Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it essential to get a car check?

The importance of conducting a car check before finalising a purchase cannot be overstated.

• Purchasing a car with outstanding finance can leave you responsible for settling the remaining balance, and there’s a risk of the car being repossessed. To avoid paying for something you might not ultimately own, a thorough check is advisable.
• Similarly, buying a stolen car can lead to its eventual repossession, despite you having paid for it. Our stolen vehicle check verifies if the seller is the legitimate owner.
• Comprehensive checks, including DVLA vehicle checks, complete MOT history, car tax, import and export status, write-off incidents, and previous keeper details are crucial in the car-buying process. Our service covers all these aspects with one goal: to ensure your new vehicle is precisely as it has been presented, free of unexpected issues or costs.
• Additionally, our service is not limited to cars; you can also conduct checks for bikes and vans, ensuring a wide range of vehicles are covered.

What does a vehicle history check show?

Our check provides various essential details about your car. You’ll find information like the car’s tax due date, MOT expiry date, make, date of registration, year of manufacture, fuel type, and the date of the last logbook issue, among other things.

When do I get the results of my car registration check?

You receive your report almost instantly! Your detailed report will be sent to you within minutes.

Will this reg check work for my vehicle?

Yes, our service can perform a car registration check on any valid UK number plate. Whether your vehicle is SORN, uninsured, or untaxed, we can still assess its status and reveal any hidden history. If we lack information on a particular vehicle, we’ll inform you before you initiate the check.

Why is checking a vehicle so important?

When engaging in buying or selling a vehicle, thorough research is crucial. A car check is an excellent way to determine if a vehicle has been clocked, stolen, scrapped, written off, and more. Sometimes, buying a vehicle with outstanding finance, insurance claims, or unpaid parking tickets can make you liable. Thus, it’s beneficial to know a vehicle’s history before purchasing. A vehicle history check equips you with all the vital information, enabling you to make an informed decision in any scenario.

Is your car check information accurate?

Yes, our car checks are known for their accuracy, reliability, and affordability. Should you find any discrepancies, it’s likely due to delays in updates to the DVLA database. The DVLA database may take up to five days to reflect new information, so we suggest a five-day grace period before rechecking.

Should I pay for a full history check?

While our free car history report is comprehensive, we always recommend opting for the full service when buying or selling a vehicle. A paid history check offers more in-depth information, including write-off checks, police stolen checks, outstanding finance checks, and plate change history, ensuring you protect your investment and gain complete peace of mind.

Is a MOT Reg Check similar to a HPI check?

MOT Reg Check serves as a cost-effective alternative to a HPI Check, offering detailed histories of used vehicles at a lower price point.

How do I find previous owners of my car in the UK?

The DVLA can provide the names of a car’s previous owners. At MOT Reg Check, we offer a quick and easy way to see the number of past owners and how frequently the car has changed hands, aiding you in making informed decisions when purchasing a used car.

How can I check the car mileage history of a vehicle?

Our free car checker provides access to a vehicle’s mileage history. Assessing the mileage is crucial to determine if it aligns with the car’s age and condition. Conducting a mileage history check is a vital step before purchasing any used vehicle.

How do I find out the fuel type of a car?

Knowing a car’s fuel type is important before making a purchase. For instance, if you drive frequently, you might prefer a diesel car over a petrol one. Our comprehensive car checker can help you identify the fuel type, assisting you in making a cost-effective decision in the long run.

How do I find out if a car failed its MOT in the past?

If a car fails its MOT, it cannot be driven except for repairs or to a pre-arranged MOT test. Understanding a car’s MOT history, including any past failures and upcoming test dates, is crucial before purchase. Our service at MOT Reg Check includes a full history check, revealing a vehicle’s complete MOT history and any previous issues.

What is the value of my car?

Knowing a car’s value is essential for both buyers and sellers. Sellers can set a realistic price, while buyers can identify fair deals. Our comprehensive car checker provides an up-to-date estimated value by cross-referencing data from eight different valuation points, offering extensive insights into the car’s worth.
