Why do you need a van check?
If you rely on your business vehicle for work, it must be completely trustworthy. Taking a gamble on having a spotless record could cost you a lot of money, so make sure you have all of the data.
It's possible that your commercial vehicle will break down when you need it the most. You can also discover that it was previously stolen or written off.
And the same advice applies to buying vans as any other vehicle: it is always worth remembering that if a deal seems too good to be true, then it probably is.
It is common knowledge in this market that 25% of vans have a hidden history. This could be anything from a discrepancy in the mileage history to a write-off that has been hidden. Not only that, but hundreds more vans are reported stolen every day. We find that more than 10% of the commercial vehicles we inspect have outstanding debt.
How our vehicle checks work?
Enter registration number
Simply type the car’s number plate into the input field above and click 'Check Now'.
Your registration number or number plate is also referred to as your VRM (Vehicle Registration Mark). It includes numbers and letters and is found on the front and rear of the vehicle.
Choose a report type
A free DVLA vehicle check report will be displayed. To source more information, choose from our standard vehicle check, full check or multi-check options.
Want to add more to your standard vehicle check, but don’t want the full check? No problem. Customise your report by selecting individual add-ons.
View your car report
After entering the required payment information into our secure checkout, you’ll be automatically redirected to your report.
We’ll also send you an order confirmation email with a link to your car check report, so you can access it anytime, anywhere.

Van Check FAQ's
A simple FREE van history check will verify the make, model, and registration of the vehicle you're considering purchasing. In certain circumstances, this information is partly free online and easily accessible through the GOV.uk website, while in others, it is not. You will have to pay for that. We offer the cheapest vehicle inspection – including for vans – at only £2.99 - £8.99 at Car Reg Checks.
Never purchase a van or pickup truck that has a warning flag for financial fraud.
In any event, the van will not belong to the seller, and you will lose both the car and your money in the long run. If you think or know that the vehicle has been stolen, you are guilty of handling stolen goods.
If a seller owes a finance firm money on a vehicle, the finance company legally owns it, and the seller has no right to sell it without paying the debt. When you buy a van with outstanding finance, you run the danger of the vehicle being repossessed, leaving you without a van or your money if the seller defaults on the payments or goes on the run.
