Vehicle overview
Confirm the registration, make, model and available VIN information at the top of the report. Note when the report was created. Resolve an identity mismatch before relying on any other section.
Individual checks
Open each important check and read its status, explanation, source and date together. A flag identifies a returned finding; an unavailable or unchecked result leaves an answer open rather than confirming that no issue exists.
History and mileage
Compare MOT tests, mileage readings and other events in date order. Preserve mileage units and distinguish an event date from the date the source was checked. The timeline does not invent records between observations.
What to do next
Use the relevant seller questions to request supporting evidence. Keep the original finding and response together, and arrange a suitable inspection for condition concerns. A clear report is not a complete history or a condition guarantee.
