    Just saw this post in the Bargain Alerts forum:

    Looking for a bargain importing a UK Car .

    This is a really useful if you purchase a second hand car at any time ftom the UK with an MOT (Or check the MOT History of your car back to its first MOT) (Subject to it being a Computerised Entry MOT)

    Not only does it show the Date of Each MOT and the Mileage of the car (Useful for checking clocking).

    But it also shows the full history of each MOT, including any reasons for a failure and advisories given.

    As some times you buy a car with a pass certificate but it could have had hidden problems marked as advisory that will come back to bite you in the future.

    You Need

    1: Registration Number of your car
    2: Serial Number from Last MOT Certificate or Serical Number from V5 Doc

    http://www.motinfo.gov.uk/internet/jsp/ECHID-Internet-History-Request.jsp

    And off you go.

    Well worth a check to see if there are any things you may need to keep an eye on in the future.

    Hope its useful to someone looking for a Bargain.
    Tried it using the details of my 924 and got all the recent MOTs with fail points and advisories!

    Could be very useful for someone who can get the V5 ref number off a vendor. :)

    Computerisation of MOTs started spring 2005 and took a while to roll-out, so it'll only go back that far.:pac:
