Buying a used car can be risky, and many problems are impossible to spot just by looking at the vehicle. Experian's data shows that 73% vehicles checked have a hidden history issue*, meaning there's a real chance a car may have been written off, stolen, or still have outstanding finance without the seller disclosing it. An Experian AutoCheck gives you vital information about a vehicle's past, including whether it has ever been written off, has active finance, or is currently recorded as stolen. It also verifies key details provided by the seller, helping you confirm the vehicle's true identity and avoid costly mistakes. AutoCheck is quick, affordable, and easy to use. By running a trusted vehicle history check before you buy, you can make a confident, informed decision — and increase your chances of buying a car you'll genuinely love. * Based on web-based AutoChecks between 1 Jan 2026 - 31 Mar 2026
