Can I check the VIN?

Yes, of course. At MotorCheck, we provide a quick and reliable VIN check to verify if the number on the vehicle matches the official records. This crucial step ensures that the car you’re buying is legitimate and has no hidden history.

Please note that VIN or "Vehicle Identification Number" is considered to be secure data so we don't disclose it directly on the report in order to help prevent cloning of vehicles and forging of official documentation. However you can still check that the VIN of the vehicle you are checking is the official VIN for that vehicle.

How to Check a VIN with MotorCheck

1. Locate the VIN – The VIN is embossed in multiple places on the vehicle and printed on the V5C logbook.
2. Compare the VINs – The VIN on the V5C Certificate (logbook) should match the physical VIN on the vehicle.
3. Run a MotorCheck VIN Check – Enter the VIN number into your report to verify if it matches the official records.
4. Get an Instant Report – If there’s a mismatch, we'll alert you immediately so you can take the necessary steps before purchase.

NOTE: A standard VIN for most vehicles is normally an alpha-numeric string containing a total of 17 characters.
