What Car Check covers

The free summary includes vehicle details, MOT and tax status, available MOT results and mileage. The full report adds provenance checks including finance, theft, write-offs, keepers, plate changes, imports, exports and scrapping, subject to source availability.

A report describes returned records at the time of the check. It cannot show every unreported event, supply a complete service file or inspect current mechanical condition. Paying for the full scope does not guarantee that every source has a record for the car.

Read the source and check date beside each result. Event dates may be older than the report. Use the methodology for how Car Check distinguishes findings from information gaps.
