What a specification check covers

A spec check is about what the car is, not where it has been. It looks at the engine, gearbox, outputs, performance, dimensions and equipment. A history check is a different thing that looks at finance, write offs and theft markers. We focus on spec.

Spec check vs history check vs MOT history

Spec check

What the car is and what it came with.

History check

Finance, insurance write off, stolen markers. Not part of our report.

MOT history

Free on gov.uk. Shows test results and mileage readings.

Typical uses

Buying a used car

Check the advert matches. Is it really the higher power version? Does that trim usually come with the features listed?

Insurance and parts

Give your insurer accurate details and order parts for the right engine.

Selling

Write an advert with correct figures.

What we do not include

Keeper details, finance data and accident history. If you need those, use a full history check provider.

Questions

Is a spec check the same as a car history check?

No. A spec check covers what the car is. A history check covers finance, write offs and theft.
