Car VIN Check
You can check the VIN of a car here with Car Check. The VIN is the Vehicle Identification Number, and it
is a number, usually 17 digits, which has been stamped on different parts of a vehicle.
The same number should also be in the logbook. If the numbers on the car and in the
logbook are not the same, then there is something wrong.
Don't take a chance when buying a car, always
check first. The VIN can usually be found on a small metal VIN plate, usually in the
engine compartment, and the VIN is also stamped into the bodywork under the bonnet and
under the driver's seat. As an additional anti-theft and security measure some cars now
have the VIN etched on their windows or lamps.
If you have any suspicions, notify the police
straight-away. It is up to you to check the vehicle you are purchasing has not been
reported as stolen. If you do end up buying a stolen car you could lose all your money and
also lose the vehicle - it can be returned to the proper owner, or claimed by the
insurance company if they have paid out on the car.
If you buy a stolen car you could also find yourself
explaining your actions to the police, any problems the vehicle had such as unpaid parking
fines can become your problems.
