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.

Been using this for this week for various car checks and find it to be easy and quick to use.
The only thing I found is I bought the 2 car check option, used one of the codes to download a car check, then went for the second car to download, but can't find where to input the second code to download it.

Invaluable for used car checking
I use this site a lot at the moment while searching for a good used car to buy. The MOT history data is invaluable as it identifies any major problems such as brakes, suspension etc. Unless a car has an MOT pass rate of 80% or more I don’t bother looking at it any further. And it’s free!

NOT HAPPY!!
I've just used car check to check a vehicle and on the website it says £9.99 for X2 car checks so I thought that's not bad and went ahead and paid, but it turns out it isn't £9.99 it's £19.99 as they have the £9.99 in big bold numbers tempting you to buy it then once you pay you find out it's double as underneath the £9.99 in really small numbers it says £19.99.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and that the pricing was not as clear as it should have been. To clarify: one Car Check report costs £14.95, or you can choose the option of two Premium Checks at £9.99 each (£19.99 total).
We understand this was confusing, and we’ll work on making the information more transparent on our website. As a gesture of goodwill, we have issued you a full refund.
