The Risks Are Real

1 in 4 used cars has a hidden problem.
Don't be the one who finds out too late.

A car history check is the only way to know what you're really buying. Here's what catches buyers out every day.

💳
1 in 3
Outstanding Finance
If a car has outstanding HP or PCP finance, the lender legally owns it — not the seller. Buy it without checking and you could lose the car and every penny you paid. Our vehicle history check searches MIAFTR and lender databases instantly.
🔨
1 in 14
Insurance Write-Off
Thousands of write-offs are repaired and resold every year without buyers knowing. A Category S or N write-off can be worth 20–40% less than an equivalent clean car. Our car check surfaces write-off markers from ABI insurance records.
📏

Clocked Mileage
Odometer fraud costs UK buyers an estimated £580 million a year. A car showing 40,000 miles may have genuinely done 90,000. Our used car check cross-references MOT records, service history and auction data to catch it.
Full Report Coverage

Everything your vehicle history check covers

One report. Over 100 data points. Official UK government data plus 1,000+ additional sources — more comprehensive than any other car history check on the market.

💳
Outstanding Finance Check
Searches MIAFTR and major lender databases for any active HP, PCP or personal loan secured against the vehicle. If finance is outstanding, the lender can legally repossess the car from you.
🚔
Stolen Vehicle Check (PNC)
Checks the Police National Computer for any active stolen markers. Also cross-references MIAFTR insurance theft records. Buying a stolen car means losing it with no compensation.
🔨
Write-Off Status (Cat S / Cat N)
Identifies any Category S (structural damage) or Category N (non-structural) insurance write-off markers from ABI records. Write-offs must be declared and are worth significantly less.
📏
Mileage Verification
Cross-references odometer readings across MOT tests, service records and auction data to build a complete mileage timeline. Suspicious drops are flagged immediately.
🏛️
DVLA Keeper & Plate History
Full keeper history, number of previous owners, V5C logbook dates, plate change history and any export or scrapped markers from official DVLA records.
🔧
MOT History & Advisories
Complete MOT pass/fail history from DVSA records, including all advisory notices, failure reasons and mileage at each test. Spot recurring faults before they become your problem.
⚠️
Safety Recalls
Checks for any outstanding manufacturer safety recalls that haven't been completed. Over 2 million vehicles in the UK have outstanding recalls at any given time.
🔍
VIN Verification
Cross-references the VIN against DVLA registration records to confirm the vehicle's identity is genuine and hasn't been cloned, tampered with or given a false identity.

"Ran a vehicle history check on a Golf I was about to buy. Came back with £4,200 outstanding finance — the seller swore blind there was none. Saved me an absolute nightmare. Worth every penny."

"Did a car history check on three cars I was shortlisting. Two came back clean, one had a Cat S write-off that hadn't been declared. The 2-report bundle was brilliant value. Really sorted me out."

"The used car check flagged a 30,000-mile discrepancy in the mileage history. The seller had no explanation. Walked away and found a clean car instead. Couldn't recommend it more highly."
