Hi, I hope I have put this on the right bit.....bit of advice please? I am looking at buying a car and I checked the MOT history on VOSA; they are only showing MOT records for last two years? I have no idea why, the car is over 20 years old and I have just done a HPI check and it is all clear. Maybe been off the road? Seems strange.

MoT computerised is only a recent(ish) thing.

Been running a lot longer than the last two years.......

I'd say it's probably been off the road for some while - OP have you asked the seller the question?

On a car of that age the MOT history would be the last thing to worry about.
