Vehicle history reports for the UK and Europe

Roadchecks UK is an online service specialising in vehicle history reports. Founded in 2021 in Cardiff, the company began as a local provider of automotive services — repairs, inspections and maintenance — and later expanded into issuing history reports accessible to vehicle owners in the UK and Europe.

The service allows users to check a vehicle's history using its Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or registration plate, and is aimed at owners who want to know the condition and background of a car before buying or selling it.

What the reports include

Roadchecks UK reports bring together critical and important checks on the vehicle. According to information published by the company, the content covers:

• Mileage history
• MOT and service history
• Plate change history
• Outstanding finance checks
• Police stolen vehicle records
• Vehicle valuation
• Registration and performance details
• Accident and write-off data

The company states that it holds information on any make, given that there are more than 35 million cars on UK roads.

Data sources and coverage

Roadchecks UK states that it works with government agencies and authorities in several European countries. Among the sources cited are the UK's DVLA and DVSA, Ireland's Road Safety Authority (RSA) and the Netherlands' RDW, as well as other European data partners. This combination of sources makes it possible to provide reports for both UK and other European vehicles.
