Name: Expert Car Check — Forensic Vehicle Report
Brand: Expert Car Check

Question 1

What if no finance is found?

Accepted Answer

That is good news. The report will show a clear finance marker with a timestamp, recording what our contracted UK data provider held at the moment of the check. For most buyers this is the single most useful data point.

Question 2

How does this compare to a traditional vehicle history check?

Accepted Answer

We cross-reference UK registers used by established vehicle history providers — DVLA, DVSA, MIAFTR, and contracted stolen-vehicle and outstanding-finance data — but present them in a single narrative rather than a raw data dump. We do not query the Police National Computer directly; only UK police forces have that access. Coverage varies by record type. Our Gold and Platinum tiers also include mileage anomaly detection and plate/VIN provenance. Expert Car Check is an independent UK vehicle history platform and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any other provider.

Question 3

What does the Gold report include?

Accepted Answer

Gold covers provenance: outstanding finance, insurance write-off category, stolen-marker status, mileage anomaly detection, and plate/VIN provenance, where those records are available.

Question 4

Are the prices one-off or subscription?

Accepted Answer

All paid tiers are one-off per vehicle. There is no recurring subscription, no auto-renewal, and no account lock-in. Pay once, get the report, done.

Question 5

How quickly will I get my report?

Accepted Answer

Reports are generated as soon as each data source responds. We do not publish a fixed completion time: response speed depends on the third-party registers, and a register under maintenance will take longer. You will see progress as each source is queried.
