How our car history checks work

How it works

You enter your vehicle’s registration number.
We’ll consult and compile information from the DVLA, amongst other government agencies, to provide you with our free, convenient report.
If you require additional information, including outstanding finance and stolen checks, you can upgrade to our basic or comprehensive reports.

Your free car history check

Access to vital information about your vehicle, for free. Just enter a registration number and enjoy a detailed timeline of your car’s history, a full MOT and road tax report, and an estimation of running costs.

Free Car Check

Avoid buying a car that’s been reported as scrapped.

With our basic check find out if the car you’re interested in has been reported as scrapped or imported and previous keepers. We’ll also tell you about any colour or license plate modifications, and we’ll verify the authenticity of the vehicle’s VIN and engine number – so you can be sure you’re getting the car you think you are.

Basic Car Check

Avoid buying a car with outstanding finance.

Knowing if the car you’re buying has any outstanding finance can save you from a lot of heartache. With our comprehensive check we’ll tell you the car’s current financial situation, with any outstanding finance laid out clearly for you to see. Save yourself from the burden of unknown debt.

Avoid buying a stolen car

We’ll tell you if the car you’re about to buy has been reported as stolen, so you can be sure you’re handing money over to the vehicle’s legitimate owner. We’ll also tell you about any mileage anomalies, or indications that the car’s odometer has been tampered with.
