What is a car check?

A car check looks up a UK vehicle's official history using its number plate. In seconds you can see MOT and tax status, recorded mileage and hidden problems.

Why check before you buy?

Many used cars carry hidden issues. Outstanding finance is one of the most costly problems because the lender may still have a legal interest in the vehicle.

How we keep reports accurate

We use official DVLA and DVSA records combined with finance and insurance data to give you a clear report before purchasing a used vehicle.
