Finance, stolen, or a serious write-off.
An example from a report
There's finance on this car
It's still tied to a hire purchase agreement. Until that's paid off the lender owns the car, so it can be taken back from you even after you've paid for it.
What to do
Don't pay anything until the seller shows you a settlement letter, then call the lender yourself to confirm.
What the full report checks
- Outstanding finance, and who it's owed to
- Recorded as stolen
- Insurance write-offs (Cat A, B, S, N, C, D)
- Mileage history and signs of clocking
- Every MOT, with advisories explained
- Previous keepers and recent changes of hands
- Plate changes, imports, exports and scrapping
- What it's worth, privately and from a dealer
MOT advisories turned into money off. We group what the last MOT tester flagged, with a rough cost to fix each one, so you know what to negotiate on.
One price. Pay once.
£9.99 for one full report. No trial that turns into a monthly charge, no account to cancel, and we never keep your card details. If we can't get the records after you've paid, you're refunded automatically.
Questions
What's free and what do I pay for?
The free check shows the make, model, colour, tax and MOT status, so you know it's the right car. The full report adds finance, stolen, write-off, mileage, keeper and valuation checks, plus our dealer read of what it all means.
Is it really a one-off payment?
Yes. You pay once for one report. We don't do trials, memberships or subscriptions, and we never store your card.
How quickly do I get the report?
Straight away, on screen, usually within a few seconds of paying. We also email you a link so you can come back to it.
What if the check doesn't work?
If we can't get the history records for the car after you've paid, we refund you automatically.
