No VIN needed — we use UK registration plates only. Simply enter your full registration number (e.g. LK20 ABC, BD21 SMR). Our system supports all UK plate formats including older-style, personalised, and Northern Ireland plates.

An HPI (Hire Purchase Information) check reveals whether a vehicle has outstanding finance, has been reported stolen, or has been written off as an insurance total loss. Our Standard and Premium reports include full HPI-equivalent data sourced directly from UK lenders and insurers.

Category S means the vehicle has suffered structural damage but has been repaired. Category N means non-structural damage. Both must be declared by sellers. Our reports identify all UK write-off categories (A, B, S, N) sourced from UK insurance databases.

We retrieve the complete MOT history available from the DVSA database, which typically covers all MOT tests from 2005 onwards. This includes pass/fail status, test dates, mileage at each test, failure reasons, and advisory notices.
