Car check FAQs
Is the car check free?
Yes. The free car check shows the DVLA record (make, colour, tax and MOT status) and the full MOT history with advisories, failures and our mileage anomaly check, for any UK registration, at no cost and with no sign-up. Outstanding finance, write-off and stolen records come from licensed databases, so they are in the full car history check: you only pay if you want it. A single full report costs £11.99 including VAT.
What does a CarCheckUp full car history report include?
Outstanding finance, insurance write-off records, police stolen markers, high-risk markers, scrapped and certificate of destruction status, salvage auction records, mileage records and anomalies, full MOT history with advisories and failures, previous keepers, number plate and colour changes, V5C log book dates, import and export status, previous searches, the fuel type, road tax cost, weights and dimensions, and manufacturer specification, performance and emissions data.
How do I check if a car has outstanding finance?
Run a full car history check with the registration or VIN. It searches the finance agreements lenders record with Experian, such as hire purchase (HP) and personal contract purchase (PCP), and shows any agreement still recorded against the car. If finance is outstanding, don't pay until the seller has settled it and you have proof from the lender.
How do I check if a car is stolen?
A full car history check shows whether the police have recorded the vehicle as stolen on the Police National Computer. Also check that the VIN on the car (at the base of the windscreen and in the door frame) matches the V5C log book: a mismatch can mean a cloned car.
What is a mileage anomaly check?
It compares every recorded mileage reading for the vehicle in date order. If a reading is lower than an earlier one, we flag it as an anomaly: it can be a typing error at a test, a replaced dashboard or a clocked car. The free check runs it on MOT readings. If an anomaly is flagged, ask the seller for service records that show the mileage.
How much does a full car history check cost?
A single full report costs £11.99 including VAT, and multi-check bundles are cheaper per check. There are no subscriptions or hidden fees.
