Check this out folks, I wont reveal any details but I just agreed a price with someone for a car and then I chose to do a VOSA MOT Check as there was no history prior the current owners information.
Before I start, bear in mind that the car is currently showing 46,000 miles on a 2003, which naturally interested me!

So there you have it, this could've been a close call, so where possible, I will do this check. If in doubt, check it out is my moto!
Naturally I have called the seller and told them that I am withdrawing my interest and in the sellers defence, they did seem clueless so it would seem that someone have ben stung them somehere too, but I felt it my duty to inform them.
Oh and, if any people want to pursue this and report it, I wont give you any details as its none of my business anymore and as the VOSA site says:
"If you do not have a legitimate interest in the vehicle you must destroy the document"
......which is of course what I have done!
Cruel cruel world out there isnt it!
