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.

Wish this was available before I bought the last one to find it had all the rot in the world covered up by filler and expanding foam! Annoying that the MOTs that came with the service history had nothing on them - I was had lol It has been rusting for years according to the DVLA!!! Most are failures and the passes are a day or two after with no advisories - someone had a friend in the trade!

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.
