Buying a used car can save money, but it also carries risk. A car may look clean, drive well, and have a good advert, but still have hidden problems such as outstanding finance, previous write-off history, mileage issues, stolen markers, or MOT concerns.
What should a good vehicle history check include?
- Outstanding finance checks
- Insurance write-off checks
- Stolen vehicle markers where available
- Mileage and MOT history checks
- Vehicle identity and specification details
- Tax, MOT, and registration information
Why check before buying?
A history check gives you a clearer picture before you hand over money. It can help you walk away from a risky vehicle or ask better questions before agreeing a deal.
