HPI-style check for less

A cheaper HPI check alternative that covers the same risks.

You do not need to pay £20 for a vehicle history check. CheckReg pulls the same industry data — finance, write-off, stolen, mileage — from £4.50.

  • Outstanding finance check — same industry feed
  • Insurance write-off categories (Cat S, N, C, D)
  • Stolen and salvage markers
  • MOT and mileage history
  • 5-level valuation from Vehicle Data Global
  • Priced from £4.50 — no subscription

Why an HPI-style check is worth running

Around a third of UK used cars have something in their history a seller would rather you didn't know: still on finance, previously written off, clocked, or stolen. A check that flags any of those is not a nice-to-have — it's the difference between buying a car and buying someone else's problem.

CheckReg's Full Buyer Protection Check runs the same feed of finance, insurance and stolen data that the big brands charge £15–£25 for, at £8.90. Every check is priced per vehicle — no subscription, no top-up minimums.

Common questions

How is CheckReg different to an HPI check?

CheckReg runs the same core buyer-protection checks — outstanding finance, insurance write-off category, stolen marker, mileage history and valuation — but from £4.50 for a Basic Vehicle Info report and £8.90 for the Full Buyer Protection Check. HPI is a well-known brand; the underlying data comes from the same industry sources.

Are cheaper vehicle history checks reliable?

Yes, as long as the provider pulls from the DVLA, DVSA and Vehicle Data Global feeds. CheckReg uses the DVLA vehicle record directly and Vehicle Data Global for finance, insurance and valuation data — the same feeds larger brands use.

Do I still get a PDF report?

Yes. Every paid report renders on screen and is emailed to you as a PDF, and stays saved to your account so you can pull it back up later or share a public link with a buyer or dealer.
