What's covered

What your report holds, make by make

Everything below comes from the national vehicle record and is in every report, for every UK make. The exact factory paint code is the one part that depends on the make: we read it for 37 makes, and we check your own car's record holds it before you pay.

UK
Every make

In every report, whatever the badge

From a 1972 Rover to this year's Tesla: if DVLA knows the car, the report holds all of this.

Manufacturer photo

A stock photo of the model, where the manufacturer supplies one.

Full spec & performance

Engine, power, 0–60, top speed, economy, CO₂, dimensions and weights.

MOT history & advisories

Every test, every defect and advisory, from the DVSA record.

Mileage timeline

The odometer at every MOT, so clocking shows.

Tax band & running costs

The exact annual VED for this car.

Euro NCAP safety

Star rating and adult and child scores where tested.

Market valuation

Trade, private and part-exchange figures at the recorded mileage.

Full History extras

Outstanding finance, write-off category, stolen marker, mileage anomaly and keeper history (Full History report).

Exact factory paint

The 37 makes we read the factory record for

DVLA records only the basic shade ("Blue"). For these makes we read the manufacturer's own record for your exact car and return the real colour name and OEM paint code. For any other make the report shows the DVLA colour, and our colour library still lists every colour that make offered.

"With its group brand": our catalogue files that make's colours under the group it belongs to (Audi under Volkswagen, Lexus under Toyota, and so on). The reg check reads the make's own record either way.

How we keep it honest

Even for a covered make, one car's own record can hold no paint, for example an early build or a special order. So before you pay, we read your car's record. If the paint is there, the checkout says confirmed for this car. If it isn't, the checkout says so, the paint line is left out, and you decide with that in front of you. We never charge for paint we can't give.

Not on the list?

Every other make still gets the full report

Spec, MOT history, mileage, tax, safety and valuation come from the national record for every make. The report shows the colour DVLA registered, and the paywall tells you up front that the exact code isn't included for that make. We add manufacturers as their records open up.

Manufacturer names identify coverage only. No affiliation or endorsement is implied.
