Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 62 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers found the service to be very helpful and a necessary part of buying a car, providing valuable insights into a vehicle's history, faults, and potential issues. They appreciated that the service could save them from scams and headaches, offering a good understanding of what they were considering purchasing, often at a reasonable price compared to competitors. Some also highlighted the ease of use and the detailed information provided, with the free check often being considered excellent. However, a significant number of people expressed dissatisfaction with the pricing, feeling that the checks were too expensive for the information received, especially when similar details could be obtained for less or even for free elsewhere. Many reviewers felt misled by the product offerings, as they often had to pay extra for service history reports, even after purchasing what they believed to be a 'full' or 'comprehensive' report. There were also complaints about inaccurate or missing information in the reports, including incorrect vehicle images, false red flags, or a lack of data for which customers were still charged. Payment issues, such as being charged multiple times or experiencing difficulties with card details, were also reported.

Brilliant Site with all the inforamtion at your finger tips!

This site takes away an awful lot of questions that should be asked by a potential buyer. The access to it makes considering purchasing a vehicle simpler. The amount of information you can learn about your vehicle & its past history is astonishing. Great App to have & to top it off -its inexpensive for that peace of mind!

Registered with TopCashback but does not payout

Another Trickster company. Don't bother with this lot if you are claiming cashback through TopCashback. VehicleScore is refusing claims. Look for a more reputable company.

I am happy to help you understand your company policy. You entered into a partnership with TopCashback to give rewards to your customers who paid to use your services, are you with me so far? I paid to use your services via an active TopCashback link but when it came to getting the reward I was informed by Topcashback that payment was refused. I hope that helps to clarify matters for you. If you need any further help I will be happy to indulge you, alternatively, you could try reading your own terms & conditions.

Peace of mind with no hidden suprises

Rather than relying on a stranger's word on their vehicle you can find out most - mot's need looking up on .gov.
things to give peace of mind.
Finance, damage, or loss problems far outweigh the cost of less than 10 pounds to give peace of mind.

Appears accurate

I checked both of my cars, the information appears accurate. The only doubt was the value of the cars.
Both appeared higher than expected, checking other sources, the values were a good bit lower. Whilst I should be pleased with the values shown by Vehicle score, if these values are not achievable its rather unhelpful.

Just paid £11.97 to see what…

Just paid £11.97 to see what information I was missing ie any damage or photos or anything repairs , services etc …..

What did I get ….. absolute rubbish, nothing I didn’t know before .
I emailed them and got a reply within minutes… looks like some guy/girl are just waiting for another sucker to press buy .

I was told I couldn’t get the information anywhere else for free …

So if you want to pay £11.97 to see how many owners it has because you can’t get that for free lol or how many times the reg has been changed pay your hard earned money away to them ….

Hey,

Sorry to hear you were dissatisfied with your report. Usually, people are happy with a clean report, as it means their vehicle is not on finance, written-off etc. The data we provide in this report can not be found else where for free, hence why this is a paid service, as we have to pay for the data ourselves.

Happy to refund you if you can get in touch. Like you mentioned, we reply within minutes because we care about our customers. We're sorry that the car you searched did not happen to have any damage. Is this something you was hoping to see? If so get in touch and we can figure out what your expectations were, and why they may be different to what you was expecting.

Thanks for using VehicleScore

Nice easy and quick and not too costly…

Nice easy and quick and not too costly to check before buying really. The car I’m looking at did have a previous mot comment which I’ll check out before going ahead other than that a pretty good comprehensive check before sale - reassuring thank you.
