Should be called motorscam
Should be called motorscam! I paid for 5 checks and only got 1. They said you should expect an email soon after you pay, but I got nothing.
I have emailed them and tried calling, to no avail. Customer service is terrible, stay away.

Reply from Motorscan
Hi Joel,
I'm sorry about this .Your email to us was caught by our spam filter, which is why you didn't receive a reply. That's our fault, and it's now fixed.
I have replied to you directly, but I haven't been able to locate an order matching your details, so I can't put it right until I can find it.
If you can send the registration you entered at checkout, or the payment method and time used on the order, I'll trace it and arrange for all 5 checks to be credited to your account free of charge, with our apologies.
Thanks,
Lauren G.

A Tenner Well Spent!
We recently purchased a report on a used Transit van that my sister was considering buying. The report revealed that the vehicle had previously been written off by an insurance company — something the seller had failed to disclose. Thanks to that information, she decided not to go ahead with the purchase.
Without the report, she wouldn’t have known until she tried to insure the vehicle. At £10.99, it was money very well spent, and I would definitely recommend Motorscan to anyone thinking of buying a used vehicle.

Recommend!!!
Quick and easy, and gave me peace of mind when buying a used car. Made sure that they repaired all advisories on MOT which could have turned out expensive!!

Really useful report
Really useful report. We didn’t buy the vehicle in the end but we’re suspicious of the details. It was all ok as it happened but we found the tenner was well spent.

Really useful report, better than the one I had from another major source.
Especially useful for me was knowing the dates when ownership changed

Brilliant detail. Only thing missing was details of service records and compliance with advisory notices to see what was actually done, or in my case, what had been missed that should not
