Public MOT Roadworthiness vs. Experian Title Verification
MOT Roadworthiness Score: Good.
This score reflects recorded MOT passes and advisory patterns from official government data. However, a roadworthy car can still have £15,000 of unpaid finance debt, a total-loss write-off marker, or a police theft report.
Verify finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen markers, and mileage rollback before paying the seller.
