BUY WITH MORE CONTEXT
Check My Vehicle helps UK used-car buyers ask the right questions. We explain the records, the gaps and the checks you should make in person before you commit.
WHY WE BUILT THIS
One car. Several pieces of the story.
A registration can point you towards useful records, but no single result tells you everything. We bring the key checks into a clear buying journey.
Know the car
Compare registration details with the advert, the VIN, the V5C and the vehicle in front of you.
Read the timeline
MOT history, mileage readings and tax status help you spot questions worth asking.
Investigate the risks
Finance, theft and insurance damage need the right sources and careful follow-up with the seller.
HOW WE WORK
Clear about what is available.
Our registration lookup is paused while the service is prepared. Until it is live, we link to official public checks and explain how to inspect the car and paperwork. We will state report coverage, data sources and any price before offering a live report.
01 Use official sources
02 Ask for documents
03 Inspect before paying
OUR APPROACH
Useful guidance without a false sense of certainty.
Can a report replace seeing the car?
No. A record cannot tell you how a car drives or whether a repair was done well. Compare the documents and consider an independent inspection.
Where should I start?
Use our vehicle check guide, then read the buying checklist before a viewing.
