Finding Out More
Free Car Check collates data from the DVLA and VOSA along with our own information sources. But there's a lot more you can do own your own that we can't currently display.
Stolen Vehicle Reports
Free Car Check is currently trying to get access to the main police stolen vehicles database. In the meantime there are several ways you can check if a vehicle has been reported stolen free of charge:
Police
Many forces will now allow you to enquire about a vehicle at a police station. They may take down your details before telling you if a vehicle is stolen, but the service is free and you shouldn't be added to any marketing lists.
Online
One of the commericial car check companies offers http://www.checkitfree.com/. You should be warned however that your details might be given to third parties for marketing purposes. (Correct as of 10/03/2009 - this service is in no way connected to Free Car Check)
Insurance Group
Thatcham produce the Insurance Group listings which influence the cost of insuring a car: http://www.thatcham.org/abigrouprating/index.jsp?page=343
Insurance Details
The Motor Insurers Database allows you to check if your own vehicle is currently insured: http://www.askmid.com/ownvehicle/
Valuations
Free Car Check has a quick valuations service, but it should be treated as a rough guide only. More accurate prices can be obtained from specialist pricing sites.
Parkers
Offers a free basic valuation service with a fee charged for mileage adjusted valuations: http://www.parkers.co.uk/
Glass's
Main valuation source used by the car industry. Fee charged for all valuations: http://www.glass.co.uk/
