DVLA · DVSA · official UK vehicle records

One registration number. The whole story.

Every vehicle on UK roads leaves a paper trail: registration records at the DVLA, MOT tests, insurance write-off markers, police stolen reports, finance agreements logged against the VIN. A vehicle history check reads that trail back to you in seconds, for any vehicle with a UK registration.

It works before you ever see the vehicle. Checking the reg from the listing — before you travel — costs less than the fuel to go and view it, and rules out the sellers you shouldn't waste an evening on. Buying for a small fleet or comparing several vehicles? Comprehensive checks drop to £4.99 each when you buy five or more.

The £1.99 basic check confirms the vehicle is what the listing says it is: the VIN and engine number to verify against the metal, the recorded colour and plate history, whether it was imported, and whether it's ever been scrapped on paper. If you also want the money questions answered — finance owing, stolen markers, write-off categories, and full mileage verification — the Comprehensive check adds all of that for the same registration.

If it all comes back clean, you buy with confidence. If it doesn't, you've just saved yourself from the most expensive mistake in used-vehicle buying. Start with the £1.99 basic check, and add the full finance and write-off check any time before you pay.

Common questions

Which vehicles can I check?
Any vehicle with a UK registration number can be checked. We hold the most detailed history for cars; coverage for other vehicle types may be more limited, and the report will show exactly what we found.
How fast is the report?
Seconds. Enter the registration, pay, and the report appears immediately — stored in your account for life.
Can I check a vehicle before viewing it?
Yes — that's the best time. All you need is the registration from the listing. Checking before you travel saves wasted trips.
What's the difference between the Basic and Comprehensive checks?
Basic (£1.99) adds scrapped, import, plate-change, VIN/engine and previous-keeper checks over the free report. Comprehensive (£9.99) adds outstanding finance, stolen and write-off markers, full mileage verification and a valuation — you can add it after confirming your reg.
I'm checking several vehicles — is there a discount?
Yes. Comprehensive checks are £4.99 each when you buy five or more, and every report is stored in your account for life.
