What is a VRM check?

In the UK, a VRM (Vehicle Registration Mark) check is a process used to obtain information about a vehicle by entering its registration number. This check is commonly performed to access details about a vehicle’s history, ownership, and various other important pieces of information. There are several ways to perform a VRM check in the UK, and it can be done for various purposes, including:

Vehicle Ownership: You can use a VRM check to determine the registered keeper of a vehicle, which can be useful when buying a used car to ensure that the seller is the legal owner.

 A VRM check can provide you with information about the vehicle’s history, such as its make and model, date of registration, and previous MOT (Ministry of Transport) test results. This can help you verify the accuracy of the information provided by the seller.

Outstanding Finance: VRM checks can reveal whether a vehicle has outstanding finance, which could affect your ability to obtain clear ownership if you purchase it.

Mileage Check: You can use a VRM check to verify the recorded mileage of the vehicle and check for discrepancies that might indicate tampering.

 

Our VRM  offers historical information on vehicles in the UK, allowing you to make informed decisions when buying a car. Our car history check is the most extensive and detailed report available, providing you with complete confidence.

Insurance Write Off (Total loss) Check: We thoroughly examine whether the vehicle has been declared as an insurance total loss, including categories A, B, C, D, S, and N. This check provides details on the type of loss, the date it occurred, and the areas that were damaged. By analysing data from the insurance industry (MIAFTR), we determine if a vehicle has ever been written off. Additionally, our salvage history check can reveal any damage photos if the vehicle has been sold on auction sites.

Imported/Exported: Through a number plate check, we determine if a car, motorbike, or van has been recorded as imported or exported by the DVLA. If a vehicle is flagged as exported, we recommend exercising caution before proceeding.

Scrapped/Unscrapped: By cross-referencing data from the DVLA, we verify whether the vehicle you intend to purchase has been scrapped or is still in use.

Colour Change: Our registration check includes a record of the vehicle’s original colour and any past colour changes. It is essential to notify the DVLA and update your V5C registration document in case of any changes.

VIN or Chassis: This check reveals the last four digits of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) provided by the DVLA. It is crucial to ensure that these numbers match the vehicle and the V5C logbook.

Engine Number: We provide the engine number of the vehicle, allowing you to verify that it matches the car’s engine and the V5C logbook.

Car Valuation: Our valuation tool provides you with an up-to-date price based on the car’s model and mileage. This includes both the trade-in price and the private sale price, giving you a comprehensive understanding of the car’s value
