VEHICLE HISTORY

History

Here is an overview of the vehicle history. Use this information to make sure that you are completely

happy with the vehicle history before you purchase the car.

The amount of miles

we have recorded.

Discrepancies could

indicate ’clocked‘ mileage.

Refer to your online report

for full mileage history.

NUMBER OF COLOUR CHANGES

NUMBER OF PREVIOUS PLATES

IMPORTED

EXPORTED

SCRAPPED

Any person or business who has legally kept the vehicle

since it was first registered with the DVLA

If colour changes are found check the vehicle matches

the V5C document to verify that it's a legitimate colour

change registered with the DVLA

Personalised plates are not uncommon. If plate changes

are found, check the registration number and VIN match

the V5C document

If the car is listed as imported ask the seller to explain

the vehicle history to you, so you can be sure there

weren't any issues with the car before it was imported

If the DVLA has marked this vehicle as exported, it

should no longer be in the UK. Check the vehicle is

registered with the DVLA before buying

We advise not to buy a car that is registered as

scrapped. A scrapped vehicle should no longer exist,

meaning the car for sale could be a clone.

To help you negotiate on price, this make and model has been independently valued by Glass’s who

mileage of 12,000 miles per year.

£23,250.00

VEHICLE VALUATION

Vehicle

Valuation

Dealer prices tend to be higher as they

cover the cost of advertising,

refurbishment and margin.

DEALER PRICE

HOW TO NEGOTIATE

Find out what price similar cars are going for, set your

price and then negotiate to that point with the seller.

Start at your 'best price' and prepare to meet in the

middle.

Highlight any needed repairs and use this to negotiate

on price, for example to replace worn tyres.

Prices will depend on the age and

condition of the vehicle. A full service

MOT history could add value to the car.

PRIVATE SALE PRICE

£21,000.00

Faults found during a test drive are always worth

haggling over .

Check any modifications have been carried out to a

high standard, be aware some modifications can

devalue cars.

“Be open-minded. Obviously you’ll have a budget and a

good idea of what you want. But if something else crops

up in top-notch condition at a bargain price you’d be

a fool to ignore it.

The second rule is to trust your instincts. If a gut feeling

tells you there is something not quite right about the

car or the seller, walk away. Don’t be browbeaten by

logical argument into buying something you don’twant. That’s how salesmen earn their money and you

lose yours”.

BUYING CHECKLIST

CHECK THE VEHICLE HISTORY CHECK THE V5C

VALIDATE THE VIN TEST DRIVE INSURANCE

All major changes such as number

plate or colour changes should be

registered with the DVLA. They could

be innocent but they could also be an

attempt to hide the identity of the

vehicle. If you’re unsure, highlight

any concerns with the seller or the

DVLA before you buy.

Check the details on the V5C

(registration document) are consistent

with the vehicle itself, and ask the seller

for proof of address. If you’re unsure

check your concerns with the DVLA

before you make your purchase.

Make sure you check the VIN number

(found on the engine bay, windscreen

or door) to ensure the car hasn’t

been cloned. Make a note of the VIN

number and we’ll check it matches

the VIN number registered to the

vehicle at no extra cost.

Are you insured to take the car out for

a test drive? Your standard car

insurance may not cover you to drive

the vehicle, for peace of mind you can

arrange temporary insurance so you

can road-test the car knowing you’re

covered should anything happen.
