Best money I spent

Best money I spent!
I was all ready to spend the money and time to buy a used private car, only to find the seller had not been truthful. I will happily recommend CarVeto.

Peace of mind in a short space of time…

Peace of mind in a short space of time is everything when you just need to know the worst case scenario has been checked. Carveto just made it simple.
As if car buying wasn't hard enough at least this check service was easy!

Can't praise them enough

Can't praise them enough. It's not just the report they provide it's the fact that you can contact them about the issues raised. Emailing a human as opposed to no customer support or an AI chatbot.

They've responded promptly every day and will be sending them my 4th email to their 3rd reply after writing this. Even though I'm just getting them to help me work out what could have happened.

I wish to God I known about them and paid for this check before we bought the car {that turned out to be a Cat S write off given a perfect MOT by the garage that sold it to us.}

I'd recommend everyone using them before buying a second hand car. And the thing that sets them apart from other services is the fact that they make it easy to contact them, respond quickly, have no problem with follow ups or discussing possibilities to help you work out what could have happened, where you stand, what you can do.

I wish I'd used them 16 months ago, but let's pray the info and email support they've provided means I can win the case against the dealer who sold us a knock-off.

Brilliant company.

Can't fault this company managed to get a marker off my Matchless bike. Michelle went above and beyond what I expected from them.
If I could give them 10 star review I would.
Thank you.

Car History Information

Quick and thorough report on prospective car purchase. Recommend this service when making a vehicle purchase. Could provide negotiating advantages and save you a lot of money or help you avoid buying a liability.

Will always use these. Incredible.

Well what a relief we used this service on a van we were looking at purchasing. Too good to be true usually is. Was in this case. This report picked up its mileage had been wound back nearly 100k and there was still outstanding finance on it. Apart from being absolutely gutted about it I’ve been saved from buying a van I thought was perfect and potentially avoided a whole heap of problems.

Thank you CarVeto

Lies

I paid for a full search in which the current owner information should be included, but it was an absolute lie.
I will delete this review if refunded, since you didn´t provide with the service promised.

Dear Jen,

Thank you for your feedback. We understand your frustration regarding the information provided in your CarVeto report.

We want to clarify that our reports provide the vehicle's entire ownership history from its first registration in the UK, showing all change dates in ownership and the city or region associated with the DVLA local office of registration.

As clearly stated in our free report previews before payment, we omit personal details such as names and addresses. This is to comply with data protection regulations and ensure we do not share private information based solely on a vehicle registration number.

We are sorry that the term 'full search' caused confusion. We are reviewing our advertising materials to ensure that they are more specific about the data we provide. We also acknowledge that the phrase 'Car owner data' is vague and are reviewing this statement as well.

We are committed to addressing your concerns, and I will send you a follow-up email today with further details.

Kind regards,
Michelle Bielby

Brilliant service - will use for all my future car deals!

Brilliant service from Marcus and team!
A potential buyer had raised a mileage issue on my vehicle report that he had bought through HPI check. Fearing a potential scam or indeed a real mileage issue, I confirmed this through my own check with CarVeto. Myself and the buyer then reached out to both HPI (Solera) and CarVeto for help in rectifying the issue. HPI were worse than useless, they only wanted more money and were very slow to respond, ultimately doing nothing. However CarVeto and Marcus were the exact opposite - they got on the case promptly and managed to get the BVLRA mileage discrepancies removed by Experian so this would then reflect across all providers. CarVeto is not only cheaper but they are hands down the better service when it comes to reports for buying and selling used cars. I will definitely recommend them to others and use again myself!
