Report Features
A Truly Comprehensive
Car History Check
Founded with a belief that Motor Vehicle History Checks should be comprehensive, we take pride in our reports being amongst the most comprehensive reports in the industry. Below are just some of our reports features!
MOT & Tax Check
Every vehicle on the road in the UK must have valid MOT and Road Tax, it is a legal requirement. MOT are yearly safety checks which vehicles 3 years old and older have to undertake – MOT centres carry out checks and give your vehicle a pass or fail with notes if neccessary. Road Tax is tax paid by motorists for using UK roads, it is determined by your vehicle VED Band, you can pay for your Road Tax yearly, 6 bi annually and month (via direct debit). You can check if a vehicle has MOT or Tax using our Free MOT & Tax Checker.
Finance Check
It is important that the car you are purchasing does not have a financial agreement registered to it. If you notice a finance agreement on your check, then you must call the finanace company and find out if the debt is settled as they are the legal owners. We also carry out a Financial High Risk check which tells you if any other entities have a financial interest in the car. We get our finance data from Experian, global leaders in financial data, so you can rest assured our checks our thorough.
Salvage Check
A car with a category marker or salvage history can be worth between 20% – 40% less than an undamaged car. We get the most comprehensive salvage data in the industry and are quite confident in our salvage data quality, this is because we also get data directly from salvage yards. Also cars may have ended up in the salvage yard due to damage, however due to particular circumstances the car hasn’t been categorised ( an example of this is when Marcus Rashford crashed his Rolls Royce) our check searches a range of sources, helping to give you peace of mind.
Running Costs
Unlike other Car History Checks, our report provides accurate and up to date running costs. We will tell you the cost of a full tank, road tax, MOT (spoiler alert: MOTs will cost £54.85 or less for cars 8 seats or less, as set by Law) for the vehicle you’ve searched. We use Fuel Scan to give us up to date fuel data to give you a better understanding how of much fuelling a car will cost you. You can save 100s when you shop around!
Common Issues
It’s always nice to know what you are dealing with, cars have been bought millions and millions of time, so its a good idea to know the common issues people who drive the car face. We get information from a range of official sources as well as the internet to find common problems people have with your car. Common issues don’t mean that you will face them, Car Reliability is heavily dependent on maintenance and knowledge, so atleast if you know the issues you can try to avoid them or not be too surprised when they arise.
