Sometimes, you’ll be buying a used car and everything looks perfect – gleaming paint, fresh tyres, maybe even a suspiciously low price. But looks can be deceiving. That ‘dream motor’ might have kissed a lamppost, clocked more miles than a moon mission, or been stitched back together after a crash.

That’s where VINSPY comes in. With its fast and reliable VIN check tool, you can uncover your car’s past in minutes, no matter where it’s from.

Think of it as a background check for your wheels. After all, you wouldn’t buy a house without getting a survey done, so why gamble with your car?

Your car’s fingerprint

Every car carries a VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) – a unique 17-character code that’s stamped into its paperwork and chassis. You’ll usually find it on registration documents, the dashboard near the windscreen or inside the driver’s side door.

Simply enter that number into  VINSPY’s free VIN checker  and you can see where and when your car was built, its exact model, whether it’s ever been stolen and if it’s subject to any open recalls.

Check your VIN for free

Why bother checking?

Recent studies show that hidden problems like odometer manipulation affect a significant share of used cars in Europe, especially in cross-border sales*.

So, your new motor might look showroom-fresh, but without a proper history check, you could be rolling the dice with thousands of pounds. That's why VINSPY is here to help you skip the guesswork and see the facts before you buy – whether the vehicle comes from inside or outside of Europe.

Dig deeper

Of course, a free VIN check is just the start. For  only £9, you can unlock a full VINSPY vehicle history report to uncover additional details that the seller may prefer to keep hidden. This in-depth record includes:

Accident and damage history

Odometer records

Archive images of the car through the years

Previously registered countries

Theft records from stolen vehicle databases

Common problems and safety recalls
