Common Questions

Why should I get a full history check?

Around 1 in 3 used cars has some form of hidden history. Outstanding finance means the car could be repossessed. A stolen marker means it could be seized by police. Write-off categories affect value and safety. A £4.99 check could save you thousands.

What data sources do you use?

Free checks use official DVSA and DVLA open data. Premium checks query the Police National Computer (PNC), major finance houses, and the Motor Insurance Anti-Fraud and Theft Register (MIAFTR).

How quickly do I get results?

Instantly. After payment completes, you are redirected straight back to your vehicle report with all premium data included.

Can I get a refund?
