrepancies, but any good check will list these also.

i also found the autotrader hack last year and its grand for doing a quick wee check.

Ok what about a car located in the south, still cant get any info on it, the number plate is close to 99-D-12345

forget about checking in the south, theres no way to check them other than a history check, it should show mileage i think but its not common practice to do on older cars.

old NCT certs would give you an indication but overall condition is what i would go by.
