Number of Previous Owners/Keepers History
See the total number of vehicle keepers which has been recorded by the DVLA since the first day of registration. There is no personal information of the vehicle keepers, this request will have to be done directly with the DVLA.
Number Plate Change History
See if there is any history of vehicle number plate changes, which includes the VRM and VRM change date.
Colour Change
Check the vehicles history of any colour changes that may happened previously. This requires immediate notification to the DVLA so that the V5 can be updated.
Scrapped
Check with DVLA data to see if the vehicle you are checking has been scrapped or not.
Previous N.Ireland
Supplied by DVLA prior to 2009, this is the VRM that was on the vehicle prior to it being registered with the DVLA.
VIC Inspected
This vehicle check ensures that the vehicle registration certificate (V5C) was not issued for a car that has been stolen or cloned. This normally occurs with destroyed or scrapped cars.
VIN/Chassis Number
Check the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of a vehicle to ensure the details you have are matching with the records that DVLA holds. This is a very important check.
Engine Number
Ensure the engine number matches the records held by the DVLA.
Total Car Check Data ✅
When buying a car it is always advised that you check the history of the vehicle. This is to avoid a finding out about a hidden past that can get expensive.
Outstanding Finance Check
The vehicle check includes any finance agreement details as well as finance company details too (where applicable). Purchasing a car with outstanding finance can cause some serious issues in the future if you are unaware of it.
Insurance Write-Off (Total loss) Check
Run a check to see if the vehicle has ever been declared a write-off or total loss. This includes loss type and date. This happens when the repairs costs are higher than the value of the car.
Police Stolen Check
See if the vehicle has ever been recorded stolen with the Police. Avoid being a victim of vehicle fraud.
Certificate of Destruction
Check to see if a vehicle has been issued a Certificate of Destruction by the DVLA. This is produced when a vehicle is scrapped/destroyed by an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF).
High Risk Check
When there is a dispute – often financial related – a third party will monitor the vehicle so that it is not sold during the dispute. This check tells you if the vehicle is in fact a high risk.
Mileage Anomaly
Confirm if the mileage on display in the car is genuine or find out if there is an inconsistency with the mileage that records hold.
