    Better than the old system because you don't need the last MOT cert no or V5 no.

    I used the old system to check out a couple of Galaxys I went to look at 3 or 4 years ago, both supposedly with 80K on the clock. MOT history told me only a few days before I viewed them that one had 230K and the other 186K on the clock. Both MOT'd at the same garage.

    Neither police nor VOSA seem to give a toss.

    Great find, massive help now you don't have to provide a V5 reference number. Helps me as I get a lot of burnt out cars in at work for breaking, before as I had no V5 I couldn't get the last known mileage to help sell parts but now it's nice and easy.
