Outstanding finance
Cross-checked against the UK finance houses. If a lender holds a marker, we surface it — before you hand over the deposit.
Write-off category
A / B / S / N status pulled from MIAFTR. Salvage-title cars are flagged with the exact insurer entry date.
Mileage anomaly
Every recorded MOT reading is plotted. Any decrease or unexplained gap is highlighted with the year it appeared.
Pay once.

FAQ
Questions people actually ask.
Identity and provenance, outstanding finance, insurance write-off category (A/B/S/N), stolen status against the contracted stolen-vehicle register, mileage anomalies, full MOT history and current market valuation. Data is pulled from DVLA, DVSA, MIAFTR and contracted stolen/finance registers where available.
All four current UK categories — A (scrap only), B (body shell destroyed), S (structurally damaged, repairable) and N (non-structural). We surface the insurer entry date and, where available, the category revision history.
Every recorded odometer reading — MOT test entries and, where available, service records — is plotted against date. Any decrease, unexplained plateau or statistically improbable jump is flagged with the specific year it appeared.
Platinum reports carry a data accuracy promise: if any headline data point (finance, write-off, stolen status, mileage) is materially incorrect at the time of your report and you incur a loss as a direct result, we back you up to £1,000,000. Full terms on the /guarantee page.
If a report fails to return or is materially incomplete, we refund in full within 24 hours. One-off payments only — there is no subscription to cancel and no card kept on file.
DVLA (identity, tax and MOT status), DVSA (full MOT history), MIAFTR (insurance write-off entries), the contracted stolen-vehicle register (stolen markers) and the major UK finance houses (outstanding finance). Coverage varies by record type — see /data-sources.
