Looks like the algorithm doesn’t like failed MOTs or advisories..they state also that engine issues in MOTs are biasing factors…mileage changes, length of ownership I suspect are other factors..
Obviously it’s primary role is to hook you on their subscriber reports..

Hey Guys!
I noticed we were getting traffic from this forum and wanted to see what was being said. Love all the comments. We use feedback to build our site to be more and more accurate.
Our data for make/model is powered by the DVLA as well as a third party supplier. So apologies for any incorrect vehicle specs. Your score will still be true to the vehicle’s history though.
Any questions or more importantly feedback on how to improve, I’m all ears!
My Name is Nathan and I made this website around 6 months ago, and work on it everyday, so all a work in progress
Cheers!

Looks like the score has been impacted due to health and safety advisories (seatbelt damage). Also the vehicle is almost 20 years old, so it has also been knocked a bit for that. Still a great score!

The algorithm takes into a huge amount of data. I have a database of around 60 million UK vehicles with Mot histories, average mileage, scrapped mileage etc etc. I use all of this to see common patterns with vehicles that deteriorate at a set age, average mileage etc. equally, it will scan a MOT to check if any general big issues have shown up such as Oil leaks, Engine knocking, rust on chassis. Some of which are classed as ‘advisories’ which are actually detrimental to a vehicle’s health.
The website has been designed to allow not so vehicle-educated users understand if a vehicle is good, bad, reliable, all within a simple score. It’s very complicated to get the score absolutely accurate. But it’s getting better and better every week.

Still an ace score dude!
So why did my Z4 get a pathetic 564 when it is ultra low mileage, full history and immaculate with no MOT advisories of note?vehiclescore said:
And my shite Mini which is falling to bits have a score of 656?
NB: not that I give a toss but interested all the same!

Can you give me the reg’s so I can check this for you? It depends on so many variables that I could not give you an answer without checking myself.

Given this info, curious how my Z4, which is under 2 yrs old gets a very poor score? Lack of MOT history etc have an adverse score weighting?

I only got 658! 
for a car with full BMW/s/h, fantastic MOT history and only 37k on the clock 
said its getting old (over 10 years old). Guess tomorrow I'll move it out of its garage after the 8 years of ownership and then the pampered jalopy better head to the scrappers, I'll join it on the heap 
ldman: Shame, I took it for a sprint around Loch Lomond a couple of weekends ago and it still drives like new :wink:
