▸ EV & Hybrid · UK Network
evcarchecks.com is built for the trade side of UK vehicle data. The same lookups that sit behind retail checks, exposed at a pace that suits a forecourt or auction lane rather than a customer reading on a phone. EV checks covering battery state-of-health, range degradation, charging history and UK vehicle provenance.
Data sourced live from DVLA, MIAFTR, PNC 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 trade-facing side of the network.

Where the manufacturer's diagnostic data is accessible — through the vehicle's OBD port for most post-2018 EVs — the report includes an estimated state of health (SoH) expressed as a percentage of original rated capacity. The figure is an estimate, not a warranty-grade reading. Below 80% SoH, expect a noticeable reduction in real-world range.
For full hybrids and plug-in hybrids, the report includes both the traction battery health and the EV-only range as recorded by the manufacturer. PHEV batteries typically degrade faster than full-EV batteries because they cycle more frequently between high and low state-of-charge.
The data shown here is pulled at lookup time from DVLA's vehicle record, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency MOT history, the Motor Insurance Anti-Fraud and Theft Register (MIAFTR) for write-offs and the Police National Computer feed for theft markers. Finance information is matched against the UK lender register. Nothing is cached for more than 24 hours, so a check run today reflects the record as it stood today rather than a stale snapshot.
/ Brand consolidation
evcarchecks.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, the Police National Computer feed for theft markers and the UK lender register for outstanding finance. The team, the underwriting partners 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 evcarchecks.com continue to resolve here. If you were referred to evcarchecks.com by a previous report, broker or print listing, this is the right page — there is no further redirect to chase.

It's an estimate derived from the manufacturer's diagnostic feed where accessible, not a warranty-grade reading. Below 80% SoH, expect a noticeable reduction in real-world range. For a warranty-grade reading, a dealer diagnostic test is required.
The report includes both traction battery health and EV-only range as recorded by the manufacturer. PHEV batteries typically degrade faster than full-EV batteries because they cycle more frequently.
Most UK-sold EVs carry an 8-year/100,000-mile battery warranty, typically guaranteeing the battery to a minimum SoH (commonly 70%) at warranty expiry. The check returns the remaining term and threshold.
Frequent DC rapid charging (50kW+) at high state-of-charge accelerates capacity loss on most current chemistries. The report includes the ratio of DC to AC charging events where available, so you can see how the previous owner treated the battery.
