Re: free car check,
very good thanks, a handy one i use on the iPhone is my car check it gives all the basic information for free then can do a more thorough history check for £1.50, the basic one usually is all i need, i used it on a few debadged BMW's and in every case they have been debadged to hide the fact they are a 116i or 316i

Re: free car check,
You can also do a check similar to this on the VOSA site, if you've got V5 details you can check the MOT history too.

Ooh, looks like my old Senator bit the dust in 2007
I bet it was the cam chain, I did offer the guy the upgraded one but he declined. Ah well, it lasted 3 years after I sold it
