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.

What a con done the free check on a used vehicle "appears to have a possible theft alert on record " with a red exclamation mark , and low & behold after coughing up £13 for a full report nothing appeared on the full report , what a low way of getting someone to spend the cash and nothing on file must be desperate for business if they have to bend the facts in order to get peoples money .

Excellent and specific details

Car check may not be the cheapest check you will find but it is certainly worth the payment for the most in depth check you can ask for.
The difference of a few pounds can pay dividends if you are serious about a car purchase and want to know what spec the car left the factory with.
Do not hesitate to book your next check....
Thank you.

Absolute scam

I tried to purchase my service history as I have lost my log book. The website did not let me select any report so I thought you got to select this after making the payment however I was wrong. They just email you the report you already have full access to. I will be contacting the company to request a full refund. Totally misleading and absolutely useless.

Dissapointing service, incorrect information

Hi, I purchased 2 checks with £19 for my first car this Dec 2025, the carcheck report says the car had first service done in Germany with 0 mile mileage on the registration date.
I enquired the same with the dealer and they have confirmed it’s WRONG information, the car was manufactured in UK itself and it was never serviced outside UK.
I have raised the complaint to carcheck , but got no response!
Very unprofessional and dissapointing service.
It’s completely waste of money!

Don’t display the real prices correctly and trick you into spending

Led me to believe there had been past damage to my car to make me buy the report and when I went to buy the report it listed 2 for £9.99 however in the fine print it said £9.99/report so when I went to check out it was too late and I had already paid. Not happy as I am not down £20 and found out there was no past damage to my car as I had already expected. They are money gabby for charging £20 for two car checks and not displaying the real price well. Also not happy about them manipulating you into doing the damage checks by making it look like there have been damage reports.
