thinking about buying your next vehicle?
hidden histories? 1 in 4 cars have a hidden history. Vehicle check, also known as car reg checks or a vehicle check report, reveal details about a car's background that the seller might not know or not want to tell you.
unpaid finance?
Millions of UK vehicles have outstanding finance, mycarcheck found more than 9,400 cases in the comprehensive checks we ran in the last 90 days!
Types of vehicle debt are HP, PCP, PCH, lease or bill of sale. The finance company typically own these vehicles, not the driver, they could repossess it. Therefore it's vital to check the finance status before buying.
stolen?
You certainly don't want to get involved with a stolen vehicle, that's a nightmare! If stopped by the police you could be left massively out of pocket when they seize the vehicle.
mycarcheck found over 2,200 vehicles with a stolen record in their history in the last 90 days.
written off?
It's essential to establish if a car has been involved in a serious crash. If it has, for safety you'll need to know if any damage was repairable. Also previous write-offs generally cost a lot less than a non-accident damaged car.
During the last 90 days we found that more than 17,200 vehicles we ran checks against had write-off records that a buyer may not have known about.
