UK VIN Lookup and VIN Check from Your Number Plate

See the vehicle details from a number plate, then get the VIN emailed for £7 so you can match the car to its papers.

What a VIN check tells you

The VIN identifies the vehicle itself: the manufacturer, and build details such as the model, body and the plant it came from. Unlike a number plate, it stays with the car for life.

Matching the VIN to the car

Compare our result with the plate at the bottom of the windscreen and with section E of the V5C. If they differ, ask questions before buying. Why the VIN and registration should match.

Our lookup vs a full history check

We supply the VIN. We do not provide finance, write off or stolen markers. If you need those, use a full vehicle history check as well.
