Get a credit card in your name if you don’t have one yet. Doesn’t matter the limit just get one. Even if a department store or big box retailer card.
use card atleast one time a month - small dollar amount- pay it off right away in full.
score will improve over time.
I see you're in the UK. I got a TV on credit (From Currys) around 11 years ago when I was in Uni, paid it off over a year, and my credit scores been >978 ever since. I had a few cars that were financed during that period too. Never missed any bills.
