What a Vehicle check tells you

Finance owing

Whether a bank or lender has a registered security interest. Buying a car with undisclosed finance means the lender can repossess it.

Written-off status

Whether the vehicle has been declared a total loss by an insurer. Some written-off vehicles are repaired and re-sold — this flag tells you.

Stolen records

Whether the vehicle has been reported stolen. Purchasing a stolen vehicle can result in seizure with no compensation.

A report is one part of the picture

Always verify the serial number in person and seek independent advice before purchasing.
