Text the car reg to 83600. Obvioulsy I wouldn't expect anyone to text a number without checking first, but its all legit, see here: http://www.cartextcheck.com/

Its 3 quid, but I think mileage is extra.

Does not return the full VIN number

Tells you:
No of owners
if colors been changed
if stolen
if scrapped
if written off

no mileage

£1.50 extra for a valuation check ...???
