Our free car check

We compile our free car check data from over one hundred individual data points from millions of vehicles to give you the information that matters most. Helping you buy used cars with confidence.

We provide access to this vehicle data to empower consumers with the information they need to make informed decisions about used car purchases. Buying a car can be a significant investment, and many automotive consumers want to be sure they are making a sound decision. By providing free access to car check data, we aim to promote transparency and fairness in the used car market.

Why is the car check free?

We believe everyone should have access to independently verified, trustworthy information about a vehicle they are considering purchasing. By making as much of this information free and easily accessible, automotive consumers can get a more complete picture of a vehicle’s history, which can help them avoid potential issues or unexpected bills further down the road.

This, in turn, can help build trust between consumers and the used car market, leading to more informed decisions and better outcomes for consumers and motor traders alike.

These checks are essential when buying a used vehicle and, if not completed, could result in you losing some or all of your money.
