Stolen Car Check
Car Finance Check

Before you buy a used car you can check if it is still subject to finance agreement. A used car check from Car Check can tell you this, and the service also includes a finance protection insurance which can cover you if you buy the car and it is subsequently found to be subject to a finance agreement.

Over 10 million cars are financed with loans or hire purchase agreements. Our used car history can check for outstanding finance. If you buy a car with finance owing, the finance company can repossess the car, and you lose your money and the car.

Around 1 in 5 cars checked turns out to have outstanding finance. If the loan has not been repaid in full when you buy a used car, then you can stand to lose the car or the money outstanding on it.

If the loan remains unpaid when you buy a vehicle, you do not not acquire title to it - in other words become the legal owner. You are also not protected by the Sale of Goods Act (1979).
