Get a free vehicle history check at Rapid Car Check. The best thing you can do before you commit to buying to second hand car.
Just put in the registration number of the the car that you are interested in and it instantly gives you MOT expiry dates, how much vehicle tax will cost you, the colour of the vehicle (In case its different) and shows you any advisories or what it failed on for the previous 3 MOT's too so you know what to look out for and maybe even negotiate a better price.
You can opt to have extra paid checks after the free ones which cost £2.95 for standard check and £8.99 for a full in depth check.
