What's in our premium car check report?
Our full vehicle history report is the most comprehensive and affordable car check service in the UK. It will help you to make the right decision before buying your next used car. Our full vehicle check provides everything from basic checks, important checks and critical checks, which include:
Car Write-Off Check determines if a vehicle has been declared a total loss or written off, including details on the type and date of the loss. It identifies categories like CAT C (now CAT N) or CAT D (now CAT S) used by insurance companies when repair costs exceed the vehicle's value.
Stolen Car Check confirms if the vehicle you're considering is listed as stolen in the Police National Computer database. This free car check is vital for safeguarding against potential vehicle fraud and ensuring peace of mind.
High-Risk Car Check determines if the vehicle you are interested in is flagged as 'High Risk.' This status typically indicates that a third party claims an interest in the vehicle, often due to unresolved finance agreements or disputes over ownership.
Protect yourself from clocked cars with our Car Mileage Check. We verify mileage history against DVLA records to identify any discrepancies. Our free car check provides you with a detailed mileage history from the vehicle's MOT test records.
Check if the vehicle you are considering has not been unlawfully scrapped by conducting a Certificate of Destruction Check. This certificate, issued by the DVLA, verifies that the vehicle has been properly disposed of by an Authorized Treatment Facility (ATF).
What's in our basic car check report?
Our basic car check includes important checks and a 5-price band market valuation, making it great for shortlisting. Upgrade as needed.
Car Owner Check reveals the complete Keepers History, as recorded by the DVLA, including registration dates for each previous owner. Understanding the number of past owners can influence the vehicle's value.
Save on your next vehicle with our instant car valuations. Our report spans five price tiers: Dealer Forecourt, Trade, Private, Part Exchange, and Auction. This essential tool aids both buyers and sellers in making informed decisions.
Discover any historical plate changes with our basic Number Plate Check. Including the date of each plate change and the new Vehicle Registration Mark (VRM) assigned to the vehicle.
Use our VIN Check to confirm the vehicle's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) matches DVLA records. This VIN Number Lookup is crucial for verifying the car's authenticity and ensuring its documentation is accurate.
Engine Number Check
Perform an Engine Number Check to ensure that the vehicle's engine number aligns with the records held by the DVLA, the definitive source for vehicle data. This check is vital for verifying the authenticity of the vehicle's engine.
The Car Import Check helps you determine whether a vehicle has been imported. Our Car Import Export Check details grey imports and other import statuses, which is important for making informed decisions when purchasing a vehicle.

Answering Your Questions
You can check a car's history for free on our website by entering the vehicle's registration number. Our free car history check provides essential information without any cost. If you need more detailed premium data, such as outstanding finance, write-off status, and a stolen check, you can upgrade for an additional fee.
A car history check is crucial for various reasons: providing peace of mind and saving money and time.
- Hidden Issues Uncovered: A car's exterior doesn't tell the whole story. A history check reveals hidden issues like past accidents, legal problems, or odometer discrepancies. This transparency gives peace of mind and helps make an informed decision.
- Safety Assurance: By understanding a car's history, you can be confident that it's safe to drive. The check can reveal past structural damage and other safety-related concerns, giving you the peace of mind that your safety is a top priority.
- Financial Protection: Car history checks can protect you from unknowingly purchasing a car with outstanding finances. This safeguard can save you money and time by avoiding potential financial and legal complications.
- Resale Value Optimization: Armed with a comprehensive history report, you can make informed decisions about potential repairs or upgrades, which can have a positive impact on the car's resale value. This is not only a time-saver but also a money-saver in the long run.
- Overall Peace of Mind: A car history check provides comprehensive insights to help you make a well-informed decision when investing in a vehicle. This ensures you avoid potential pitfalls and have peace of mind, saving you time, money, and stress.
You can perform an online DVLA Car Check through the official website. Additionally, you can use our website to obtain the vehicle's MOT history by simply entering the registration number.
Car Analytics offers both free and paid car checks. The free check provides basic vehicle information, while the paid version offers a comprehensive report that includes additional details. Prices start at just £1.99 for the basic check and £4.99 for the full report.
It is not advisable to purchase a vehicle without an HPI check due to the higher level of risk and potential consequences.
If information is unavailable for the vehicle, it could indicate no record of the vehicle's history in the database you're checking. This might happen if the vehicle is very old, hasn't been registered, or if the records still need to be updated in the system. In such cases, you may not be able to retrieve the information you're looking for, and you might need to explore alternative methods or sources for obtaining the vehicle's history.
