About CarCheckReport

UK's leading AI-powered vehicle history check service, helping thousands of car buyers make informed decisions every day.

Our Story

CarCheckReport was created with a straightforward goal: to give UK car buyers a simple, affordable way to check a vehicle's history before committing to a purchase. Too many people buy used cars without knowing the full picture — hidden finance, clocked mileage, write-off history — and we wanted to change that.

We built our platform around trusted, official data sources. Our reports are powered by Experian — one of the UK's leading vehicle data providers — alongside DVLA and DVSA records. This means the information you receive is the same quality of data used by dealerships, insurers and finance companies across the country.

Every report also includes an AI-assisted risk summary that highlights key findings in plain English, making it easier to understand what matters most. Whether you're a first-time buyer or an experienced trader, CarCheckReport is designed to help you make confident, informed decisions.

AI That Understands Vehicles

Our AI engine analyses millions of data points across DVLA records, MOT histories, insurance databases, and market trends to generate a comprehensive risk assessment for every vehicle.

Machine Learning Natural Language Processing Pattern Recognition

Intelligent Risk Scoring

Our AI assigns a dynamic risk score to each vehicle by cross-referencing data patterns across stolen records, write-offs, finance agreements, and mileage anomalies.

AI-Generated Summaries

Instead of raw data tables, our AI produces clear, human-readable summaries that explain exactly what the vehicle history means for you as a buyer.

Mileage Anomaly Detection

Advanced pattern recognition detects mileage clocking and discrepancies by analysing MOT readings, service intervals, and historical usage patterns over time.

Our data standards

Where does the data come from?

Every CarCheckReport queries official UK government and industry databases in real time. We do not use cached or outdated records. Our primary sources include:

  • DVLA — vehicle registration, keeper history, tax status
  • DVSA — MOT test results, mileage readings, advisories
  • PNC — Police National Computer stolen vehicle markers
  • MIAFTR — Motor Insurers' Anti-Fraud and Theft Register (write-off data)
  • Finance industry registers — outstanding HP, PCP and lease agreements

How do we ensure accuracy?

We take the following steps to maintain the accuracy and reliability of every report:

  • Real-time queries — data is fetched live at the moment you run a check, not pre-cached
  • Multi-source cross-referencing — our AI compares data across all sources to flag inconsistencies
  • Regular audits — our data team audits report accuracy against known outcomes
  • Transparent reporting — we show you the source of each data point, not just a pass/fail
  • Editorial review — all guide content is reviewed by our automotive and legal team
