Written by the company
Buying a second-hand vehicle is a notoriously risky business. It is almost impossible to tell a vehicle’s past just by looking at it. Our report will provide you with vital information about the history of any vehicle you may be thinking about buying and verify the information the seller has given to you.

Concerns over buying a used car from a dealer.
I was in the process of buying a used car for my wife and I had a couple of concerns. After paying a small price for this report I was totally re-assured.
There are many companies out there that do this on line but this was in my opinion the easiest and most cost effective.
It gave me much more information on the car that was not able to be supplied by the dealer or by YouTube videos.

A trustworthy platform that respects its users and doesn't coerce them into costly monthly subscriptions of £30! It's unfortunate how rare it is nowadays to find a company that truly values honesty and transparency in their pricing. I highly recommend it!

I spent £7.98 with you to find out details of the crash that caused the car to be a Cat S - none the wiser. I was recommended to your service by a YouTuber but I am not impressed. I have now seen photos - my mistake it seems - could it be clearer how much it costs to see photos up front ?

Every report on our website includes a search for salvage auctions. You also have the option to purchase the 2.99 product. However, please note that the search does not guarantee the availability of photos, as not all vehicles have been listed in auctions.
Much cheaper than some of the others
Much cheaper than some of the others but still gives enough information.

Doesn’t work
Paid for a report that says it is “disabled” and to try again later. Not helped by the “no-reply” email address. Shoddy stuff.

Good level of information for a reasonable price.
Good level of information, for a reasonable price. One thing that would be nice (and I used another site to obtain the information) would be details of when the car was previously advertised, along with the asking price (obviously this only uses certain sources but it is useful).

Their negligence nearly cost me £5,000
Tried to sell my vehicle through Motorway who use vcheck for their vehicle reports, despite being advised by vehicle Ancestry that my vehicle had not been used as a Taxi but another vehicle A Mercedes had used the same registraion number while a taxi prior to it being assigned to my vehicle, vcheck removed the information about the other vehicle from their report resulting in it showing my vehicle being wrongly creited as having been a taxi. This resulted in weeks of delay in being able to sell the vehicle and my own investigations to uncover their negligence. Lots of stress and time wasted. Their tampering with the information and incorrect reporting would likely have resulted in a £5,000 loss without my own investigations to uncover the negligence.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand that selling a vehicle can be a stressful process, and we regret that you experienced difficulties in this instance.
To clarify, Vcheck does not alter or remove information but presents data exactly as received from our trusted third-party sources. In cases where historical taxi records involve private plate transfers, we follow industry best practices by displaying the taxi usage marker initially and conducting further verification when queried—which was done in your case. Once this was reviewed, the report was updated accordingly.
While we acknowledge that this process may have caused a short delay, it was undertaken to ensure accuracy and prevent errors that could arise due to manual data entry mistakes from licensing authorities. However, we must emphasize that Vcheck was not responsible for any financial loss, as the vehicle’s actual history and market value remained unchanged.
We are always happy to work with customers and dealers to clarify any discrepancies, and we remain committed to providing transparent and reliable vehicle history reports. If you have any further concerns, we encourage you to reach out directly so we can assist further.

Good check delivered quickly and seems to be accurate as far as I can tell. It doesn’t provide pictures unlike other services, and the output is fairly basic, but it’s good value. Would use again.
