This is the public record for one vehicle, drawn from two free government
sources: DVLA for the registration — make, year, colour, fuel,
emissions, tax and MOT status — and DVSA for every MOT result
and mileage reading since 2005. Nothing here costs anything, and nothing here
identifies the keeper.
What it cannot tell you is the commercial history: outstanding finance,
insurance write-offs and stolen markers. Those come from Experian and are not
public. They are the difference between a car you can drive and a car you can
lose — see SortedCars Reports, or read the longer
guide on the free car check.
