Car Checks - Latest News:

Since the onset of the credit crunch more than more cars are being flagged as having outstanding finance when being investigated via a car check. If you buy a car with outstanding finance you could be liable to pay the outstanding bill.

As 1:3 cars have a hidden history - that means over 100,000 vehicles on Autotrader.co.uk at any one time could possibly have a dodgy past which only a car check could reveal.

Who are Autocheck?

Autocheck is a car check service owned and run by Experian. Experian is a global leader in providing information, analytical and marketing services to organisations and consumers to help manage the risk and reward of commercial and financial decisions including car checks. They work in conjunction with the DVLA and police database to ensure their car check is the best around.

Is this an HPI check?

No - we do not use HPI. As with other highly successful brands HPI Ltd have become synonymous with car check services - like in the same way Hoover was when people refered to a Vacuum! This is a great position for them to be in and their product is of good quality. Please just be aware, behind their powerful branding they offer and do the same as Autocheck. By using Autocheck and us you have the option of saving more money in the process.

The Other Advantages:

Apart from getting a £25 cash refund if you take out a Direct Line car insurance policy online via one of our links, you are also covered up to £30,000 if Autocheck fails to identify a risk. You will also get £15 discount on an AA vehicle inspection with every car check.

No wonder AutoExpress voted it as "Best Buy" in 2008.

Options:

Multiple Autocheck - This allows you to check up to 5 cars and is the best value product on offer here. Just think, if you check a car and it does appear to have an adverse history, you will not have to pay out again when you check another car - as you have 5 checks included.

Single Autocheck - This is cheaper but you only get one check, so priced per car, you are paying 4 times as much as Multiple Autocheck...and remember you have a 1:3 chance of checking a car which has an adverse history....
