Know exactly what
you're paying for.
Every check is built on real data. No guesswork, no filler. Here's what you actually get with each one.
- ✓Make, model, colour & year — confirm the basics match the advert before you travel
- ✓Engine size & fuel type — verify it's the variant you're actually looking at
- ✓Current MOT expiry date — know exactly how long is left before the next test
- ✓Road tax (VED) status — confirm it's currently taxed and legal to drive away
- ✓SORN status — flag if the vehicle is declared off-road, which affects insurance and driving legality
- ✓Registered keeper count — more keepers isn't always bad, but it's worth knowing before you ask questions
A quick sanity check before you commit to viewing. Takes two seconds — just enter the reg. If the basics don't match the advert, you've already saved yourself a wasted journey.
- ✓Everything in the Free Check — all DVLA data included as standard
- ✓Full MOT test history with advisory breakdown — every test, every advisory note, every failure. We analyse patterns so you can spot recurring problems a seller won't mention
- ✓Mileage trend analysis & clocking detection — we plot every recorded mileage against the UK average and flag any suspicious drops or inconsistencies
- ✓AI-identified model-specific faults — known issues for this exact make, model and generation, drawn from DVSA data, owner forums and specialist communities. Personalised to this car's age and mileage
- ✓DVSA recall check — all open and completed manufacturer recalls specific to this vehicle, including whether they've been actioned
- ✓Folt risk score (0–100) — a single combined rating covering model reliability, MOT history, mileage, advisories and vehicle status
- ✓10 tailored seller questions — not generic questions, but specific ones triggered by what the data found. Each one comes with context on what to listen for and what's a red flag
- ✓12-month running cost estimate — tax, MOT, servicing intervals, and any repairs flagged in the MOT history, so you know the true cost before you buy
- ✓Community & owner intelligence — sourced from specialist owner clubs, forums and enthusiast communities. What real owners say after 3 years, not what a reviewer said after 3 days
The Folt Report is built for the moment you're standing in someone's driveway deciding whether to hand over thousands of pounds. Every data point is chosen because it changes the negotiation, flags a real risk, or gives you a question that separates an honest seller from one who's hiding something.
- ✓Outstanding finance check — if the car has PCP or HP finance against it, the finance company technically owns it. Buying it means inheriting their debt. This check tells you before you pay
- ✓Stolen vehicle register search — cross-checks against the national police database. A stolen car can be seized at any point, leaving you out of pocket
- ✓Write-off category (Cat A, B, S, N) — not all write-offs are dangerous, but you need to know. A Cat S or N car repaired properly can still be a good buy — but only if you know it's there and the price reflects it
- ✓Number plate change history — private plates can be used to hide a vehicle's true age, mileage history or accident record
- ✓Keeper & VIN cross-check — verifies the number of previous registered keepers against the DVLA record and flags any VIN discrepancies
- ✓Scrapped & exported flag — confirms the vehicle hasn't been registered as scrapped or permanently exported, which can void insurance and affect resale
- ✓Colour change history — a resprayed car isn't automatically suspicious, but undisclosed colour changes can indicate a previous accident repair
- ✓Salvage status — recovered or non-structure damage classification affects insurance eligibility and resale value
- ✓High risk marker — flags third-party interests in the vehicle that could affect ownership
- ✓VSC logbooks — vehicle service history verification to confirm maintenance records
- ✓Experian data guarantee — £10,000 accuracy guarantee on all Vehicle History Report data
A car can look perfect on the outside and still have serious legal problems attached to it. Outstanding finance, a stolen marker, a hidden write-off category -- none of these show up on a visual inspection or a test drive. This check searches the records that matter, so you know exactly what you're buying before any money changes hands. Vehicle History data provided by Experian, backed by a £10,000 data accuracy guarantee.
