For buyers
See what was checked before you buy the car

Checks are recorded by the dealer as they inspect the car and can't be edited once the report is completed. VehicleFaults is independent of the seller · we only show you the record.

What the certificate means
Someone actually looked at this car
The checklist fits the exact car
Engine, gearbox, year and mileage · the issues that specific model is known for, not a generic tick sheet.
The dealer works through it
Every item is marked pass or fault, with notes and photos kept against the vehicle. Nothing is ticked off in bulk.
You can check it yourself
The reference on the certificate opens the record online, so you're not taking anyone's word for it.
