Open official service ↗What a free vehicle check can tell you
The official MOT history can show recorded mileage at each test, passes, failures and advisory items. The DVLA vehicle enquiry service can show tax, SORN, registration, engine, fuel, weight, emissions and MOT information. These checks can help confirm that the registration and basic description are consistent.
What is not included
These free links do not provide a complete commercial history report for outstanding finance, theft databases, insurance write-off detail or a guaranteed market valuation. Those checks require an appropriate licensed provider. Always inspect the vehicle and its original documents before purchase.
Free vehicle-check questions
Can I check MOT mileage for free?
Yes. The official MOT history service shows the mileage recorded when the vehicle was tested, where records are available.
Can I check the registered keeper?
The public vehicle enquiry does not reveal the keeper's identity. GOV.UK explains the separate process for requesting keeper information from DVLA.
Is this a full car-history check?
No. It is a collection of official free checks, not a paid finance, theft, write-off or valuation report.
Does Baba verify a vehicle before collection?
Baba checks transport and loading details. The buyer remains responsible for ownership, history, payment and document checks.
