Cheap As Checks Launches the UK's Cheapest Full Car Check from £7.99

ServiceStamp Team4 min read

Looking for an affordable car check before buying a used vehicle? Our partner company Cheap As Checks has launched what is officially the UK's cheapest full car history check — just £7.99 for a comprehensive report covering finance, stolen markers, write-offs, and more.

Why We're Excited About This Partnership

At ServiceStamp, we specialise in one thing: manufacturer service history. We access dealer databases that general check providers cannot reach. But we know that buyers also need to check for outstanding finance, stolen status, and insurance write-offs before purchasing a used car.

That's where Cheap As Checks comes in. They focus on delivering a full HPI-style vehicle check at a price that makes sense — because a car check shouldn't cost more than a portion of chips.

What Cheap As Checks Offers

Every full report includes 50+ checks from official UK sources:

  • Outstanding finance check — See active finance agreements before you buy (data from Experian)
  • Police stolen check — Verify the vehicle hasn't been reported stolen
  • Write-off and insurance history — Check for Category S, N, C, or D write-offs
  • MOT history and mileage check — Track MOT results and spot mileage inconsistencies
  • Keeper and registration changes — Track previous keepers, V5C updates, and plate changes
  • Safety recall alerts — See outstanding manufacturer recalls and safety notices
  • Vehicle valuation — Know what the car is actually worth
  • £10,000 guarantee — Peace of mind protection included

The Price That Changes Everything

At £7.99, Cheap As Checks undercuts the big names like HPI, AA, and RAC by a significant margin. But here's what makes it even better:

Automatic loyalty discounts: The price drops by £1 with each report you run, down to just £4.99 for life. If you're a trader or regularly buy vehicles, this adds up fast.

They also offer a free car history check that includes MOT history and key vehicle data — perfect for a quick look before committing to the full report.

How It Works

  1. Enter your reg — Start with a free DVSA MOT history check in seconds
  2. Official data sources — They pull trusted signals from DVSA, DVLA, Experian, and UK Vehicle Data
  3. Instant results — See your free MOT history instantly, then unlock the full report if needed
  4. Automatic discounts — Loyalty pricing drops with each report

The Complete Used Car Check Strategy

For complete peace of mind when buying a used car, we recommend running both checks:

CheckWhat It CoversPrice
ServiceStampManufacturer service history, dealer records, maintenance verification£9.99
Cheap As ChecksFinance, stolen, write-off, MOT, keepers, valuations£7.99
TotalComplete vehicle history£16.98

Together, these two reports give you:

  • Verified service history from manufacturer databases
  • Confirmation the car isn't stolen or written off
  • Any outstanding finance that could mean the car gets repossessed
  • Full MOT history with mileage verification
  • Previous keeper information

That's comprehensive due diligence for under £17 — less than what some providers charge for a single check.

Why Cheap Checks Matter

Here's the thing: a vehicle check isn't a luxury. It's the minimum you should do before handing over money for a used car. If the price is too high, people skip it. That's when things go wrong.

Cheap As Checks set their pricing so the check is easy to say yes to. More checks mean fewer nasty surprises for UK car buyers.
