UK drivers using Carpeep before buying their next car.
Very useful to check the vehicle before you spend lots of money. I have used Carpeep to check other vehicles I've looked at and found some that have very interesting things about them. Absolute nightmare. Thank you.

What does a Carpeep check include?
A Carpeep report covers outstanding finance, insurance write-off category, stolen marker, mileage history, MOT and tax status, keeper changes, import/export records, scrap markers, and a vehicle identity check, sourced from DVLA, DVSA, police records and major UK insurers.
Is this the same as an HPI check?
A Carpeep check covers the same core risks an HPI check covers, finance, write-off, stolen, mileage and identity, sourced from the same underlying UK data providers. The presentation is different: Carpeep is built around a clear, mobile-first report you can actually read on a forecourt.
Do I need an account?
No. Enter the registration, check out, and the report opens on a unique link sent to your email. You can revisit it any time.
How fast is the report?
Most reports are ready within about 30 seconds. Slower checks against third-party sources occasionally take a minute or two; the report keeps updating live.
What if the report shows a problem?
Every flagged risk is explained in plain English with the source and date. If our data misses a recorded issue that's later proven to have existed on your report date, our £30,000 data guarantee covers you up to that amount, subject to the published terms.
