To give you peace of mind, we provide buyers with a vehicle check with a clear history on Auto Trader Bikes adverts.
There are 2 different types of checks; basic and full. These vehicle checks (in partnership with Experian) allow you to see the history of a bike you’re thinking of buying.
A basic history check will tell you:
  • If the bike has been stolen
  • If the bike has been scrapped
  • If the bike has been written off by insurers
  • If the bike has been imported
  • If the bike has been exported
Here is an example of a basic history check on site:
Some bikes on Auto Trader contain a full history check, this will tell you:
  • 1. If the bike has been stolen
  • 2. If the bike has been scrapped
  • 3. If the bike has been written off for insurance purposes
  • 4. If the bike has been imported
  • 5. If the bike has been exported
  • 6. If there is any third-party interest in the bike
  • 7. If the bike has any mileage discrepancies
  • 8. If the bike has changed colour
  • 9. If there is any outstanding finance on the bike
  • 10. If there have been any plate changes
Here is an example of a full history check on site:
Why can’t I see a vehicle check on the bike I want?
Over half the bikes on Auto Trader Bikes have a free vehicle check on, if you cannot see this on the advert unfortunately this is because we're missing some information so we're unable to complete a check at this time.
If you cannot see a check on the advert, request all the information in a check from the seller.
