Why choose Carpeep over Total Car Check?
A clear, modern report
The important UK checks in one easy-to-read report, written in plain English.
ULEZ check in the report
Every report shows whether the car meets ULEZ standards, next to its tax status.
Finance details you can act on
If finance is outstanding, you get the lender, agreement number and contact number, so you can ask the seller to settle it.
Mileage you can read at a glance
Every MOT mileage reading is plotted on a chart, with anything unusual flagged.
What your report shows
We search millions of UK vehicle records to find hidden problems before they become yours.

Mileage history
Every recorded mileage reading, plotted in order. Rollbacks and tampering stand out the moment something doesn’t add up.
-
Accident history
All insurance write-off categories with date, insurer and damage detail for every recorded write-off.
-
Stolen vehicle check
Checked against UK police stolen vehicle records and insurer theft records. Recorded as stolen? You’ll know before you hand over a deposit.
-
Outstanding finance
If the seller hasn’t settled their loan, the finance company still owns the car. We name the lender and the agreement.
-
Import, export & scrapped
International Import and export records with the date and region. Scrap markers if vehicle has been marked as destroyed.
-
MOT & tax
Every MOT test with defects and advisories. Plus current tax status, CO2 emissions and ULEZ compliance.

Vehicle specification
The vehicle’s full identity in one place, with the last five characters of the VIN to check the plate and the car belong together.
