Mileage continuity
Compare every recorded odometer reading. A fall, implausible jump or long unexplained gap deserves evidence before money changes hands.
One plate.
The car’s paper trail.
Enter a UK registration to identify the vehicle, read its MOT story and spot the details that change what it is worth. No email wall and no dealer callback.
Vehicle identity MOT chronology Mileage signals
A history is more useful than a green tick.
A current MOT pass only describes one test on one day. The useful evidence sits in the sequence: mileage moving consistently, advisories disappearing after repair, and failures that do not return year after year.
carFlippy puts those entries in context so you can distinguish ordinary age-related wear from a pattern of neglected tyres, suspension play, corrosion or emissions trouble. That changes both the viewing checklist and the maximum price you should entertain.
Recurring advisories
A note repeated across tests is not background noise. It can reveal deferred maintenance and the repair budget waiting for the next owner.
Identity mismatch
Cross-check the returned fuel, engine and make against the advert and the car. A mismatch can be an innocent typo, but it must be resolved.
The plate identifies the car. Mileage and condition decide the number.
Once the record looks coherent, use the dedicated valuation calculator to compare quick-sale, realistic private-sale and patient asking prices. Add the faults you found instead of valuing an imaginary perfect example.
