Why these pages exist
Vehicle check pricing is deliberately hard to compare. Headline prices are usually the per-report cost inside a multi-report voucher, provenance data is often sold as add-ons, and guarantee figures are quoted without the conditions attached. These pages set the published numbers next to each other and say plainly what is and is not included.
We do not publish claims about other providers’ data quality. Coverage varies by record type across the whole market, ours included: no UK provider holds a complete picture of every vehicle, and any that implies otherwise should be read carefully.
Our published prices
| Tier | Single report | Multi-report | What is listed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free check | Free | — | Registration lookup with DVLA vehicle identity and DVSA MOT history, returned when held. |
| Silver | £1.99 | — | Core vehicle history: identity, MOT record and recorded write-off markers where held. |
| Gold | £2.99 | — | Adds outstanding finance, stolen marker, mileage anomaly detection and plate/VIN provenance where held. |
| Platinum | £4.99 | — | Adds valuation context and the photographic panel scan with plain-English findings. |
All paid tiers are one-off per vehicle. There is no subscription, no auto-renewal and no voucher pack you have to buy into to reach the advertised price.
