Fantastic website! I have been looking at cars all day and things like Golf R's are highly likely to have been in an accident etc.

I came across a car KU15 NFR and it says it has been to the auctions twice yet it's HPI clear!!! If you could provide photos that would be great, i'm just curious to see what the damage was like.

I just paid to do another check on a car which does come back with a salvage record Dl15 fvm, but when i enter my card details it says there is no data found? Can you check if there is an issue?

I teamed up with https://www.vehicleancestry.co.uk/ who was DB from last 10 years from over 370 is councils. They are working to have 100% coverage for those years and have 10 more to go. Data is updated every 2-3 months from all of them.

This is another set of data, similar to salvage stuff, which none of the dealers wants to know about.

Imagine 2-year-old Merc, with no first MOT yet. 10k on the clock but was registered as a taxi for 1 year... It takes 25k miles a year for a taxi to make any income, so you get an idea what possibly happened there ;)

Yea, well you might well have alot of business from dealers, they are wary of ex-Taxi's that turn up for part-ex and stuff.

Trust me I have a very good relationship with Vehicle Ancestry and Trade doesn't want to know about it. The owner has been trying for years now to get it into the trade.

Merc, Toyota, and Ford are the most popular make for Taxis.

Regular people who are ripped off are the ones who need to know.

We are making our FB page live aswell, where we will be posting listing from dealers across Uk on a daily basis with salvaged cars. Cargiant is the first one to hit the list today.

Do you ever wonder what happens with ex-Police cars? This example came back to use as a personal car, sold as Category C write-off and clocked "only" 150k before first MOT. It looks current owner has no idea of its past, as it was done before him. The car received a new interior, which is common with ex-Police cars, as they come with basic spec.

@Arnie just used vcheck to do a search on a car and it came up with an alert showing that it was exported in 2017. Something I was expecting to find.

It has since come back into the UK as it's now for sale here and you also have records for it's change of keeper and new MOT from earlier this year. Is there anywhere in your search that shows when it came back into the UK.

The import check on your report shows it as not imported, is this because it was originally a UK car?

It is actually interesting as if it was imported it should have import marker as well. DVLA is slow with updating their stuff and I will email them right now. Can you PM me link to an advert?

If a car is exported and re-imported can it lose it's write off markers and stuff?

Unless somebody emvoes marker here in Uk in the mean but it is recorded with VIN so when returning the car it will have all past history with it.

I had confirmation from DVLA that this will not remove the marker as it is VIN related but the only way to test it is to buy one shed on Copart and export and reimport it again ;)

Proper ones but had some crappy ones too. Most use the same law company via subscription service.
But last dealings we had on legal stuff, delaer was advised to respond to our post on FB and not to pursue further action as nothing can be done.
