TurfrigFind it. Build it. Live in it.Reg check
Read any van from its number plate.
Paste the registration from any advert on any site, or off the photos. You get the MOT history read into points, every advisory priced from live parts listings, and the tests word for word. Free, no account, nothing about you kept.
Where to find it: on the front or back of the van in the photos, in the advert's text, or ask the seller. A seller who won't give it is telling you something.
What you get
A van read from its plate, in about a second.
The MOT reading, out of 100
Every point with its reason: a recent pass, how many advisories and what they were, corrosion, mileage that went backwards, repeat fails, an open recall.
The advisories, priced
Each advisory matched to the part that fixes it and the best live eBay price for that van's generation. Tyres and bodywork are listed, not priced.
Every test, every defect
The last five tests with their mileage and the defects word for word, so you can see what was fixed and what was carried.

Why check before you drive out
Advisories are the real price
The asking price is the start. A set of advisories can be a weekend and £200 in parts, or a sill that fails next year. Seeing them priced tells you which.
Mileage you can trust
The tester records the mileage every year. If it ever went backwards, or jumps by nothing between tests, you'll see it here before you see the van.
