Vehicle Smart - Car Check

Vehicle Smart – Car Check is a car history app that provides free MOT and road tax checks for any UK vehicle in seconds. Enter a registration number or VIN and instantly access DVLA data covering MOT status, mileage history, tax expiration dates, vehicle age, fuel type, engine size, CO2 emissions, and ULEZ compliance.

Before buying a used car, run a full check to uncover over 80 data points about the vehicle's history. Discover whether it's been stolen (checked against police and insurance databases), written off, salvaged with damage photos, or carries outstanding finance from HP or logbook loans. See if it's been imported or exported, scrapped, inspected by the VIC, or had plate and colour changes. Review previous keeper records, full specifications, mileage trends, valuation estimates, and more—all backed by a £30,000 data guarantee for peace of mind.

Add your own cars, bikes, and vans to your garage and set automatic reminders for MOT dates, road tax renewal, insurance expiry, breakdown cover, and servicing schedules. Never miss a deadline again. The app also tracks PCP and lease mileage, helping you monitor expenses and predict future costs.

Car enthusiasts and collectors gain access to detailed performance data—engine and gearbox specs, top speed, acceleration, fuel economy figures for motorway and urban driving, tyre pressures, BHP, chassis dimensions, and more. Impress friends with instant knowledge about any vehicle on the road.

The app integrates seamlessly with popular car buying platforms. Whether you're browsing AutoTrader, Motorway, Carwow, or Car Guru, use this tool to verify vehicle history before making an offer. It's a cost-effective alternative to traditional HPI checks, combining free DVLA and DVSA MOT records with comprehensive provenance data, police PNC stolen status checks, and ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) technology.

Additional features include car insurance quotes powered by Confused.com, breakdown cover quotes from AA and RAC, road tax band lookups with VED costs, and the ability to store vehicle photos, nicknames, and maintenance notes for tyres, fluids, and bulbs across all your vehicles.

Trusted by millions of UK drivers, with 146 million vehicle checks completed in 2025, Vehicle Smart – Car Check keeps your garage and vehicle history in your pocket.
