UK Car History Check
Before you buy any UK used car, run a full history check. Free DVLA details are on screen in three seconds — then unlock finance, insurance write-off, mileage and valuation checks from £4.50.
A car history check turns a stranger's registration plate into a paper trail. CheckReg starts with the free DVLA record so you know the seller isn't lying about the basics — make, model, colour, year, MOT and tax status. That alone catches cloned plates and misdescribed cars.
The paid tiers layer on the data that actually costs sellers to hide. The Buyer Check adds full MOT and mileage history so you can see whether the odometer trend is honest, plus previous keeper counts and a market valuation to test the asking price. The Full Buyer Protection Check adds the checks people buy history reports for in the first place: outstanding finance, insurance write-off categories (Cat S, N, C, D), stolen markers and auction indicators.
All of it renders on screen in under three seconds and is emailed to you as a PDF for the paperwork.
A CheckReg history check pulls the vehicle's DVLA record for free — make, model, MOT status, tax and CO₂ — then optionally unlocks MOT & mileage history, outstanding finance, insurance write-off markers, stolen markers, previous keepers and market valuation depending on the tier you buy.
Under three seconds. Enter the registration, get the free DVLA summary on screen, then unlock the deeper checks — the report renders immediately and a PDF is emailed to you on request.
