Car Data Check

Feel secure when you buy a used car with an RAC Car Data Check - it could save you from buying an unsafe car, or finding out you don't really own your vehicle.

With an RAC Car Data Check you get an instant on-screen report answering these vital questions about your chosen car:

  • Is the car stolen?
  • Is the car an insurance write-off?
  • Does the car have outstanding finance on it?
  • Has the car had previous plates?

You'll also get details about vehicle valuation and mileage where possible, plus a guarantee giving you up to £5,000 of cover. Terms and conditions apply.

If you would prefer to speak to one of our experienced team, you can call us on 0800 975 5867 and buy your check over the phone for £20.50.
