Popular Questions

Answers to the questions UK drivers ask most often.

Vehicle Checks

How do I run a free vehicle check?

Enter the vehicle registration number into the check box and submit it. We will search available UK vehicle data and show the results instantly where data is available.

What information is included in a report?

A report can include vehicle identity, MOT history, tax status, mileage records, write-off checks, stolen checks, finance checks and other available vehicle details.

Why can't I find my vehicle?

The registration may be typed incorrectly, the vehicle may be too new, or public data may not yet be available from the relevant source.

Can I check any UK vehicle?

You can search most UK registered vehicles, but results depend on the data available for that specific registration.

MOT, Tax & VIN

How do I check MOT history?

Run a vehicle check using the registration number. If MOT data is available, the report will show test dates, results, mileage and advisories.

How do I check if a vehicle is taxed?

Use the registration number to check the latest available tax status. The report may show whether the vehicle is taxed or marked as SORN.

What is a VIN number?

A VIN is a unique vehicle identification number. It is usually found on the vehicle chassis, dashboard, door frame or registration documents.

Can MOT mileage be wrong?

Mileage is recorded during MOT tests and can occasionally contain errors. Treat unusual mileage changes as a signal to investigate further.

Data & Accuracy

Where does your data come from?

Information is compiled from trusted UK data sources and publicly available vehicle records where available.

How often is data updated?

We aim to keep vehicle information up to date, but update frequency can vary depending on the source and the type of data.

What should I do if information looks incorrect?

Contact our support team with the registration number and the detail that appears incorrect, so we can review the issue.

Should I rely only on the report before buying?

No. Vehicle information should be used for guidance and independently verified before making a purchase decision.

Privacy & Support

Is my registration number stored?

We do not store your personal information. Registration searches are used to return the requested vehicle information.

No account is required for basic vehicle checks. You can enter a registration number and view available results.
