Car Owner Check

With over 400,000 cars stolen every year you need to check that the seller is the legal owner. A used car history check can do this and a report from Car Check can tell you this and more about the history of the car.

If you buy a car which is then reclaimed by the owner or by an insurance company that has paid out following the reported theft, then you can lose both your money and the car.

Nearly half a million cars are recorded as insurance write-offs. However many are soon put back on to the road with cosmetic repairs. if a car is not safe you could lose more than your money.

Here are some tips to consider when buying a car from an individual. Always make sure you know, and have proof of the identity, of the person you are buying the vehicle from. Do not meet them at work or anywhere other than at their home address. You the buyer should go to the seller. Don't let them bring the car to where you live or work, they may not just be being helpful. Instead, the buyer should insist on meeting the seller at the sellers home, and make sure that you both go inside - don't deal standing outside on the pavement. You want to be sure that the person really does live there, and ask to see either a passport or driving license with a photograph, and a recent utility bill showing their address. You should also consider going with someone else if you have any concerns about going alone to see someone you do not know.
