Great company. The free check is quite handy when browsing for cars. I always use the paid comprehensive check when actually buying a car. I wouldn’t go elsewhere.

Everything I wanted to know, and much more. Excellent free service with the option much more info. Perfect for what I needed and as simple as putting in the registration number.

Having access to the complete MOT history. Being able to review failure points and conclude as too whether the vehicle details had been misrepresented by the seller.

Unfortunately, we are not always able to find service history information. Our apologies for this. Have you already contacted us through our contact form? If so, you have likely already received your refund. We’d be happy to hear from you.

Don't waste your money

Website offered 2 car check offer for £9.99. when I went to pay it changed to £19.99. I paid figuring what the hell it's only a tenner. Got the report for my car which is "ok" though not detailed as stated and not accurate. Input the reg for the other car and it wanted me to pay again! No menu to access. Utterly ridiculous and useless. Avoid at all costs. These companies are just basic checks with some credit checks for finance and write off info. Where's the refund button on the website hmm?
