Taxis and private-hire cars cover huge mileages. Find out if the car you are looking at has worked as one.
We confirm the make, model and MOT record so you know it is the right car.

A private-hire car can cover 40,000 miles or more a year, much of it in town traffic. Wear on the gearbox, suspension, seats and brakes is far higher than the mileage alone suggests, and resale value is usually lower.
We search taxi and private-hire licence records held by licensing authorities across the UK, including TfL. If the car was licensed you see the authority, the licence start and end dates and whether it was wheelchair adapted.
Holes in the dashboard or roof lining from meters and signs, plate brackets, a very worn driver's seat, and a mileage that jumps sharply between MOTs are all worth asking about.
The MOT preview is free. The full report, with dealer service records and the ex-taxi check, costs £7.99 per car.
No. Pay as a guest and your report opens straight away, with a private link you can bookmark.
Service records are available for most major manufacturers that keep digital service books. Coverage varies by brand and by whether the garage uploaded the visit.
The report says so plainly and still includes the taxi check. Records come from manufacturer systems, so services at independent garages may not appear.
From the official DVSA MOT history service, the same data GOV.UK uses.
