3. The UK’s first free VIN check tool
You are now viewing cars that you have shortlisted. We can’t stress enough how important it is to run your own physical checks on a vehicle before buying. In short, checking the vehicle’s VIN is a must.
Our free car check will tell you if a vehicle has been reported stolen to the police or an insurer. But criminals use sophisticated techniques to ensure the vehicles they steal go undetected by the authorities. This practice is known as ‘cloning’. Our free VIN check tool helps to detect if a vehicle has been stolen and cloned. We made the tool free in 2023 to help car buyers.
Watch the explainer video below and check any car’s VIN using our free car check or by visiting our VIN check web page when viewing a vehicle. The Total Car Check app, available to download on the app stores, is perfect for using the VIN check tool on your phone while viewing a vehicle.
