United Kingdom Car registration finders?

Question

Just bought an m3 BMW 98' in the Uk, and wondering how to find out information on it, i have the reg details.

Any sites to search more info when i have the reg?

Answer 1

RAC do a HPI check for £5

They check the history of the vehicle for you.

Including if it`s stolen or ever been in an accident,that sort of stuff.

Answer 2

You should really have checked BEFORE you bought the car, but anyway, you can send a text to TheCheck.co.uk, and they'll send you a text back with any warning signals.  They charge £3 for this service

Answer 3

try

www.dvla.gov

thats the website for the dvla so any info you should find on there or there will be a link to different sites from there

Answer 4

Hi. I'm 18 and when i was buying my first car i was strongly advised by a friend to get a car history check due to it being a Golf. Having looked on auto trader i'd found a mk iv GT Tdi i liked.

With a car history check only costing £18.95 i thought it was worth it just for peace of mind. To my horror i found out it had been written off due to a split fuel tank. The company i used is called "car check" there website is  

www.carcheck.co.uk

According to the website- "1 in 3 used cars has a hidden history. Around 250,000 cars have been insurance write offs but are back on the road. 400,000 cars are stolen annually. Car Check can provide a full report on the history of any used car."  

Unfortunately no sites offer a free car history but for a one off payment of just less than £19 which could potentially save you thousands in repairs it's well worth it.

Hope this is of some help. Joe
