Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about car check comparison on Carhealth
Value comes down to what's included versus what you pay. A full Carhealth report starts at £4.99 and includes an outstanding finance check, insurance write-off status (Cat A/B/S/N), mileage verification, stolen-vehicle check, scrapped and imported status, full MOT history and an AI analysis with a buyer's guide. Many single checks on the market cost up to £37.99 for a comparable set of data. Compare the data actually included, not just the headline price, and check whether a subscription or an auto-renewing add-on is bundled in.
A basic or 'free' check usually shows only public DVLA data: make, model, tax and MOT status. It won't reveal the things that cost you money, such as outstanding finance, an insurance write-off, mileage discrepancies, or a stolen marker. A full history report queries finance and insurance databases and cross-checks mileage records, so you learn the hidden history before you buy. A Carhealth full report (from £4.99) includes all of this plus an AI analysis of the vehicle.
No. Carhealth is pay-as-you-go: you buy the single report you need and that's it. There's no membership, no recurring fee, and no auto-renewing add-on attached to your purchase. If you want to check several cars, our multi-report bundles bring the per-report price down, but you are never signed up to anything ongoing.
Every report includes an outstanding finance check, insurance write-off status (Cat A/B/S/N), mileage verification, stolen-vehicle check, scrapped and imported status, full MOT history, vehicle tax status, and an AI analysis with a buyer's guide, common problems and maintenance guidance. Reports start at £4.99 and results arrive in under 60 seconds.
Instantly. Enter the vehicle's registration, choose your report, and the full history is generated in under 60 seconds. No account needed and nothing sent by post. You can view it on any device straight away.
For most buyers, yes. A report costs a few pounds; the cost of unknowingly buying a car with outstanding finance (which the lender can repossess), a hidden write-off, or clocked mileage can run into thousands. A full check turns an expensive gamble into an informed decision, and takes under a minute.
