Car buying, made clear.
Not everyone is a motoring expert. So we built a report that helps you understand exactly what to look for when buying a used car.
Why we exist
Every year, thousands of UK car buyers unknowingly purchase vehicles with hidden histories. Outstanding finance, clocked mileage, undisclosed write-offs, stolen markers. The information is out there, but it's scattered across government databases and industry registers that most people don't know how to access.
We believe informed decisions lead to better outcomes. CarVerify makes vehicle history accessible, reliable, and straightforward for everyone, whether you're buying your first car or your fiftieth.
Built for real buyers
Most vehicle history services dump raw data on a page and leave you to figure it out. We do the opposite. Every CarVerify report is designed to surface what actually matters: the red flags, the questions you should ask, and the things a seller might not tell you.
CarVerify+ goes further with our AI Buyer's Briefing, which generates a tailored negotiation playbook for the specific car you're looking at, and Ask Reg, an AI mechanic you can chat to about common faults, running costs, and what to inspect at the viewing.
What we check
Every CarVerify report cross-references multiple official databases to give you the full picture:
