Brego vs other car check sites
Same price. More data. Simpler search.
See how the car has been sold before
Most car check sites show what is visible today. Brego also shows how the vehicle has been advertised over time: earlier adverts, price reductions, relists, time on sale and mileage changes.
Example advert timeline
Better negotiation starts here
Sellers control today's advert. A listing timeline helps you see what happened before today and gives you better context before you call, travel or negotiate.
If the seller says the price is fair, you can see whether the car has already been reduced, relisted or left unsold.
From first search to better decision
The experience is designed to give you a useful first answer fast, then let you go deeper only if the car still looks worth your time.
Enter the reg or VIN
Use the reg for the quickest route, or enter the VIN if that’s what you have.
Get the first read instantly
See valuation, MOT and tax status, listing history and market context in seconds.
Unlock the deeper checks if needed
If the car still looks promising, add finance, stolen, write-off and full history checks for £9.99.
Decide with better information
Use the report to negotiate harder, walk away sooner, or buy with more confidence.
What buyers spotted before they bought
A few examples of the issues buyers caught before committing.
“Saved me from buying a car with outstanding finance. The listing history showed it had been relisted 4 times in 6 months too.”
“The free check showed the valuation was way below asking price. Used it to negotiate £1,200 off without even paying for the full report.”
“Mileage on the advert was 63,000 but the MOT history showed 94,000 six months earlier. Definite clocking attempt.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I get for free?
The free check gives you the essentials: vehicle details, MOT and tax status, a retail valuation range, plus a snapshot of listing history and market context. It’s designed to help you decide quickly whether the car is worth pursuing.
What’s included in the full report?
The full PDF report includes valuations, full MOT history, finance and stolen checks, write-off and salvage records, advert history with prices, market comparisons, mileage analysis, and full vehicle specifications. It is generated after payment and emailed within minutes. Finance, stolen and write-off data is provided by Experian.
How accurate are the valuations?
Brego’s AI valuations are trained on millions of real transactions and live market data. They are updated regularly and used by insurers, dealers and finance companies across the UK and Europe.
Can I check if an advert is a scam?
Yes. Add the advertised price, mileage and dealer URL alongside the registration. We’ll check whether the asking price looks realistic, whether the website looks established, and whether the mileage fits the MOT history.
Can I check for outstanding finance?
Yes. The full report includes an outstanding finance check, so you can see whether the seller may not have clear title to the vehicle. Finance data is provided by Experian.
How do you detect mileage fraud?
We compare the advertised mileage with MOT readings and older adverts. If the numbers move backwards or don’t line up, we flag it.
What is a write-off check?
A write-off check tells you if the vehicle has ever been declared a total loss by an insurance company. This includes Category A (scrap), B (break), S (structural), and N (non-structural) write-offs.
What valuations do you provide?
We provide retail and part-exchange ranges, each with low, average and high estimates. The full report also includes future value forecasts and valuation history.
What should I check when buying a used car?
At a minimum, check MOT history, outstanding finance, stolen status, write-off history, and whether the mileage makes sense against MOT and advert history. Our full report brings all of that together in one PDF.
How can I check if a car has outstanding finance?
Our full report includes a finance check. If the vehicle has outstanding finance, the seller may not legally own it, and that can put both the car and your money at risk. Finance data is provided by Experian.
What is a write-off category?
Insurance write-offs are classified by severity. Category A means scrap only, Category B means the body shell must be crushed, Category S indicates structural damage, and Category N means non-structural damage. Categories S and N can return to the road but may have reduced value.
Can I check a car’s MOT history for free?
Our free check shows the current MOT status and expiry date. The full report includes the complete MOT history with every test result, advisories, failures, and mileage readings over time.
How do I know if a car has been clocked?
Mileage fraud, or clocking, is when the odometer is wound back to make a vehicle look less used. We look for that by comparing the advertised mileage with MOT readings and earlier adverts. If the numbers do not add up, we flag it.
What is a VIN and why does it matter?
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character code stamped into the chassis. It helps confirm the vehicle’s identity. When buying a used car, the VIN should match the V5C logbook and the vehicle itself.
