 I have just purchased and pick up a Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec tomorrow with only 26000 miles on the clock, first registered in Feb 2004. I thought great, but did a car check to make sure everything was OK for £9.95 the Gold version. On their website it included mileage check at no cost, after receiving the details it states 26000 miles recorded on the 10th August and goes on to say " Please note that mileages are supplied by third parties and are not validated. Mileages may be rounded to the nearest thousand"

That seems pointless to me, I know nothing more than what I have already seen. It would seem anybody could say whatever mileage they like. What was wrong with them checking the MOT mileage, they must be able to obtain this.

This is a useful cheap check for car buyers.

i have used text check that advertise on TV - cannot go into too much detail at the moment but they said car i was looking at was clear ( not stolen or insurance right off )- well....... i got stopped by the community support officer whilst moving it off drive to clean it but had no tax on it - he checked it on PNC and it came back as being stolen and they have confiscated the car. Like i say cant go into more detail as it is now subject to investigation as suspected insurance fraud by previous owner.
