browsing autotrader earlier and whilst looking for the VED tax band for a listing on the gov.uk site I note its not been taxed since the summer. presumably this means its been floating around in the trade for a while. The current ad is fairly recent, but I wondered if there was a way I could see previous ads?

cheers for tips

If you copy the page from the app and post Into a web browser you’ll be able to see the date the advert went live. It’s listed in the script in yyyymmdd format.

Don’t think you can see previous ads once they gone they gone, even saved ads loose all the detail once taken down.

If you do a free check in the TotalCarCheck app it gives you any previously listed history it can find.

Its not 100% accurate but is better than nothing.
