cartell
I used car tell joe found it good
I used Cartell a few times, but twice I've had issues with it.. I bought an m3 off a chap that was a fianancr repo, he had bought it from a dealer and finance was cleared, yet 2 years later it came up on Cartell as finance outstanding, I rang them and queried it and the contacted the bank, and then updated there system... I could have not bought a perfectly good car over it...
2nd time, I could have missed a perfectly good car again, the mileage was showing up as being wrong, can't remember exact figures but it was something like say 70k miles, then 80k miles then 60k miles about a year privious??? But on the clock I was reading 110k miles???? I said no way was 50k put on the car in a year ....
Know what it was? Some gobshite seen 100k on the clock and assumed it was Kilometers when it was miles and that's where the red flagged 60k miles came out of..... Hope that makes sense..
I'm not saying ignore the report, but just be open minded,

joe thr only way you could get it free is if you knee someone in a garage that uses it and would check the reg for you another one is mywheels.ie but i presume they all use the same info

Cartell seems to be the best... found the reports more comprehensive than mywheels or motorcheck.
If you have a few you want to check Joe you can get a package and works out a good bit cheaper than buying individual checks.
Also cars over a certain age are cheaper too.
As per Ken's posts, you still need to realise that their info could be wrong / out of date, so only an indication and not the be all and end all... however a good start when evaluating a motor.
