    Quick question - looking at buying in the UK over the next day or two, hoping to put down a deposit on a 1998 Saab at GBP2500, 95k miles, but no service history.
    Is there any check that can be done in the UK to check this car's mileage, relating to the MOT center, HPI checks, etc? I've no experience with buying through the UK and want to try and somehow confirm the milage is legit - it's with a dealer, but that doesn't mean much.
    Thanks

    Try http://www.aacheck.com/mileage-records.html

    But as it says they, and I presume any mileage checking service, are dependent on third parties for the information. The fact that there is no service history will remove one of the avenues they have for confirming mileage.

    If there's no service history then don't buy the car. Assuming it's not a convertible, STG£2,500 should get you a car with half the mileage and a FSSH.
