We built Cheap As Checks for one simple reason: car checks should not be expensive.

People buy used cars every day, and the risks are real. So why should the basic safety net cost a fortune? We decided to make it fair, fast, and frankly a bit more fun.

The short version

  • We are officially the cheapest checking platform out there.
  • We added automatic discounts so the price drops as you go.
  • We offer trade pricing because traders do not need markups, they need volume.

No faff. No hoops. Just the info you need, at a price that feels right.

Why pricing matters

A vehicle check is not a luxury. It is the minimum you should do before handing over money for a used car. If the price of a check is too high, people skip it. That is the moment things go wrong.

We set the pricing so the check is easy to say yes to. The goal is simple: more checks, fewer nasty surprises.

What you get

We focus on clarity and speed, with reports that cover the big risks:

  • outstanding finance
  • stolen markers
  • write-off history
  • identity and plate changes
  • MOT history and mileage

You can run a quick free check first, and upgrade when you are ready to buy.

A more human way to buy a car

Used car buying is already stressful. We believe the process should feel lighter, clearer, and less salesy. That is why the site looks playful, the reports are straightforward, and the pricing is honest.

If that sounds like your kind of thing, you are in the right place.
