We validate the UK registration and request the public vehicle information needed for the free report.
How it works
Start free. Go deeper only when the car is worth it.
MyPlateCheck is designed to help used-car buyers move from basic public facts to deeper buyer-risk information without paying before they need to.
Three simple stages.
The flow is deliberately straightforward so you can use it while viewing a car, at home, or before travelling to a seller.
Review the free facts
Check tax, MOT status, MOT history, recorded mileage, vehicle identity, CO₂ information and an estimated current road-tax rate where possible.
Upgrade only if needed
Buyer adds key history markers. Ultimate goes further with finance and auction/salvage information where supplied by the paid data providers.
What each data layer is for.
DVLA vehicle data
Used for core vehicle identity, tax status and registration-related information available through the public vehicle enquiry service.
DVSA MOT history
Used for MOT status, test history, mileage readings and recorded advisories or defects where available.
Paid buyer-risk data
Used only after a paid report credit is redeemed. It can include stolen, write-off, keeper, plate-change, V5C, finance and salvage-related information depending on the report tier.
Saved report snapshots
Paid reports are saved as report snapshots so customers can return to the information they purchased without rerunning paid supplier calls unnecessarily.
Important limitations.
A vehicle-history check reduces uncertainty; it does not replace inspecting the vehicle, checking documents, verifying the seller and carrying out appropriate mechanical checks.
Check the vehicle before you commit.
Start with the free report and only pay for deeper history if you need it.
