A full history check, in Roadworthy

What it checks

What the full history check tells you

Data provided by Experian:

• Whether a finance agreement is on record for the car.
• Whether it's on the insurers' write-off register, and any category.
• Whether it's recorded as stolen on the Police National Computer.
• How many keepers it has had, and when it last changed hands.
• Any change of number plate or colour.
• Whether it's recorded as scrapped, exported or imported.

And free in Roadworthy, as for any car, from DVLA and DVSA: its tax and MOT, every MOT result with the mileage at each test, and every advisory.

Limits

What it can't tell you

• It's a check of records. Something that was never recorded, or recorded wrongly, won't show.
• It doesn't tell you the car's condition. Look it over, or have it inspected.
• It doesn't tell you whether the seller is the keeper. Check the log book against the seller and the car.
• It shows the records on the day you check. Check again if you buy later.
• It can't show whether a car is a clone carrying another car's identity. Check the VIN on the car against the log book.
