if you bought it already you will most likely need to pay out of your pocket

if you have not bought it yet but are looking to, you may wish to request the seller fund the carfax report

i see you are from across the pond so I hope carfax is accurate over there. It is a pretty good service here in the states.

if that does not seem like a viable option and you want to see if the car was physically tampered with, i would look around the dash to see and scratches or other marks that may indicate they took the trim pieces around the steering column off to get back to the gauges.

other than that... look at how the oil marks are inside the valve cover - that usually is an easy - although not accurate way of telling how used an engine is
