Our system uses the latest available official information, runs checks and indicates detected problems or potential issues in a way that is easy to understand.
Take a moment to have a look at our sample vehicle report which shows the general structure of a full report and demonstrates the way the issues may be revealed.
If there is a registered security interest, the vehicle may be repossessed by the secured party to pay off the debt of the previous owner. It’s important to check for outstanding debts before you buy.
To find money owing on the vehicle, we automatically check for debts registered against the current registration plate number, past plate numbers (where applicable), the VIN and/or the chassis number.
