Reports are compiled from official and industry sources, including DVLA, DVSA and Experian records, and are advisory only. They are not a substitute for a physical inspection of the vehicle.

Why SortedCars?

Pay for what you need

No bloated bundles. Add individual checks from £1.99 and pay one flat price for the report you build.

Data straight from the source

Live DVLA and DVSA records, plus Experian provenance — stolen, finance, write-off and mileage. An optional Experian Data Guarantee applies to full provenance reports (Experian's terms apply).

One clean report

Every check you choose lands in a single combined report — on screen and as a tidy PDF you can keep, print or share.
