About this app

Never agree to buy a used car without checking it first.
Free to download, My Car Check allows you to view the details of any UK registered car, van or motorcycle by searching using the registration number.

However, this information is not enough to make an important decision such as buying a used vehicle.

Since 2005 we’ve provided peace of mind for millions of people. From only a few pounds you can avoid buying a potentially un-safe, stolen or debt-ridden vehicle, saving yourself time, money and effort, not to mention the unthinkable consequences of buying an unsafe car.
Don’t risk it. Check it first. Be car confident.

For FREE, we can usually provide:
• Make & Model
• Colour
• Engine Size
• BHP
• Body Type
• Fuel Type
• Date of Registration
• CO2 Emissions
• Valuation
• MOT Status, History & Mileage
• Road Tax Information

For a fee, via in-app purchases or using credits from your My Car Check account you can get:
Our Basic Check that reveals whether the registration is:
• Stolen
• Written-off
• Scrapped
• Exported
• Colour or plate changes
• Full vehicle specification details

Our Comprehensive Check includes all the above, plus:
• Outstanding finance details

We don’t mean to brag but:
• More than 1 million downloads
• #1 iOS utility 2010 – 2014

I used to use this app all the time whenever I spotted an interesting car and wanted to know what it was, and to buy checks on cars before I bought them. I loved it. Now however, I see a nice car, put the reg in, then it says I'm not logged in and loses the reg I'd put in, by which time the car has often gone and my short term memory is useless! Very poor user experience now. Now I can't even log back into it. Very frustrating. Such a shame.
