What a car check shows

A car check lets you see a vehicle history before you hand over any money. Enter a licence plate or VIN and you will see when the car was registered, how many owners it had, and whether it is listed as stolen. Cars from the US also come with auction history: photos, real mileage, and damage records. The data comes from official registries, customs, and car auctions.
