So it was time to buy a newer used car, given how many used car dealerships there are away from the big names, My Car Check proved priceless. I chose the Gold level check which covered everything I wanted to know for a mere £9.95. Prior to this check I got as much information about the car I was interested in off the dealer, then carried out the check and cross referenced the information to see if anything stood out. It let me see past MOT's and any advisories combined with all dates these were carried out. Whether there was any outstanding finance, if the registration plates had ever been changed or if it was ever a stolen recovered vehicle etc .. It also lets you carry out a free VIN Number check, which I did on the forecourt with the car in front of me. In a nutshell, all cars have a past but this checking tool will not only provide peace of mind but could potentially save you thousands of pounds simply by doing some reasearch BEFORE you buy. Well worth £9.95!
