How Our Vehicle Check Works
Want to know a car’s history? Our vehicle check service makes it super easy. Just type in the car’s registration number, and we do all the digging for you. We look into the car’s past MOT tests, its details from the DVLA, and even if it has any charges for driving in London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ).
Once you give us the car’s registration, here’s what happens: We grab all the important stuff about the car’s MOTs and from the DVLA. We check how many miles the car was driven each year and if there are any notes you should be aware of from its MOTs. Plus, we find out if you’ll need to pay extra to drive in London. We even put together charts showing you how many miles the car travels each year, so you can see if it’s been on lots of long trips or just short drives around town.
To get started, just enter the car’s registration number. It’s that simple! Our car check gives you all the details you need to know about a car’s journey so far, helping you decide if it’s the right car for you.
