wilbo83 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Just wondered whats the best way to verify mileage other than paying £20 HPI check, or is that the only way? Obviously, I know looking through the old paperwork will do this, but just wanted to know if there was any way of doing a cheap check on database Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celica101 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Im sure theres a way of checking old mot's on a website,so you can check mileages.. You can check the old mot online if you have the paperwork as it will ask for a number which I think is either on the v5 or mot slip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdmawd Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Type mot history checker into google its on the dvla.gov site , it allows all previous MOT's to be viewed, including previous advisories. you will need 2 things... the document reference number and the vehicle registration number.

wilbo83 Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Ah ok, dont have the MOTs, just seen it on the dealers site at the moment but it says it has 30k, is an 05 plate and has had 3 owners. Seems low mileage for 3 owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdmawd Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Ask him if he is willing to guarantee the mileage?.... he will only be able to do that by going on service history and performing the same check himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antmax7 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) a hpi check can't guarantee the mileage it has been proven many times that they have got it wrong best way is check the car out will be pretty obvious if the mileage is correct seat wear and many other things to look for oh mine had 2 previous owners with 22k on the clock at 4 years of age the service history will be your best bet,for example Audi keep the records of all the work carried out at there dealerships so you can ring up and ask for a printout of all the work done to the obviously they record the mileage when carrying out any work HTH Edited April 21, 2011 by antmax7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilbo83 Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Reason why i asked this is there is an impreza for sale not far from me at a garage called Moorelands with 30k which looks identical to one that was sold at the BCA super Saturday auction last weekend, there is a pic on a story about it on pistonheads where the numberplate has been obscured but sure it is VO05VKW which apparently had 90k on it. If anyone fancies doing some detective work to see if I am right, feel free, would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
