AutoCheck
View Sample Report
AutoCheck is one of the top vehicle history checking companies online. They offer more than what other online sites including a finance check, and they give a £30K check guarantee - if they are at fault they will pay out. Autocheck offer an excellent service allowing you to choose to check a single vehicle (for £19.99) or 5 for £25 - That means you get a full check for just £5. This is a full report that includes all the important checks, including the Finance Data - and if you are considering checking more than one car, then this is an excellent deal.  So by paying just £5 more above their single vehicle check, the cost per check goes down significantly – and when you are buying a car, the chances are that you will have more than one car on your shortlist. Auto Check gets our 5 star rating, and no #1 vote for most value for money for the comprehensive check you get and multiple check discount given.

MyCarCheck
View Sample Report
Mycarcheck offers  the best value for money if you are checking a single car and you don't need to check the Finance details. I Have voted this no #2 as you get pretty much everything else all for under a tenner. They seem to be pretty reliable and get all their data from a reliable source e.g. DVLA. The other feature they give is a car valuation, which I thought was pretty handy as you get a car check as well as an idea on what the car's market value is.

HPICheck
View Sample Report
The HPI Check provides the most comprehensive check - they give you every last bit of data or check they can get their hands on. However this is also reflected in the price - it is the most expensive check. However, don't let that put you off because if you are buying an expensive car, this fee is insignificant. I would only opt for this check if I was about to buy a very expensive car..

AACarDataCheck
View Sample Report
AA Car check gives you all the main checks that you would need to make an informed decision about a vehicle. However, it does not provide information on vehicle valuation or document check and it is slightly cheaper than the HPI check. If you are thinking of spending this kind of money, I suggest you pay the extra £2.95 and get the full HPI check
£37.00

CarWebIT

CarWebIT provide all the information that you would require except mileage and finance checks. The report style I thought was a little "all over the place" and difficult to read. However the information is there and for £4.95 you can't complain.rmation is there and for £4.95 you can't complain.

eBay
View Sample Report
Ebay will give you a cheap check, by the look of it you can only check cars purchased through ebay - and even then the facility is not available on all the listed cars. In my opinion, its better to go for one of the more established companies that specialise in Car History checks.
