Brego exclusive — no other car check site shows this

See Every Advert This Car Has Ever Had

Other car-check sites show you a snapshot of today. Brego gives you the full advert timeline — current and historical listings, price cuts, relists, days on market and mileage changes. This is the context sellers don't want you to have.

Example advert timeline

Price cuts trackedSee reductions, relists and how long the car has sat on sale
Historical advertsCompare older listings against the current advert in one timeline
Mileage changesCross-check earlier advert mileages against MOT readings and today’s listing

Why buyers care about this

A seller can describe today's advert however they like. A listing timeline shows what actually happened over time.

Current and historical listings in one timeline
Previous asking prices and price-change history
Mileage changes across adverts and MOT records
Days on market, relists and seller context
Better negotiation starts here

If a seller says the car is priced fairly, you can see if it has already been reduced, relisted or sitting unsold.

Sarah K. · Bristol
Mileage fraud detected

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 scans 500+ data sources and gives you vehicle information, MOT and tax status, a retail valuation range, and a snapshot of listing history and market context. It’s a quick way to decide whether the vehicle is worth pursuing.

What’s included in the full report?

The full PDF report includes AI-powered valuations, complete MOT history, finance and stolen checks, write-off and salvage records, listing history with prices, market comparisons, scam detection, mileage analysis, and full vehicle specifications. It’s emailed to you instantly. Finance, stolen and write-off data provided by Experian.

How accurate are the valuations?

Brego’s AI valuations are used by insurers, dealers, and finance companies across the UK and Europe. Our models are trained on millions of real transactions and live market data, updated daily. They’re the same valuations used by industry professionals.

Can I check if an advert is a scam?

Yes. Enter the advertised price, mileage, and dealer URL alongside the registration and we’ll check whether the price is realistic, verify the dealer’s website age and legitimacy, and flag any mileage discrepancies against the MOT history.

Can I check for outstanding finance?

Yes. The full report includes a comprehensive finance check that tells you if the vehicle has any outstanding finance agreements, meaning the seller may not legally own it. Finance data provided by Experian.

How do you detect mileage fraud?

We cross-reference the advertised mileage against every recorded MOT reading and any previous listing data. If the numbers don’t add up, we’ll 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 valuations - each with low, average, and high estimates. The full report also includes future value predictions so you can see where the price is heading, and historical valuation data showing how the vehicle’s value has changed over time.

What should I check when buying a used car?

At a minimum, check the vehicle’s MOT history, outstanding finance, stolen status, and write-off history. You should also verify the mileage against MOT records and previous listings. Our full report covers all of these and more in a single PDF.

How can I check if a car has outstanding finance?

Our full report includes a comprehensive finance check. If the vehicle has outstanding finance, the seller may not legally own it - and you could lose the car and your money if you buy it. Finance data 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 (clocking) is when the odometer is wound back to make a vehicle appear less used. We detect this by cross-referencing the advertised mileage against every MOT reading and previous listing. If the numbers don’t 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 confirms the vehicle’s identity. Always check the VIN matches the V5C logbook when buying a used car - mismatches could indicate fraud or a cloned vehicle.

Who is Brego?
