Trying it on a few cars, it seems to be accurate.

First go to http://www.autotrader.co.uk/sell-my-car
then key in the registration number of the car you want to check and the mileage.
Continuing should display the car details.
Then press "Next Step"
You will then see the following page



As you can see, on this example, the car is recorded as Cat. C under the car details.
Should the car be clear, then there will be nothing shown.

This obviously does not replace a full check, but might be of help for someone wanting to run a quick check.

Just did this, and Autotrader very helpfully suggested that I set a sale price of £560 . In order to make me feel better, they also kindly informed me that this price was £450 more than I would get in a part exchange deal . So that's all good then.
