Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly will I receive my report?
Reports are generated instantly after payment and sent to your email within seconds. You can also download directly from the success page.
What information is included in the report?
Every report includes an advanced plain-english summary with risk rating, stolen vehicle checks, outstanding finance, insurance write-off history, mileage anomaly detection, full MOT history with advisories, and comprehensive vehicle specifications. You can also add a vehicle valuation for private sale, dealer, and part-exchange price ranges.
How long is the download link valid?
Your report download link is valid for 30 days. After that, the PDF is automatically deleted. We recommend downloading and saving your report.
What if the check fails?
If we're unable to generate your report for any reason, you'll receive an automatic full refund to your original payment method.
How does the valuation work?
Our valuation combines real UK market data with advanced analysis of the specific vehicle's history - including MOT advisories, mileage patterns, write-off history, and keeper count - to produce tailored private sale, dealer, and part-exchange price ranges with a confidence rating.
Is the valuation included in the price?
The vehicle valuation is a £2.99 add-on. You can select it during checkout and it will be included in your PDF report.
Can I check any UK vehicle?
Yes, you can check any vehicle registered with the DVLA using its registration number (number plate).
Is a £4.99 check as good as an HPI check?
For the core checks, yes. A Safe Car Check report covers stolen, outstanding finance, insurance write-off (MIAFTR), mileage and full MOT history, plus a plain-English risk summary, for £4.99. HPI's Full Check costs £19.99 and adds extras such as its own data guarantee.
The DVLA and MOT history checks are free, so why pay?
The free GOV.UK services show tax, MOT status and MOT history, which is useful, but they cannot tell you whether a car has outstanding finance, has been reported stolen, or has been written off by an insurer. Those three are the checks that stop you losing the car or the money, and they are only available through a paid history check.
What is the cheapest full car history check in the UK?
Several UK providers sell basic checks from £1.99 to £3.99, but those tiers usually leave out the outstanding finance check, which is the one most likely to cost you the car. Safe Car Check includes finance, stolen, write-off, mileage and full MOT history in every report for £4.99, with an automatic refund if the report cannot be generated.
Do you offer a discount for repeat customers?
Yes - sign in or create an account, and once you've bought 3 reports every report after that is half price (£4.99) and includes a free vehicle valuation. The discount applies automatically at checkout, whether you're a trader or a private buyer.
