I want to shortlist used cars to buyVehicles

Task prompt

I want to shortlist used cars to buy in the UK. Criteria: petrol or petrol-hybrid hatchback or estate, first registered no earlier than 2017, mileage under 80,000 miles, price at or under £12,000. Search AutoTrader UK for exactly five candidate listings meeting all four criteria. For each, record the price, mileage, registration year, and fuel type, plus AutoTrader's own built-in vehicle-history panel: owner count, MOT valid-until date, and whether it is flagged stolen, scrapped, imported, exported, or written-off. AutoTrader does not publish the actual number plate, so note explicitly that its free history panel draws on a private insurance database, not GOV.UK, and that AutoTrader itself recommends a paid full history check before buying. Separately, check GOV.UK's own MOT-history and vehicle-tax checker pages to confirm exactly what a buyer can verify for free once they have the seller's registration number, and what those free tools do not cover. Produce a document comparing all five candidates side by side plus a short due-diligence note on what is free-checkable versus what needs the seller's plate or a paid report. Do not reserve any vehicle, message any seller, or enter payment details. Leave every listing tab open so I can verify.
