01 · TRUST

Data sourced from DVLA, MIAFTR, contracted stolen-vehicle data and the UK lender register at lookup time.

02 · TRUST

Typical lookup completes in under one second from the UK.

03 · TRUST

Built and supported in the UK as part of the consumer side of the network.

01

Where the underlying records come from

DVLA holds registration, keeper counts, VED and technical detail. DVSA holds MOT tests and advisories. MIAFTR is the insurance industry's own total-loss register. Stolen-vehicle markers come from contracted UK data providers, which aggregate insurer theft notifications and police-issued alerts. The finance position comes from participating UK lenders. Each finding in the report names the register it came from, so nothing is presented as fact without a source.

02

Security markings and recovery

Datatag and similar forensic marking schemes register components against the owner, and police recovery rates are measurably better for marked machines. The check returns the stolen-vehicle marker held by our contracted UK data provider; the marking scheme is separate, and worth asking the seller to transfer where one is fitted.

03

Theft markers

UK motorcycle theft is concentrated in London, Manchester and the West Midlands and is heavily weighted toward sportbikes and small-displacement learner machines. The stolen-vehicle marker returned by this report comes from contracted UK data providers and is requested at the moment of lookup.

/ Brand consolidation

motorbikestolencheck.com is now Expert Car Check

motorbikestolencheck.com has merged into Expert Car Check. The motorcycle-specific lookup, frame and engine-number checks remain — the rest of the platform has grown around them. 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 motorbikestolencheck.com continue to resolve here. If you were referred to motorbikestolencheck.com by a previous report, broker or print listing, this is the right page — there is no further redirect to chase.

/ Common questions

Questions buyers ask about motorbikestolencheck.com

Is track-day use on the report?+

No. Track-day history isn't on DVLA records and isn't a write-off in itself. Useful in-person signs: aftermarket rearsets, brake-line markers, lever scars from low-side incidents. Ask the seller.

What's the most common motorbike scam?+

Ringing — putting the frame of a stolen bike onto the engine and paperwork of a wrecked donor. The check returns the DVLA-recorded frame and engine numbers; compare them physically at viewing.

How do I read the engine number?+

On most UK motorcycles, the engine number is stamped on a casing face — typically below the cylinder block or on the crankcase. The first few characters are the manufacturer's code; the remainder is the unique number. The full string should match the V5C.

Does forensic marking help?+

Recovery rates for marked machines are measurably better. The theft check covers the contracted stolen-vehicle register marker; marking schemes are separate registrations and should be transferred to you at sale.
