carVertical compares every package with single reports at the full £39.99, so with the code the 3-report package shows as −58%. Codes advertised as 50% or 70% off usually count that package saving. The code itself takes off the 20% shown in this table.

Before you pay

Run the free checks first

Our free VIN decoder shows the make, model, year and engine, and GOV.UK shows the MOT history and DVLA details at no cost. If the car is still on your list after that, a report adds recorded damage, theft records, mileage readings between MOTs and history from abroad, where records exist.

Quick answers

Yes. CARVIN takes 20% off every report package on carVertical’s UK site. We tested it there on 7 November 2026: one report fell from £39.99 to £31.99.

Do I need the code if I use your link?

How much is a carVertical report in the UK?

Who gets paid when I use CARVIN?

CheckByVIN is run by carVIN and is not carVertical. carVertical pays us a commission when you buy with the code or through our link; the price you pay is the lower one shown here.

Where do I find the VIN?

Car with arrows pointing to the VIN plate at the base of the windscreen and on the door pillar
  1. On the V5C log book: the line marked E, "VIN/Chassis/Frame no".
  2. Through the windscreen: a small plate at the bottom corner on most cars, readable from outside.
  3. On a door pillar: the manufacturer's label when you open the door.
  4. Stamped into the body: in the engine bay or under the carpet near a front seat, depending on the model.

A VIN is 17 letters and numbers and never uses I, O or Q. The number on the car must match the log book.

Don't have the VIN?

  1. Use the number plate: open the Reg plate tab of the form and search without the VIN.
  2. Ask the seller for the VIN or a photo of the V5C. Private sellers and dealers can share it before a viewing.
  3. Zoom into the advert photos: the windscreen plate is sometimes readable.
  4. At the viewing, compare the VIN on the car with the log book before you pay anything.

If a seller refuses to give the VIN or show the log book, walk away.
