Stolen Vehicle Check
Confirm a vehicle has not been reported stolen to the police before you buy. If you unknowingly buy a stolen car, it can be seized with no refund.
Run a Stolen CheckBuying a stolen vehicle is one of the worst outcomes for a private car buyer. If the police recover a stolen car, it is returned to its rightful owner or insurer — and the innocent buyer is usually left with nothing.
Our stolen vehicle check cross-references the Police National Computer stolen vehicle register, so you can see whether the car you are interested in has an active theft marker against it before you commit.
