Everything You Need to Know About Vehicle Checks

What is a Vehicle Check?

A vehicle check (also known as a car check or vehicle history check) is a comprehensive report that reveals crucial information about a vehicle's past. Before purchasing a used car, running a vehicle check helps you uncover potential issues that might not be visible during a test drive.

Why Vehicle Checks Matter

Every year, thousands of UK buyers unknowingly purchase vehicles with hidden problems. These can include:

  • Outstanding finance - The vehicle could be repossessed if previous finance isn't settled
  • Clocked mileage - Dishonest sellers wind back odometers to increase value
  • Insurance write-offs - Previously damaged vehicles may have structural issues
  • Stolen vehicles - You could lose both the car and your money

What Data Sources Do We Use?

Our vehicle check pulls data from multiple official sources to give you the most comprehensive picture:

  • DVLA - Vehicle registration, tax status, and keeper information
  • DVSA - Complete MOT history including advisories and failures
  • Finance databases - Outstanding hire purchase and loan agreements
  • Police National Computer - Stolen vehicle records
  • Insurance databases - Write-off and total loss records

When Should You Run a Vehicle Check?

We recommend running a vehicle check:

  • Before viewing a car to avoid wasted journeys
  • Before making an offer to strengthen your negotiating position
  • Before paying any deposit or completing a purchase
  • When selling your own car to know what buyers will find
