UK used EV check
The UK's only vehicle check built for electric cars
Looking to buy a used electric vehicle? Battery health decides its value, and it's the one thing an ordinary history check can't show you. Our instant EV check reveals verified battery State of Health (SoH), the real-world range it'll do today, how much battery warranty is left, how fast it charges, and even whether it can power your home or export to the grid.

Why it matters
Why battery health matters more than mileage
Unlike petrol cars, an EV's biggest hidden cost is battery degradation. A well-maintained 80,000-mile EV can have a healthier battery than a poorly-charged 30,000-mile one. Our report gives you the data sellers won't volunteer.

What's included in our checks
What your EV car history check includes
Battery health grade
Where a manufacturer battery test record exists, we show its health grade — like A+ — alongside an estimated range-retention figure, so you can see whether degradation is normal for the car’s age and model. Battery insight no standard history check gives you.
Find out moreReal-world range vs WLTP
Compare the car’s estimated real-world range today against its original WLTP figure, so you understand the true, everyday range before you buy — not after.
Find out moreRemaining battery warranty
See how many miles and months of the manufacturer’s battery warranty are left, and whether it’s still active — the safety net that covers the most expensive part of any EV.
Find out moreBattery capacity & spec
Usable and total battery capacity in kWh, plus the WLTP range it was rated for when new — the numbers that show what this EV was built to do.
Find out moreMOT history & mileage
Full DVSA MOT history with timestamped mileage at every test, so you can verify the car’s real usage and spot any odometer discrepancies.
Find out moreVehicle details
Confirmed make, model, variant, year and fuel type, drawn straight from official records so you know exactly which car you’re looking at.
Find out moreOutstanding finance & HPI
Check for active PCP or HP agreements — if unsettled, the finance company still legally owns the car. Our full EV HPI check adds Experian finance data.
Find out moreStolen & write-off history
Police National Computer stolen markers and full insurance write-off categories (Cat A, B, S, N) — the same data behind every UK HPI check.

The switch to electric is accelerating
Nearly one in four new cars sold in the UK last year was fully electric, and registrations are still climbing. As more EVs reach the used market, buying with confidence means knowing each battery's real condition — not just its mileage.
