CHECK CAR DETAILS
Spot your perfect car quickly with the patented car check and minimize the risk of buying a vehicle with unseen problems.Learn if a vehicle has been reported in an accident, stolen, has outstanding finance and more.
Car Stolen Check
A car may be reported lost or stolen. The report will show you information on if a vehicle has been stolen, when it was stolen as well as contact information for the police if available.
Insurance Write-Off
Insurance write off report will provide you with information about a vehicle if an insurance company has written off the vehicle if the cost of the repair exceeds the value. This isn't always due to accidents, it can, for example be as a result of theft, fire or water damage.
Outstanding Finance
Possibly one of the most important check to know, if a vehicle has Outstanding finance.Prior to any sale of a car, the balance of the vehicle, along with any outstanding fees or other agreements must be settled and paid in full.
Number Plate Changes
A vehicle can have a number plate change which can be done by the registered owner for personalisation. We have had reports from users who are desperate to get their number plates back following a plate change, you may wish to consider this at the point of purchase.
Scrapped Car Check
Along with insurance write offs which will provide information on when Cat A was issued, this report will tell you if the car has been scrapped.
MOT History
This is included in Check Car Details free MOT history report. This data is derived from the DVLA site and will provide you with important information which may influence you to purchase a vehicle. Look out of suspension, break disk wear and tear. Tyres are most commonly referened in MOT history reports as they are most easily worn out. Mileage will be shown at each MOT check too.
Previous Owners
Previous owners will be shown on our report. Why is this important? In our opinion, it can go both ways. Car owners can drive calmy or rough, the more owners, the more risk that there could be more wear and tear. Reports will not show you the number of passengers, the gender or age of the previous owner. It's a simple count. Most cars with less owners can be more expensive, you may be able to haggle better with lots of owners. Ensure that you match up the number of owners with the V5C registration book.
Mileage Report
One of the biggest problems that the modern vehicles face is "mileage clocking". This is when a vehicle owner changes the mileage before sale, most commonly in new cars which are under financed or leased. The mileage check will ensure you will have a verified source which shows the last known mileage. This will tie into the MOT history of the vehicle. Ensure you pay attention to this detail.
VIN/Chasis Check
DVLA will not allow any car checking service can provide you with the full VIN/Chasis details. Check Car Details service allows you to enter in the VIN of the vehicle and will tell you if it's a match with DVLA's database. It was common for stolen cars to have different VINs to what was originally registered with the car. Always check the VIN on the actual vehicle to match with the V5C registration booklet.
Logbook Counts
This will show you the number of log books issued to the registered owner at that time. A log book count may increase if an owner has lost the book. There is nothing usually to worry about but a larger number of log books may arise questions
Imported/Exported
Whilst there is nothing wrong with having an imported car, which is a car which was not registered or manufactured in the UK, it may affect your insurance. Be wary of any vehicles which have been exported as technically it has been sent abroad outside of the UK!
Colour Changes
A colour change is the change of colour since manufacture, this can be done via workshops by wrapping or painting. DVLA must be informed of any colour changes so be careful if you see a colour change and this is not reflected in DVLA's database
