Checking car imported from UK

Very quick and efficient service, with all the info you could ask for. A follow up finance check verification was performed really quickly, and has put our minds at ease.

Would definitely use this service again if buying a used car in the future.

great customer service

Small discrepancy with mileage base on incorrect data input. Immediate response via the chat with clear instructions on what to do to rectify them. All was sorted within a few minutes.

My experience about outstanding finance

My experience, I think they work really well. I got a report for a car and I saw there is an outstanding finance on the car. After the owner of the car made the payment, I asked for the finance verification on the report and in a few hours they contacted the bank to check again and they informed me. Issue still there, I asked them if they can check the other day again. They are kindly accepted. Thanks to Todd for the help he support.

No proper report given after spending €40 on a car check. Ive used other car check sites in the past. All give a proper report (not a print screen) and the ability to download the PDF from a mobile phone. This service does neither. Very expensive for what you get and far inferior to competitors Ive used in the past.

My advice....use a competitor and avoid Motor Check.

Hi David,
We are sorry you feel that way however there are some inaccuracies in what you have said.
1) Our full check reports are €35 not €40.
2) All customers have access to an online account and can login to see the full report at any time via either desktop or mobile devices. This is a fully interactive online report and not a print screen as you have referred to it.
3) It is possible to choose to print or download a PDF file when you login from a desktop device.
4) If you want a mobile version of a PDF file this is also available but mobile browsers work differently to desktop browsers and all mobile browsers have the ability to "share" the report as a PDF as this is part of the functionality of the mobile browser you are using.
5) The content and data that you will receive on a MotorCheck report is far superior to that which you will receive from any competitor in the market.

Excellent service

Excellent service. Stevan was more than helpful discovering that the car I was interested in was written off. He included full details of the write off and even included pictures of when it was crashed 7 years ago. Will definitely be using motorcheck.ie again.

Motorcheck is indispensable

Hi. Motorcheck is brilliant. I want to buy a jeep and motorcheck flagged that there was an outstanding hp finance issue. It got cleared but I needed confirmation. They went out of there way to get it checked for me early on Monday morning the minute the banks opened, after immediate replies over the weekend. I would have lost out on the car without them. Great service. If I could give more than ten out of ten I would.
I had a 4 hour journey to meet the jeep seller and motorcheck have made my day. Wish more were like them.

I spent a year looking for a mint low mileage Celica, found one and got a motorcheck report which said it had been an insurance write-off but provided no details of why but did give date. Date was within current owners ownership, but owner swore that it had never had any accident. Long story short, Motorcheck was wrong, but in the week it took them to admit mistake and correct it I'd lost the car to another buyer.. and maybe I'll never find another mint low mileage Celica.. very sad, Motorcheck blame insurance companies for giving incorrect data, all I know is i paid for a incorrect report and lost the car as a result.

100% recommended

Great service and support! Worth every penny. I found out that the car I was about to buy had been written-off 2 years ago. The team explained everything I needed to know on their live chat and answered all my questions regarding insurance and technical inspections. Very very helpful. Thank you so much! :)

Company advertises the reports as FREE

Company advertises the reports as FREE, will make you pay after you already enter the license plate.

I would not trust this company with anything, check their website and you'll see publicly multiple negative reviews disguised as 5 stars just so they don't get censored.

Hi Sam,
There is a free basic identity check available via the website but you should not expect to receive a fully comprehensive car history report for free as there is a cost to acquiring all of the relevant data on a vehicle. We do not advertise anywhere that you can get a full report for free.

For further information please see: https://www.motorcheck.ie/faqs/free-car-check/

And for clarification this is what we say about our free check on our website:

What does the free car check contain?
The free vehicle identity check from Motorcheck.ie will tell you the following details about the vehicle:

- A brief Vehicle Description including the Make, Model and Version
- The Body Type including the number of doors and body description
- The Fuel Type of the vehicle (EG: Pertol, Diesel etc.)
- The Transmission Type of the vehicle (EG: Manual, Auto etc.)
- The Colour of the vehicle
- If the vehicle was imported from the UK we will display an alert on the free check screen to this effect
- We will also show the number of records we hold on the vehicle (but please note that this includes ALL vehicle records and not just negative ones)
- Finally the free car check will also display the report options available to purchase from Motorcheck.ie
