If you are looking to purchase a vehicle and need to check it doesn’t have a hidden history, then you can purchase a Full Provenance Check. 1 in 3 vehicles checked has a hidden history! - This could be anything from a stolen marker, insurance write off, outstanding finance, mileage discrepancies (clocked), plate changes or other identification discrepancies. Any of these could have a serious impact on the value of the vehicle, the legitimacy of the sale and potentially leading to financial loss.

  2. Reported or Previous Stolen Markers

    Find out if a vehicle has at anytime been flagged as stolen. The police could seize the vehicle from you if it is currently stolen.

    Ensure a vehicle has not been previously written off by an insurance company as this could significantly impact the value of the vehicle.
