This page explains the structure of a MyPlateCheck report so you know what the free, Buyer and Ultimate levels are designed to show.
Core report sections.
The exact values depend on the vehicle and the data available for its registration.
Vehicle identity
Make, model where available, year, fuel type, colour, engine details and emissions-related information.
Mileage history
Recorded MOT mileage plotted over time so unusual movements are easier to spot.
Ownership activity
Paid reports can include keeper changes, plate changes and V5C/logbook history where supplied.
Risk markers
Buyer reports add stolen, write-off and related history markers that are not part of the free DVLA/DVSA layer.
Finance & salvage
Ultimate adds finance and auction/salvage checks where the provider returns them.
Free vs paid at a glance.
