About this app

carVertical is a car check and VIN check app that helps UK drivers review vehicle history before buying a used car. Check the vehicle history before you pay and use available records to spot costly hidden issues.

Enter a VIN to review available mileage records, accident and damage history, theft records, taxi use, historical photos, ownership changes, price history, and other important vehicle information.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Find the VIN in the vehicle documents, on the dashboard, or on the body. Enter the VIN in the carVertical app. Get a detailed vehicle history report and compare the records with the seller's claims.

WHAT CAN A REPORT INCLUDE?

If available, carVertical reports may include mileage history, damage records, theft checks, previous use, historical photos, price changes, ownership changes, service-related details, equipment information, and other facts that help you understand a vehicle's past.

WHY CHECK VEHICLE HISTORY?

Mileage rollbacks, hidden damage, previous accidents, theft records, and poorly maintained vehicles can lead to expensive repairs or safety concerns. A car history check helps you make a more confident decision before buying, selling, or inspecting a used car.

Use carVertical for car checks, VIN checks, vehicle history reports, mileage checks, damage history, theft checks, historical photos, ownership details, price history, service records, equipment details, and used car research before you buy.

Download carVertical and check a VIN before your next used car purchase.

This app is amazing and helps buyers avoid problems or potential scams when buying their first vehicle. It would be fantastic if you added Panama to the regions in the future; I think that would be a huge plus. Thank you for your help.

I used this app due to their big push on social media and their claims. the car I purchased, following a 90% rating from car vertical, turned out to be a cloned car and I'm now out the full amount of the cost. carvertical has since been in touch and offered me some discount to buy a search again in order for them to view cars profile... I would recommend getting a hpi check
