If you are thinking
of purchasing a second-hand or used car, van
or motorbike you will want to avoid buying
a stolen or previously damaged motor vehicle.
We believe that the information used to identify
cars, vans and motorbikes should be readily
available, at reasonable cost, to the general
public when buying a second-hand or used car,
van or motorbike.
This important data about a motor vehicle, such
as its registered Make, Model, Vehicle Registration
Number (VRM), Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
etc. is held by The Driver and Vehicle Licensing
Agency (DVLA) and is listed on the motor vehicle's
V5C document - commonly known as its log book.
This comprehensive Vehicle Status Check gives
details of the car, van or motorbike history, enabling
you to ensure that the motor vehicle you are considering
buying matches the DVLA records for that motor vehicle.
Vehicle Status Check alerts you if a car, van or
motorbike is listed with PITO( i.e. the Police) as
stolen or has a history with the Association of British
Insurers (ABI) as a vehicle which has been "written
off" by an insurance company. The results of
a Vehicle Status Check with its details of the car,
van or motorbike's history is designed to give buyers
of used motor vehicles the information needed to
negotiate the purchase of the motor vehicle or to
decline to purchase and avoid driving away with a
car, van or motorbike which may be unsafe or that
they may not be legally entitled to.
