Vehicle registration check

[daffidazey]

We are looking at buying a new (used) car. I understand it is best to have a vehicle registration check done first, but when I google it, loads come up. I don't know where to start, they are all varying prices and info etc.
Just wondering if any of you have used one of these sites and have any recommendations.
Many thanks,

A good site for used cars prices and lots of other info is parkers.

I've used Cartext (accessible via mobile phone text) for some time and it's already prevented me buying 2 x "Cat A" write-offs in the last two years! BRILLIANT service!

This is their website....................

Thanks, both of you.
I have just used Cartext, SurreyGuy. All came back ok.

dont like to worry you but its never 100%, epecially if you are buying privately, it wont show a cloned vehicle as it doesnt give registered keeper details..
