Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about car history check on Carhealth
Our comprehensive car history check reveals: outstanding finance, stolen records, insurance write-offs (Cat S/N/C/D), MOT history with failures and advisories, mileage verification across records, previous ownership changes, import/export status, scrapped status, vehicle specifications, market value, and AI-powered analysis of potential issues.
1 in 3 used cars have hidden problems like outstanding finance (you could lose the car), clocked mileage (overvalued), undisclosed accident damage (safety risk), or failed MOTs (costly repairs). A car history check protects you from these risks for just £14.99.
If our check reveals issues like outstanding finance, theft records, or accident damage, we recommend: (1) Don't proceed with the purchase until issues are resolved, (2) Ask the seller for a full explanation, (3) Request proof that finance has been settled or damage properly repaired, (4) Use the findings to negotiate a lower price, or (5) Walk away and find a cleaner vehicle. Your £14.99 check could save you thousands.
