Bought a Golf from a dealer and ran the check the night before I paid the deposit. The finance flag came back on the VIN. The advert never mentioned it. I walked away. The report is plain, but that outstanding-finance line was the bit I needed.

Used it on a 2017 Civic I was viewing on a Wednesday evening. The report landed in about two minutes. Mileage matched the service book the seller had on the passenger seat. The PDF is cramped, and the keeper history could be labelled more clearly, but I got what I paid for.

Checked plate WX68 before a Saturday viewing. The report said nothing about a Cat N from 2019. The garage found it on their own system the following Monday. I would not use this as the only check before handing over money.

Priya, a Cat N marker should have been on that report. We have asked the data provider to recheck WX68 and we will email you what comes back. A garage inspection is still worth doing before you pay.

Ran it on a van I was about to bid on at a weekday auction. Outstanding finance, still in someone else's name. I took the report to the desk and they pulled the lot. Saved me a very expensive afternoon.

Colour and spec were right. The stolen-vehicle line just said clear, with no date for when that check was last refreshed. Fine as a first look. I still paid for an AA inspection before I bought it.

£9.99 and the report came back “no data” on a 2014 Focus that has been on the road for years. Support replied with a template two days later and would not refund. I ended up using a different checker the same evening.
UnpromptedTom, a “no data” result on a 2014 Focus should not have been charged. We have refunded the £9.99 to the card you used. Sorry the first reply was a template.

Did three cars in one weekend. Two were clean. One had a write-off marker the seller had talked around. Worth it for that third car. The site looks dated, and the checkout asked for the card twice, which made me pause, but the reports matched what my mechanic said on Monday.

The seller got annoyed when I asked for the VIN off the windscreen. That was the tell. The report showed the mileage dropping by about 30,000 between 2021 and 2023. I left. The V5 I saw later matched the numbers in the report.

Photographed the chassis plate because the seller only wanted to give me the number plate. Colour and engine size matched. It did not tell me about the worn clutch, which a paper report never will. Useful for the paperwork side, then take it for a drive.

Fine if you want a quick look before you travel across the city. I would not treat the market-value figure as gospel. It put the car about £1,400 above anything similar I could see on Auto Trader that week.
FacebookUnpromptedBen, the market-value line is a guide from recent advertised prices, not a promise of what a car will sell for. We are making that label clearer on the PDF.
