Don't trust if 100% though as Ive heard of people getting clean bills of health on bikes they know were write-offs. Good to check though as if your bike does come up dirty, then at least you haven't wasted £30

Tried it - probably get marketing info now (who cares?)
Gave an accurate, but not very informative answer - more details on the end of this premium rate number

especially 5 for £25 on checkabike if you're shopping around (and a quality report). Instigator

dunno why i choose mcn clear all the same.

you really do need the engine, chassis and the v5c number in the top right circle on the front of the reg certificate,at the very least, they are not very insistant on all this, will take your money but without all the info you cant claim if it all goes wrong. I was the victim of a cloning scam, the engine and chassis numbers had been changed and matched the log book which was a forgery, quite a few blanks having been stolen from dvla,the number in the circle sort of ties all the info together. i lost the car and £10500 so be careful, my thieves have been caught and are awaiting trial and there is a vague chance of getting some money back but it has to be shared with the other 70 victims

the mcn one is very detail'd, it wanted all that info and evan the v5 issue date.
