Every Secret a Car Might Be Hiding
Our reports cross-reference 12+ official UK databases in under 60 seconds — giving you the full picture before you buy.
Accident & Write-Off History
Find out if the vehicle has been in any accidents, declared an insurance write-off (Cat A, B, S, or N), or undergone major structural repairs.
Outstanding Finance
Over 1 in 6 used cars have outstanding finance. If you buy without checking, the finance lender can legally repossess the vehicle from you.
Stolen Vehicle Check
Cross-referenced against the Police National Computer and MIAFTR database. Buying a stolen car means immediate seizure with zero compensation.
Mileage Verification
Mileage clocking affects 500,000 UK vehicles each year. We track recorded odometer readings across every historical MOT test to expose tampering.
Full MOT History
View every MOT test, pass/fail results, historical advisory notes, fail reasons, and whether the car currently holds a valid test certificate.
Ownership Records
Discover how many previous registered keepers the vehicle has had, length of ownership per keeper, and registration issue dates.

"Saved me from buying a written-off Golf. The seller claimed it was in immaculate condition, but the report flagged a Cat S structural repair and £4,200 of outstanding finance. Best money I ever spent."
"Ran a check on a BMW 3 Series before going to view it. Found the odometer had been rolled back by over 35,000 miles across the last two MOTs. Confronted the seller and walked away immediately."
"Super fast report delivery in under 30 seconds straight to my phone. Everything was clear, colour-coded, and gave me the confidence to negotiate £800 off the asking price based on historical MOT advisories."
