Reg Plate Check – Free & Instant Vehicle History Reports

Buying a used car isn’t just about what you see on the surface, many risks are hidden in its history. Running a car reg check helps you uncover issues that sellers may not mention, such as unpaid finance, accident write-offs, or past number plate changes.

Our vehicle history check pulls data from trusted UK sources, including DVLA, DVSA, and insurance databases, giving you insights that go beyond a quick visual inspection. By checking before you buy, you can avoid fraud, negotiate a fair price, and feel confident that the vehicle is safe and legal to drive.
