In the never-ending process to provide more free vehicle data to our customers, we have finally introduced our free warning system, which includes 3 types of warnings on our free initial check.
We have introduced 3 new warnings to our initial check (which you can try yourself by entering a registration on the homepage).
Below we have explained the warnings and what they may mean about a vehicle’s history.
Whilst fairly generic, the hidden history warning shows that a vehicle has hidden history, this could be a number of issues but usually indicated a vehicle has accident damage.
The salvage warning means that a vehicle registration has been seen on salvage auction and could indicate previous accident damage.
The mileage issue warning could mean several things:
From time to time, some vehicles may display multiple warnings.
These statistics were collected between the 5th and 19th of June 2020 (2 weeks). These warnings only include free searches that were performed via the initial check (and not our paid standard and deluxe checks).
Out of all free search warnings issued:
Overall free search warning statistics:
The main aim of free warnings is to offer users a better all round experience. we are aiming for a 10% warning rate on free searches overall by the end of this year.
Simply perform a search on the homepage or by entering the registration below. If we know the vehicle has any of the issues explained above, we’ll display a warning at the top of the initial report.

As far as we are aware, we are offering more free warning data in terms of a vehicle’s history than any other vehicle history checking website.
No, our free warnings system is something we want to keep working on and improving over time, but at the minute our deluxe check is the best way to check a vehicles history. We previously compiled deluxe check data in March 2019 and found that 30% of vehicles failed and 6% had warnings.
