Why a reg is the easiest starting point

Model names hide a lot. A 1.5 petrol hatchback might come in three power outputs and four trim levels across a few years. The registration ties the search to your car's details on record, so we can narrow down the right model and derivative rather than guessing from a brochure.

What we match from the plate

Basic details (free preview)

make, model, colour, year, fuel type and engine size where available.

Specification (full report)

engine, power, torque, performance, economy, dimensions and standard features where available, matched to the derivative we can identify.

Spec lookup by model vs by reg

Spec databases sorted by make and model are great for browsing. A reg based check is better when you already have a car in front of you and want its figures, not a range of possibilities.

When the data may be limited

Imports, kit cars, very old vehicles and heavily modified cars may return fewer fields. If we cannot match a spec we will tell you before you pay. contact support and we will explain what we can do.

Questions

Does it work on private plates?

It should work on any current UK registration, including private plates, as long as the plate is assigned to the vehicle.

Can I check a car I do not own?

Yes, for lawful reasons such as buying or insuring it. We only show vehicle data.
