  • Is the car listed as being stolen?
  • Has it previously been "written-off" and repaired?
  • Has it been imported or exported?

History Check

If it's advertised on our site
- we've checked it!

What we check…

  • If a vehicle listed on the Police National Computer as stolen
  • If a vehicle is recorded by the DVLA as scrapped, imported or exported
  • If a vehicle has been "written-off" by an insurer because it has been stolen or crashed.

What we don't check…

Good though it is, we can't check whether there is any outstanding finance or mileage anomaly on the car. For the best possible peace of mind you are strongly advised to carry out a full history and provenance check with our partner Parkers before you buy.

What our symbols mean…

Our history check found that this car is recorded as previously being exported, imported or written off.

We have been unable to perform a history check.

There are no history check alerts.

Insurance 'write offs'

Insurance compaines categorise vehicles that have been damaged in accidents as A, B, C or D.

Vehicles in categories A and B have been damaged too seriously to return to the road so you'll never see these listed on our website.

Vehicles in categories C and D can be repaired and resold. If such a car is advertised on our site you'll see this symbol.

History Check - imports

History Check - write-offs

1 in 25 cars offered for sale have previously been insurance "write-offs".
