What counts as a full check

For most private buyers, a check is only useful if it covers outstanding finance, insurance write-off records, stolen markers, mileage anomalies and plate or VIN changes. A report that stops at vehicle identity and MOT history is a free-tier product — useful, but it does not include an outstanding-finance check.

When comparing prices, check whether finance is included in the base price or sold separately. That single question moves the true cost more than any headline figure.

Three things that distort the comparison

Voucher maths

A price advertised as “from £1.99” is often the per-report cost of a five-report pack. Buying one report at that provider can cost several times the advertised figure.

Add-ons

Where finance, stolen and damage checks are charged separately, a £6.99 base report can pass £15 before it answers the questions most buyers care about.

Transaction fees

Some providers list a separate handling fee at checkout. Ours is the price shown; there is no added fee.

Expert Car Check prices above are derived from the checkout catalogue. We have not re-verified every external provider in this remediation, so this page does not claim a cheapest-provider ranking. Check the linked provider before buying.

Start free, pay only if you need the provenance

The registration lookup costs nothing

It returns available vehicle identity and MOT history. If the car looks worth pursuing, upgrade for the provenance layer. See pricing or run a free check first.
