Why get a Vehicle Check?
What a Vehicle Check tells you
A Vehicle Check tells you if the car is as advertised. With a Vehicle Check, you can confirm whether a car is safe and comes with a clean background before you commit to it.
What does it cost?
Peace of mind before you buy
Our vehicle check provides you with an instant car history report, so there are no costly surprises if you do decide to buy. The report includes, but is not limited to:
- Information on whether a used car has been stolen or scrapped
- Any outstanding finance attached to the vehicle
- Mileage discrepancies which could be a sign of mileage fraud
