Avoid this company and do not fall for the special offer of a one third discount for 2 reports. If you are lucky you will get the first one but from my experience you won’t get a second despite contac... See more

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

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.

Where is my refund?????

Hi, can someone please get back to me about my message i left a couple of days ago....

No Service History information when paid for a premium report which should include this.

Impossible to contact anyone. Please advise how I get a full refund as the service I paid for is misleading and incorrect.

Thank you

Peace of mind

When you buying vehicle with your hard-earned cash,
It's peace of mind knowing the vehicle you are buying is legitimate. And its history right down to servicing.
Carcheck.co.uk ticks all the boxes for me, knowing that I would lose my money of vehicle I'm buying

As a general check on the car I…

As a general check on the car I purchased via Auto Trader, this independent site is Totally accurate on all specifications. If I ever needed to gain more information, I would revisit and register ( at a cost) for a more extensive report. Very satisfied.

Avoid

Avoid, ran two checks, my car and a car I was buying. My car came back as stolen and it isn't, additionally my car doesn't appear as stolen with the Met police DVLA and HPI. I have tried to get in contact with them and have had zero response. No direct phone line just a web message page that they don't answer. Head office in Holland also zero response. Good Luck.

Beware this company is foreign based

Beware this company is foreign based. Paid for a report. Received the report. This car had done 25,000 miles. The report came back and said the last service was done at 40,000. I thought I been ripped off. I had a sleepless night and was going to take the car back to the dealer the next day. Then it crossed my mind. Is the 40K , killometers? Yes it was. If I try and sell the car I will have to convince the buyer that its killometers and I am not trying to pull a fast one. Use s UK based firm

Service history is computer generated and false

Service history is computer generated and false, which is what I really used the site for. My car is a Renault Clio, year 2010, it listed a total of 12 services, the first being 2017-03-27, at 4,553 miles, so 7 years after it was new! And it then had a total of 12 services listed the last on 2020-03-17 at 6,220 miles. Wow only 6,220 miles in 10 years and 12 services! Getting money back through my bank, no garage details or anything. Very disappointing indeed
