The UK’s Most Complete Free Car Check
Before you buy a car you need to know what you are really paying for. Most free car checks stop at MOT and tax. The Rooster free car check does not.
A completely free car check service – no card details required
Free forever. Instant results. No credit card.
- Full MOT history and MOT expiry
- Real mileage trends, not just what the seller tells you
- How many keepers and when plates or colour changed
- Running costs you will actually face, like fuel spend & common repairs
- ULEZ status and tax cost
Why this matters
More than one in five used cars hide serious issues. If you buy a stolen car the police can take it and you lose the car and the money. If there is unpaid finance the lender still owns the car and can repossess it. Hidden write off history can leave you with something unsafe and hard to insure or sell later.
Premium car check option
After you see the free report you can upgrade for only £4.99. Premium adds:
Stolen vehicle check
Confirms whether the car has been reported stolen, helping you avoid purchasing a vehicle that could be seized by authorities.
Outstanding finance check
Reveals if there’s any existing finance on the car, so you don’t risk losing it to the finance company.
Write off and accident damage history
Uncovers any past insurance write-offs or significant accident repairs that could affect the car’s safety and value.
Live valuation
Provides an up-to-date market valuation, ensuring you pay a fair price based on the car’s true condition and history.
The cheapest premium car check on the market
Premium costs £4.99 which we believe is the cheapest on the market. It is currently only available on our website after you run a free check.
You can start with just a number plate. No sign up. No card.
