Quick checks
Sub-second UK vehicle lookups for forecourt and private-viewing use. Free summary up front, full report on demand.
The quick-check brands in this hub are designed for one specific use case: standing in front of a vehicle on a forecourt or at a private viewing, with a phone in your hand and a few seconds to decide whether to look closer or walk away. The summary view returns the headline facts in under a second; the full report sits one tap behind it.
Caz Check, Quick Free Check, Quick Motor Check, Quick Vehicle Check and Instant Motor Check are each a different brand on the same underlying lookup engine, optimised for slightly different audiences and search intents. Compare Vehicle Check is the meta layer — a side-by-side comparison of UK vehicle-check providers on data depth, price and PDF format.
For any vehicle worth more than a few thousand pounds, the quick check is the start of the diligence, not the end of it. The full report is what you run before money changes hands.

/ Common questions
- When should I upgrade to a full report?
- Before any money changes hands on any vehicle worth more than a few thousand pounds. The summary tells you whether to look closer; the full report — finance, write-off, mileage forensics, plate history — is what you run before completion.
- How fast is 'instant'?
- Typically under one second. The summary queries the cached DVLA snapshot (refreshed every 6 hours) and requests a stolen-vehicle marker check in parallel. The result is current within the same minute.
- The recorded colour is wrong — is that a red flag?
- On its own, no; repaints happen and are not always notified. Combined with a mismatched model description or a keeper location far from the seller, it becomes one of the more reliable early indicators of a cloned identity.
- What should I look at first?
- Tax status, MOT status, the make, model and colour against the advert, and the stolen marker. If any of those contradict the listing, the conversation ends before you spend anything on travel.
- Where does the summary stop being enough?
- Any vehicle over about £5,000, anything ex-fleet, anything advertised as recently imported, anything where the seller is in a hurry — the summary is the start of the diligence, not the end.
