Frequently Asked Questions
Enter the registration plate above. Our check queries national databases including signals from police records to flag any vehicles reported as stolen or involved in criminal activity.
A cloned vehicle is one where criminals have placed genuine-looking number plates from a legitimate car onto a stolen one. The cloned car appears clean in basic checks — only a VIN check and cross-referencing the V5C can catch this.
Legally, you cannot obtain good title to a stolen vehicle even if you bought it in good faith. The police can seize it from you, and you would need to pursue the seller through the courts.
A basic stolen flag is included in our free check. A full PNC and MIAFTR search with detailed status is available in our Silver and Gold paid reports.
