What the free car check shows
Enter the registration and open the free report. It uses DVLA and DVSA records. It shows the MOT history, whether the vehicle is taxed, untaxed or on SORN, and the vehicle details listed below. It does not show a sale price.
- MOT status, test date, pass or fail, advisories, and mileage at each test
- Tax status: Taxed, Untaxed or SORN, and a due date when we hold one. Tax detail is also on the car tax check.
- Make, model, year, colour and fuel
- VehicleScore out of 999
- Average miles per year, when that can be calculated
- ULEZ, when we hold it
How to run it
- Enter the registration above and press "Run car check".
- Read the MOT expiry, results, advisories and recorded mileages.
- Read the tax line: Taxed, Untaxed or SORN, and any due date.
- Note the VehicleScore out of 999.
Hidden History
The free report does not include outstanding finance, a stolen marker, an insurance write-off category, salvage records, import or export flags, recalls, or a dealer service book. Hidden History is the paid check for finance, write-off category, stolen markers, salvage auction records and images where held, plate changes, colour changes, previous keeper count, import and export flags, VIN confirmation, and a market valuation when available.
A £10,000 Experian data cover applies only where that cover is included. It is not a cover on every report.
