Finance checks
The last thing you need is to find out your new car
belongs to a finance company. 24 out of every 100 cars
that are checked for outstanding finance still remain
unpaid.
Write Off Checks
Annually 500000 cars are declared too badly damaged to
repaired for safe use by insurance companies. Even so
some are still repaired and put back on the road by
unscrupulous sellers trying to hide the history. 4 out
of 100 checks show that a vehicle at some point has been
written off.
Stolen Checks
More than 30 vehicles per day are revealed to be stolen
by data checks... vehicles which are being sold as
genuine! Its a simple but cruel fact that any car
purchased that is stolen - even when the buyer had no
knowledge of the crime - will be seized by the
authorities and unless the theft can be traced and the
criminal caught you will loose every penny you have spent. Even
if the thief is found its highly unlikely they'll have
the money which leaves you with no car and no car fund.
Clocked Checks
Around 5 out of every 100 data checks reveal
discrepancies in the vehicle's milage. When a vehicle
has its annual MOT the mileage is recorded on the
National Mileage Register. Car Data Check companies can
access over 85 million of these recordings and cross reference the indicated mileage shown on the
vehicle odometer with their data to stop buyers from
paying more than a vehicle is worth.
With all this in mind its
worth the peace of mind for less than the price of a
night out or a tank of fuel.
Below are two of the most popular checks depending on
your budget and preferences. There is no such thing as
