On the forecourt this week

Four of the sixty, and what is documented about each.

Prices are on-the-road totals. Every monthly figure carries its term and its APR, because a monthly figure without them is not a price.

The record · 2019 Volvo V60 D4 SE Lux

This is the part other forecourts leave in a sentence.

Every UK vehicle’s MOT history is published free by the DVSA, to anyone, on the registration alone. The mileage series that would expose a clocked car is already public for every car on every forecourt in the country. We print it, and you can check it against the source before you drive over.

Recorded mileage at every MOT

YK19 HXR
Apr 202012,410
Apr 202124,880
Apr 202235,120

Advisory: front tyres approaching limit

Failed on offside front disc; repaired and retested the same day

Apr 202558,100
Apr 202662,410
Seven tests, seven rising figures and one repaired failure. Currently showing 62,800. HPI reports that one vehicle in eleven it checks carries a mileage discrepancy; this is how you tell.

The rest of the record

MOT history
Seven tests on record. Recorded mileage rises consistently at every one, which is what rules out an adjusted odometer.
DVSA →
Provenance check
No outstanding finance, not recorded stolen, no insurance write-off category. Run 14 July 2026 and run again the day you collect.
HPI →
Former keepers and V5C
Two former keepers. V5C present and in the seller’s name at the point we bought it.
Our folder
Service history
Five stamps. Main dealer to 2023, then a Volvo specialist in Wetherby. Invoices in the folder.
Our folder
A row that links to the body issuing the record is worth more than one that does not, so the rows we can only evidence from our own folder say exactly that.

Preparation

What the dealer margin actually buys.

Eight things happen to every car between arriving and being priced. It takes five to ten working days, and it is the entire difference between us and an auction.

Bought, not taken in blind

Every car is inspected and provenance-checked before we buy it. If the history is wrong we do not buy it, which is why the forecourt holds sixty cars and not two hundred.

Full service

Oil, filters, plugs and any fluid past its interval, to the manufacturer schedule. Invoiced, and the invoice is in the folder.

Fresh MOT

A new twelve-month MOT on the day it goes on sale, rather than whatever was left on it.

Brakes, tyres and cambelt

Pads and discs replaced below 4mm. Tyres replaced below 3mm and matched across the axle. Cambelt done if it is within 10,000 miles of its interval.

Second provenance check

Re-run on the day you collect, because finance can be taken out against a car after we have bought it.

Paint and body

Machine polish, and any dent or scuff larger than a ten pence piece put right. We photograph what we did not fix and show you that too.

Two keys

If a car arrives with one key we cut and code a second before it goes on sale.

Twelve-month warranty

Parts and labour, at our workshop or any VAT-registered garage you choose. No mileage cap.

Finance

The monthly figure, and everything standing behind it.

In the year the FCA is implementing a £7.5 billion redress scheme over motor finance commission, a dealer who puts the payment in the headline and the terms in a footer PDF is telling you something. Ours sit in the same box, at the same size.
Ravensdale Motor Company Limited is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority
firm reference number 731442. We are a credit broker, not a lender. We receive a commission from the lender for introducing you. Ours is a fixed fee, agreed in advance with each lender, and it does not change with the interest rate you are offered. Ask for the figure at any point before you sign and we will tell you what it is.
Finance is subject to status and affordability. You must be 18 or over and a UK resident. A soft search to check eligibility leaves no mark on your credit file; a full application does.

Part-exchange

What yours is worth against it.

Two figures exist and they are not the same thing. Most forecourts quote you the first and renegotiate on the day. We would rather tell you up front which one you are being given.

We will still buy your car if you do not buy one of ours.

BuyersWhat people say when the paperwork is already out.

Reviews from the people we've worked with.

Helen A.
Bought a V60, March 2026

“I asked three dealers for the MOT history of the car I was looking at. Two said they would dig it out. Ravensdale had it printed in the folder before I asked.”

Raj P.
Part-exchanged a Golf, January 2026

“The part-exchange figure dropped £300 when Sofia saw the car. She showed me the tyre that caused it, and put the original figure back when I said I would replace it myself.”

Tom and Bea M.
Bought an i40, November 2025

“Twelve-month warranty, and they let me use my own garage for the claim. Nobody else offered that.”
