  • If the car registration number is right for that vehicle
  • If the car has had a plate transfer and if there is any hidden history behind those
  • If it is an insurance write off
  • If the Police have any interest in it
  • If there is any outstanding finance - 25% are still on finance!
  • Has it been clocked - 1 in 12 show discrepancies!
  • C02 Emissions - this affects cost of taxing it (RFL Road Fund Licence or VED Vehicle Excise Duty)
