    Is there anyway to check the mileage of a car? Bought mine in October with 9500 miles on which can't be right. Anyway of getting previous mot records ?

    That will be why they are not showing on line then. Their website only shows MOT`s & mileages since about 2006 when the garages moved onto the online system.

    Only way to check would be to look at the old MOT certs if you had them, other than that there wont be any records, unless you have some sort of service book/history/receipts with the car.
