A finance agreement is recorded against this vehicle.
What this means. Until the agreement is settled, the finance company may own the vehicle rather than the seller, and it could be repossessed. Before paying, ask the seller for a settlement letter from the finance company, or contact the company using the details below.
An insurer has recorded this vehicle as a total loss on the Motor Insurance Anti-Fraud and Theft Register (MIAFTR).
What this means. Category S means structural damage and Category N means non-structural damage; both can be repaired and put back on the road, but the record lowers the value and can affect insurance. Categories A and B must never return to the road. Ask for repair invoices and consider an independent inspection.

This sample report shows how CarCheckUp presents official UK vehicle records. Here is what to look for when running a check on a used car:
If a vehicle has outstanding finance, the lender (e.g. Black Horse, MotoNovo, Santander) owns the car until the balance is paid. Buying without settling the agreement means the finance company has the legal right to repossess the car. Our full report lists the finance house name, agreement reference, finance type (PCP / Hire Purchase / Loan), and contact numbers.
Insurers register write-offs when vehicle repair costs exceed economic value. Category S indicates structural damage, while Category N indicates non-structural damage (electrical, cosmetic, mechanical). Both categories can be legally repaired and returned to the road, but usually carry a 20%–40% lower resale market value and higher insurance premiums.
We analyze every historical MOT odometer reading since 2005 . If a recorded mileage is lower than an earlier reading, our automated anomaly engine flags the exact dates and odometer difference to alert you to clocking or instrument cluster replacement.
Cross-referenced in real-time with the Police National Computer (PNC). If a vehicle has an active theft marker, it cannot be legally registered or insured by a new buyer, and police will seize it without compensation.
When all 24+ checks pass with zero adverse entries, the report displays a green 'Clear' summary badge confirming no finance, write-off, or stolen markers are active.

Run a Vehicle Check Now →This report shows the records our data sources returned when it was produced.
"No record" means the source returned no record at that time. It is not a guarantee that the vehicle has no history, so we still recommend an inspection and a test drive, and checking that the VIN and V5C log book match the vehicle. Questions about this report? Contact us.
