About Dean's Car Check
Dean spent his working life buying and selling cars, at main dealers and in his own business. He knows what a clean history looks like and what a dodgy one hides. This service checks the things he would check before he put his own money down.
Type a plate. You get tax status, MOT status, the full MOT history with advisories, and make, model, year and colour. Plus an AI summary and a free MOT reminder email 30 and 14 days before it's due. No card. A free account only if you want to save your checks.
Write-off, stolen and scrapped markers. Mileage history. Keeper history. Outstanding finance, on Gold and Guided Gold. Gold and Guided Gold also include taxi and private-hire history.
Pay once per report. No subscription, no auto-renewal. Prices are on the Pricing page.
Finance check is powered by Experian
Identity and MOT data from the DVLA and DVSA. Risk data from licensed vehicle-history providers. Payments by Stripe.
If a field is unknown, it says Unknown. Nothing is guessed. Every source we use is named on the data sources page.
Nobody visits the car. This is a vehicle history check, not a mechanical inspection. Use it to decide whether a car is worth the drive, then get it looked at.
