A trade vehicle check is the most basic form of checking a vehicle's history and current condition. It is essential for those looking to buy, sell, trade, or register a car.
A trade vehicle check can be used to identify if any previous claims have been made against the vehicle, such as damage from an accident, whether there are any special financial interests in the car, and if it has been reported stolen or written off by an insurer.
Furthermore, it also covers areas such as registration status, compliance with emission standards, and car parts history checks. All this information can be extremely useful in making informed trade decisions about a particular car—from mechanical condition to price and value.
