How can I check if a vehicle has been involved in an accident?
You’ll need to upgrade to a paid check to find out a vehicle has been recorded as written off by an insurer. You can use our written off check service to access this information instantly.
Paid reports also include the category of write off along with additional data about the areas of the vehicle which were damaged. This can help to provide further insight into the amount of damage recorded against a vehicle.
Although a report can help to highlight recorded write offs by insurers, it’s also important to do a thorough inspection in person to check for any signs of previous damage to the vehicle.
How can I check if a vehicle has been recorded as stolen?

You’ll need to create an account to access this data, but once you’ve signed up, you can check these vehicles free of charge. It’s free to sign up and only takes a couple of minutes.
How can I check if a vehicle is clocked?
Any mileage discrepancies will be highlighted in the “Mileage Issues” section of the free report.
We scan the mileage recorded at each MOT test completed by the vehicle in order to highlight any potential clocking issues.
If you are looking to purchase a vehicle, you should consider requesting any additional service history from the seller. Mileage is often recorded during servicing or other maintenance work which could help you to identity clocked vehicles.
Additionally, it’s also worth noting that mileage issues can sometimes be caused by mistakes in the MOT records (for example, if an MOT tester incorrectly records the mileage).
If a mileage discrepancy is highlighted on the report, you should speak to the seller and request as much information as possible in order to make an informed decision.
