carVertical is a global, VIN-led service spanning 45+ countries. If you're buying a car in the UK, you just want to enter the number plate. VRMCheck is UK-first: type a reg and get the full history for £5.97 — no 17-digit VIN, no bundle required.
No credit bundles to buy up front. Pay £5.97 only when you've found the car worth checking.
Don't hunt for a 17-digit VIN on the windscreen. Enter the UK plate you already have.
DVLA, DVSA, the national finance register and keeper/plate history — the records that matter for a UK purchase.
The core data both services offer — plus UK keeper & plate history carVertical doesn't surface.

carVertical is excellent if you're importing a car, buying across borders, or only have a VIN. Its global data reach across 45+ countries is genuinely broader than any UK-only service.
But if you're buying a used car in the UK, you're holding a number plate — not a VIN. VRMCheck is built around that workflow: enter the reg, see free MOT and tax status instantly, then unlock a full DVLA/DVSA/finance report for £5.97.
carVertical sells reports in bundles (two or three cars at a time). That's great if you're screening several cars — VRMCheck's free summary already does that part. You only pay once you've found the one you actually want.
