    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can you check if a car is currently insured?

    We don’t provide a live 'currently insured' status check. What we can do is help you reduce insurance-related risk when buying by checking for insurance write-off history and other key vehicle history red flags in a paid report.

    What is an insurance write-off?

    A write-off is when an insurer decides a vehicle is not economical to repair after an incident. Categories can affect safety, insurability, resale value, and future repair costs.

    Why does write-off history matter when buying?

    Some vehicles are repaired well, but write-off history can indicate hidden structural damage or reduced resale value. It’s important to know before you negotiate or pay a deposit.

    Is write-off information included in the paid report?

    Yes. Our Maxi-Plus report focuses on the key buyer risks like write-off history, finance alerts, stolen markers, mileage anomalies, MOT history and more.

    What should I do if I'm worried about insurance cover for a test drive?

    Always confirm cover directly with your insurer (or the seller’s insurer) before driving. This page is focused on vehicle history risks that can affect safety and future insurance costs.
