What you get

Free on every check

Enter a registration above and these come back straight away — no account, no email needed.

Full MOT history

Every test, pass or fail, with the advisories recorded each time.

Mileage check

Every reading on record, and whether they only ever go up.

Vehicle identity

Make, model, engine, colour and when it was first registered.

What a Full Check adds

The three that come from finance and insurance industry records rather than DVLA — the ones that decide whether the person selling it is entitled to sell it.

Outstanding finance

Whether money is still owed on it — a financed vehicle can be repossessed from you.

Insurance write-off

Whether an insurer has written it off, and the category that decides if it belongs on the road.

Stolen marker

Whether it's recorded stolen on the police database. A stolen vehicle goes back to its owner.

4.8 out of 5

Based on 8 reviews

Ran the free check on a car I was about to put a deposit on. Full MOT history in seconds, and the advisories told me more than the seller had.

Paid for the full report and it came back with outstanding finance on the car. Walked away that afternoon. Best £8 I've ever spent.

Bought the three-check pack before a weekend of viewings. Used two, and the third is still sitting there for next time.
