Check the car and the paperwork as two parts of the same story.
Registration, inspection or MOT information should be verified with the applicable official authority where relevant.

What to check before buying a used car from any dealer.
Build the decision around condition, history, documents and ownership fit rather than first impressions.
Start with identity and history. Confirm the vehicle details match its records, then inspect condition, service evidence and any outstanding questions before discussing price.
A clean-looking car is not a substitute for a clear history.
Inspect tyres, brakes, warning lights, controls and signs of inconsistent repair.
