Our platinum check is a required check if you intend to purchase a vehicle. As well as all the checks set out in the Gold and Free checks below it provides an outstanding finance check. This is important when buying a new used car because a lot of vehicles in the UK are financed. This means they are owned by finance provider until the owner/registered keeper has repaid the loan against the vehicle in full. If you buy a vehicle that has outstanding finance you could be responsible for the repayment of the loan held against the vehicle and may be repossessed. This means you could lose the vehicle and the money you paid to purchase it.
When should I use the Gold Check?
A Gold Check* is an enhanced research tool and gives you a lot of key information about a vehicle for as little as £3.99 on top of everything our free basic check provides. This includes a warning if a vehicle has been in an accident leading to it being an insurance write off (Categories A/B/C/D/S/N) , scrapped or salvaged.
*The Gold check does not include a finance check to see if the loan has a loan against it which is recommended if buying a vehicle.
When should I use a free check?
The free basic check provides a lot of data about the vehicle you are enquiring about confirming the specification of the vehicle, MOT information and mileage history. We recommend the free check as the initial enquiry or research into a vehicle.
We recommend our Gold and Platinum checks if you are intending to purchase the vehicle you are enquiring about.
