What does a Vehicle History Check show?
A RoadLux Vehicle History Check brings together the records that matter before you buy: outstanding finance agreements, police stolen markers, insurance write-off categories, recorded mileage readings, MOT history and keeper information, plus the DVLA vehicle details for the registration you enter.
How do I check if a car has outstanding finance?
Enter the registration above and unlock the full report. If a finance agreement is still registered against the vehicle, the report shows it along with the agreement details supplied by the finance data providers. Buying a car with outstanding finance can mean the lender still legally owns it.
How do I check if a vehicle has been written off?
The report includes recorded insurance write-off entries. Where a category has been recorded, RoadLux shows the category letter, the loss date, damage areas and insurer details where supplied, so you can judge how serious the damage was.
What do Category S and Category N mean?
Category S means the vehicle suffered structural damage and was repaired or can be repaired. Category N means non-structural damage, which can still include safety-critical items such as brakes or steering. Categories A and B are the most severe and mean the vehicle should never return to the road.
How can I check if a vehicle is stolen?
The check queries the police stolen marker held against the registration. If an active marker is found, the report flags it clearly. Never buy a vehicle showing a stolen marker — you could lose both the car and the money.
Why check mileage history?
Recorded odometer readings from MOT tests and mileage data providers are compared for inconsistencies. A reading that drops over time, or a sudden implausible jump, is a strong sign of clocking and can make a car worth far less than the asking price.
Why check a used car before buying?
The seller's word and the paperwork in the glovebox cannot tell you whether money is still owed on the car, whether an insurer once wrote it off, or whether the mileage is genuine. A check costs a few pounds; the mistakes it prevents cost thousands.
What is included in a RoadLux Vehicle History Check?
Finance, stolen marker, write-off category, mileage verification, MOT history, keeper and plate changes where supplied, plus full vehicle and technical details. The report is saved permanently to your RoadLux account and can be reopened any time at no extra cost.
Is RoadLux an HPI Check?
No. RoadLux Vehicle History Check is a separate, independent vehicle-history service. HPI and HPI Check are trademarks of another company and RoadLux is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to them.
How do I run a reg check?
Type the vehicle's registration plate into the box above and tap check vehicle. RoadLux instantly confirms the make, model, year and fuel from the DVLA record, then you unlock the full car history check covering finance, stolen, write-off and mileage at checkout.
What's the difference between a car history check and an MOT check?
An MOT check only shows the vehicle's annual test results, advisories and odometer readings. A RoadLux car history check includes that MOT history alongside finance, stolen marker, write-off category, mileage verification and keeper data, so one report covers everything a buyer needs before parting with money.
Can I check a car's finance before buying?
Yes. The finance section of the vehicle history check lists any outstanding finance agreement still registered against the registration, with the agreement type and status where supplied. If a car has outstanding finance, the lender may still legally own it.
