M.O.T check please

[smellmycheese]

Goin to look at a motorhome later that's being sold without m o.t, seller sounds genuine but I'd like to check if it's been moted and failed miserably. I believe a few on here know how to do this and as I don't have p.c access any help would be greatly appreciated. Reg is H699 OBE

That's pretty useful having all the various freely available info in a single location rather than having to go to each of the usual sites - thanks.

 

The mileage notification message seems a little over-zealous though - it flags up a "below average mileage" warning for all my cars, yet they're all North of 150k miles! I can understand it flagging for something genuinely particularly low mileage or if the MOT mileage history doesn't tally up, but seems strange on cars that most would consider to be a bit leggy and which I struggle to believe is genuinely below average!

[Chris2cv]

Same with mine, at 74,000 on a 13 year old car, it is a low mileage, which the previous MOTs prove, but were I looking up a car that I wanted to buy, it seems to suggest clocking or something dodgy.

 

 My car is low mileage because it kept being vandalised at work, so now I commute on a moped and only use the car at weekends, and even then, only if I am not working.

 

  Incidentally, I see that a mini I used to know many years ago is still going, and currently showing 40,000 odd miles. It was showing that when I last saw it in the 90's and was on its 3rd speedo then! God knows how many miles it has actually done.

• Vehicle makeMERCEDES
• Vehicle model208 D

208D = misery.

[Lacquer Peel]

The mileage advice is just based on the average mileage of 12k a year or thereabouts.
