▸ Vehicle History · UK Network
carregcheck.com keeps the entry price low deliberately. A quick lookup should cost little enough that nobody talks themselves out of running one, with the paid detail reserved for the vehicle you have actually decided to pursue. Enter any UK number plate for an instant car reg check. MOT, tax, history and vehicle history data in seconds. Further down, the specifics: which registers are searched, how current they are and what remains invisible to all of them.
Data sourced from DVLA, MIAFTR, contracted stolen-vehicle data and the UK lender register at lookup time.
Typical lookup completes in under one second from the UK.
Built and supported in the UK as part of the consumer side of the network.
Every recorded mileage figure from MOT records, plus any submitted at change of keeper, is plotted in date order. Drops are flagged. Implausible jumps are flagged. Long flat periods with no MOT may indicate the car was off the road and should be reconciled against any SORN declarations.
For vehicles over £10,000, ex-fleet stock, anything advertised as 'just imported' or any car where the registered address sits a long way from the listing, treat a summary check as a starting point rather than the verdict. a full vehicle history report, a pre-purchase inspection at the seller's address and a finance settlement letter where applicable are the three layers that catch the cases a quick lookup will not.
The history record does not include unreported damage, cash repairs, modifications fitted between MOTs, or work undertaken under warranty without an MOT log. Treat history data as the public, verifiable trail; treat the seller's own service record and an in-person inspection as the private, unverifiable trail that fills the gaps.
/ Brand consolidation
carregcheck.com is now part of Expert Car Check — the consolidated UK vehicle-data platform that several of these older brands have joined. The data sources are unchanged: DVLA's vehicle record, DVSA's MOT history, MIAFTR for write-offs, contracted UK data providers for stolen-vehicle markers and the UK lender register for outstanding finance. The team and the support contact are the same. What's changed is that the work that was previously spread across several smaller brands now sits in one place, which keeps response times tight and the underlying registers maintained against current DVLA schemas. Bookmarks and historic links to carregcheck.com continue to resolve here. If you were referred to carregcheck.com by a previous report, broker or print listing, this is the right page — there is no further redirect to chase.

Usually a SORN period, a repair layup or a late test. The report shows SORN periods alongside test dates so the two can be reconciled; a gap with no SORN is the one worth asking the seller about.
Yes, through DVA. Digital MOT coverage before 2014 is less complete there than in Great Britain, so an older NI vehicle may legitimately show a shorter test history.
Digital MOT records start in 2005 in England, Wales and Scotland. Older tests pre-date the digital register and are not retrievable.
It provides strong evidence but not proof. The recorded figures are entered by testers at each test, so a consistent upward sequence is reassuring, while gaps between tests remain unverified.
