Why do I need to use the free car check tool?

One good reason to use the free car check tool is the amount of information you get with just a single click and without paying any penny. However, that should not be the primary reason for you to use it.

Studies show that over half of used vehicles in the UK have a hidden history. Would you like to buy a car that did not pass the MOT test, have a mileage discrepancy, or is untaxed and uninsured? We are sure you don’t! Get our free vehicle history check to find about these issues and a lot more.

How to Check Car History for Free?

Submit your vehicle registration number in the search field above and click on 'Free Car Check. We will send you an instant report in a PDF file. However, bear in mind; our free car check offers limited data (see what information is included in our free car history check).

For peace of mind, we recommend you to get our full car history check available for £9.95. It includes important and critical data such as details on outstanding finance, insurance write-off, stolen, mileage anomaly, previous owners of a car, number plate change history, and so on.

By using our free reg check, you can make sure your details match with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) holds about a vehicle. Check any vehicles registered in England and Wales.

We strongly recommend upgrading to a full vehicle history check if you are close to buying one. A full car history check from us instantly reveals all key information and help you to make an informed decision.

Other Important Checks

*Terms and conditions apply

Absolutely! The DVLA charges you nothing to check if a vehicle is taxed. You can get it done through the UK government website or at Car Analytics. Both the checks will offer you the same information since we source details straight from the DVLA. If you find your car is not taxed, you can tax it online.

How to Know if the Car is HPI Clear Free?

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as HPI clear free. To get an HPI clear status from us, you have to buy our full car data check priced at just £9.95 (the cheapest vehicle data history check in the UK). It is not even half the price the official HPI Ltd charges you for an HPI clear report.

If the vehicle is not stolen, written-off, scrapped, clocked, nor has any secret history of plate change, etc., consider it as HPI clear.

Answering Your Questions

Unfortunately, you can’t We can only offer data that we get for free or that our internal/partner tools generate. You have to pay to receive information on outstanding finance, insurance write-off, etc. because they are third-party paid services.

Our free car check report is just a click away. Just give your car registration number at any time of the day and get the history report instantly. If you have paid for the report and do not receive it, please get in touch with us at [email protected], and our support team will forward it to you. In case you get a Report error, we will refund your money in a few hours.

There are three ways you can follow to check a car’s spec. The first way is to read your vehicle's owner manual. The second is to query the DVLA, giving your car’s registration number to determine the specifications. The third way is to run our free car spec check to know your vehicle’s make, model, age, fuel type, colour, no of doors, no of seats, no of gears, engine size, fuel consumption, top speed, power RPM, power BHP, power KW, and torque.

If you are considering a physical check-up of your vehicle, you should contact a mechanic or car inspection firm in the UK. Please understand, there is no such thing as car service history free, or car category free or car insured check free DVLA. For a car insurance check, query the Motor Insurance Database through askMID.com.

Sadly, no database in the UK maintains a car’s accident history. However, there are two ways to spot accident damage or history.

  1. You are adept in automobiles to examine yourself or hire a mechanic to identify the harm in a crash. Check this post for tips..
  2. You take an insurance write-off check, which reveals the category assigned to the vehicle after an accident. A written-off car means it was involved in an accident but whether it can be returned to the road depends largely on the write-off category assigned by the insurer.

The write-off check is a premium service sourced from the MIAFTR database. We have to pay them to acquire car category details. Therefore, you cannot get the facts for free of cost.

Not entirely! We have two car history plans: Free and Full. As the name implies, the Free check costs you nothing and offers information about MOT, tax, mileage, import/export, vehicle specifications, etc. The full check report is more detailed, making it easier to buy a hassle-free vehicle. Compare our plans with other data providers, and you will know why we are better.

The Brake Horsepower (BHP) is a metric that helps you determine your vehicle’s performance. Suppose you want to find out your vehicle’s horsepower number by checking your car's owner manual or simply taking our free car check. This blog explains everything about how you can run a free BHP check.

Statutory Off Road Notification or SORN status vehicles are not road worthy. It means you cannot drive them and have to follow other restrictions as well. You should never purchase a car without checking its SORN status. Here is how you can get a SORN check.

Unfortunately, you cannot identify the car category for free. If you want to check you can go with our full vehicle history report at £9.95. Learn more about car category here.

No, there is absolutely no risk to buy an imported vehicle unless it is not registered with the DVLA. Parallel or Grey import, the importer must register the car with the DVLA before selling it. To find out the imported status of a vehicle in the UK, run our car import check.
