Outstanding finance, insurance write offs, the police stolen marker, plate changes and keeper history for any DS. The complete used car check for £9.99.
The Full History report runs the checks that protect your money on a used DS: outstanding finance agreements (a car with finance on it can be repossessed from you), insurance write off records with the category, the police stolen marker, plate changes, keeper history and a mileage anomaly check. It sits on top of everything in the Essential report: photo, full spec, MOT history, tax and market valuation.
Roughly a third of used cars checked in the UK carry some kind of hidden history, and outstanding finance is the most common. If a previous keeper stopped paying, the finance company owns the car no matter how honestly you bought it. The report shows the agreement type, lender and start date, so you know before money changes hands.
Whether it is a DS 3 or DS 4, the process is the same: check the history before the test drive, take the report with you, and match what the seller says against what the records show. At £9.99 against HPI at around £20, there is no reason to skip it.
What does a DS history check cost?
£9.99 for the Full History report, which includes finance, write off and stolen checks plus the complete Essential report. The equivalent checks from the big names cost £15 to £20.
What if the car fails the check?
The report shows exactly what was recorded: the write off category, the finance agreement details, or the stolen marker. Walk away or renegotiate with the facts in hand.
