Is a UK car history check free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can run a free vehicle history check on any UK registration. We show a preview report with key checks (Registration, MOT Tests, mileage indicators, and more). Full-depth reports are available on paid tiers if you need everything in one place.

Question 2

How many free car checks can I run each month

Accepted Answer

Signed-in customers get 3 free reports per month . Without an account, we allow 3 free checks per month per IP address . So a shared workplace or home connection may share the same allowance.

Question 3

What is included in a free car history check?

Accepted Answer

Most of our reports cover 80+ checks drawn from official and licensed UK sources. Our free-tier car history check includes: Registration details, MOT history, mileage signals, basic vehicle details and AI scoring & valuation of your car.

Question 4

Are paid vehicle reports better than the free check?

Accepted Answer

The free preview covers basic checks and is ideal for a quick decision. Paid tiers add deeper data, more detail per section, and priority processing; choose the tier that matches how seriously you’re buying.

Question 5

How long does a vehicle history report take?

Accepted Answer

Most UK car history checks are complete in under a minute. We query government and industry databases in sequence and build your report as data arrives; you’ll see live progress on screen.

Question 6

Can I check by UK registration number or VIN?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Enter a standard UK number plate or a valid 17-character VIN . If the format isn’t recognised, we’ll ask you to correct it before we start the check. Please note that our VIN-based data is strictly restricted.
