- Lighting and signalling equipment

Verify MOT History
Check the complete MOT test record. Look for consistent passes, recurring advisory notes, and any patterns that might indicate ongoing mechanical issues.
Check Mileage Consistency
Review mileage records from each MOT test. Dramatic jumps or suspiciously steady readings could indicate clocking.
Confirm ULEZ Compliance
With expanding Clean Air Zones, verify the Euro emission status. Non-compliant vehicles face daily charges in London, Birmingham, and other UK cities.
Match Vehicle Identity
Ensure the make, model, colour, and engine size match the V5C logbook. Discrepancies could indicate cloned plates or identity fraud.
