The Service History Half: Proof of Maintenance

The Service History portion of your report pulls verified records directly from manufacturer dealership systems, the same data the franchised network uses to track services, recalls and warranty work. You'll see every recorded service event with date, mileage, work performed and the dealership that carried it out.

Coverage across 39 brands. Full service history coverage for 20 major brands and additional coverage across 19 more, including Ford, Vauxhall, Volkswagen, BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Nissan, Mini, Porsche, Jaguar, Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Volvo, Škoda and SEAT. Coverage is strongest for vehicles from Model Year 2012 onwards that have been serviced at a franchised dealership.

Why this matters when buying. Cars with a complete dealership service record typically sell for £1,500–£3,000 more than equivalent vehicles with missing or unverifiable history. The Full Check lets you verify the maintenance story before you commit, or to negotiate the price down if anything's missing.

The Vehicle History Half: Finance, Write-Offs, Stolen

The Vehicle History portion of your report is built from live Experian data combined with DVLA and DVSA feeds. You'll see whether the car is subject to outstanding finance, whether it has ever been written off, recorded as stolen, or flagged with high-risk markers.

Outstanding finance. If a car is still under a PCP, HP, conditional sale or lease agreement, the legal owner is the finance company, not the seller. We show the lender name, agreement type, start date and settlement status. Never buy a car with active finance unless the seller can prove it has been settled in full.

Insurance write-off categories. Cat N covers non-structural damage, Cat S structural damage, Cat B severe damage where the vehicle should not return to the road, and Cat A total destruction. The report shows the category, the date of loss and the insurer where available.

Stolen and export markers. A live check against the Police National Computer surfaces any active stolen status, and DVLA export markers flag vehicles registered abroad but advertised in the UK, a common signal of cloning or fraudulent registration activity.

The report also covers keeper history, plate change history, colour changes, import/export status and the vehicle's full DVLA-recorded specification.

Verify Vehicle Identity & Prevent Fraud

Verifying a car's identity is one of the most important steps before buying. Plate cloning, altered logbooks and tampered VIN markings are all used to disguise stolen or written-off cars on the second-hand market.

The Full Check compares the physical details on the car (VIN plates, stamped chassis numbers, registration mark) with the DVLA-recorded values. Any inconsistency is a clear signal to investigate further. A vehicle's VIN should appear identically on the windscreen base, the driver's side door frame, in the engine bay and stamped into the chassis. A mismatch with the DVLA record is one of the strongest warning signs of cloning.

Stolen markers come directly from the Police National Computer. If a car is recorded as stolen, the police can seize it at any time and the buyer has no legal right to compensation. We surface this clearly so you never proceed in error.

MOT History & Mileage Analysis

MOT history is the clearest indicator of how a car has been maintained. The report shows every test result, expiry date, advisory note and failure, all sourced live from the DVSA. The Full Check goes further by cross-checking MOT mileage against dealership service records and Experian's multi-source mileage feed (DVLA + BVRLA + RMI).

Advisory pattern analysis. When the same advisory appears year after year (tyres, brakes, suspension play, corrosion), it usually means the issue was never properly resolved. Pairing this with service history shows you whether the dealer actually addressed flagged items or whether they were left for the next owner.

Mileage trend detection. Sudden drops, frozen readings or unusually long gaps between tests often indicate odometer tampering, cluster replacements or undeclared periods of use. Steady, year-on-year growth across both MOT and service records is the signal of a transparent history. The Full Check is the only way to see both at once.

Full Check, or just one? How to decide

Three products, one decision. Most buyers benefit from the Full Check, but if you only need half the picture the standalone checks are there.

Just the Service History Check

Full Vehicle Check vs Other UK Providers

Full Vehicle Check: frequently asked questions

What does the Full Vehicle Check include?
The Full Vehicle Check bundles our Service History Check and our Vehicle History Check into one report. You get official manufacturer dealership service records (service dates, mileage, work performed, dealership) alongside outstanding finance, insurance write-off categories, police stolen markers, mileage anomalies, MOT history and the full DVLA specification. £17.99 total, saving you £5 versus buying both checks separately.
Is the Full Vehicle Check the same as an HPI Check?
HPI Check is a brand name for one provider's vehicle history product. Our Full Vehicle Check covers the same core background data (outstanding finance, write-off, stolen, mileage) using live Experian data, plus official manufacturer service history records that HPI Check does not include. Both products draw from the same underlying registers; ours adds the maintenance record that buyers typically want before paying.
Why is the Full Check cheaper than buying both checks separately?
Buying the Service History Check (£12.99) and Vehicle History Check (£9.99) separately costs £22.98. We bundle them as the Full Vehicle Check for £17.99, a £5 saving, because most buyers benefit from both and we would rather price for the genuine use case than make the bundle a premium tier.
Can I run a Full Vehicle Check by registration plate?
Yes. A UK registration plate is enough to pull every record in the report. If you prefer, you can also use the 17-character VIN from the V5C logbook. You do not need any documentation from the seller.
How long does it take to get the Full Vehicle Check report?
Under a minute in most cases. The Vehicle History portion runs live against Experian, DVLA and DVSA. The Service History portion queries manufacturer dealership systems directly. Both halves are combined into a single PDF and delivered on-screen and via email within seconds of payment.
Does the Full Vehicle Check work on any UK car?
The Vehicle History portion works on any DVLA-registered vehicle, regardless of age or make. Service History coverage spans 39 manufacturer brands, with the strongest coverage on vehicles from Model Year 2012 onwards that have been serviced at a franchised dealership. Coverage levels vary by manufacturer.

Why Buy the Full Vehicle Check?

Two checks, one report, one price. The Full Check brings together our official manufacturer service history records and our complete Vehicle History Check so you have the maintenance story and the legal background in a single PDF. Save £5 against buying them separately.
