The MoT history usually gives a good indication of the mileage, You can check the vehicle's MoT history here for free: good-garage-guide.honestjohn.co.uk/mot-test-result...t
Service history is a little more tricky. I would want to see a stamped service book and a folder full of receipts. If the car has neither, then the seller is probably trying to hide something. For more information on car history checks, see: www.honestjohn.co.uk/cheap-car-history-checks
