VRMCheck vs VehicleScore

A score is useful. The full picture is decisive.

VehicleScore gives you a tidy free score out of 999 and MOT/tax basics. Useful for triage — but a number won't tell you if there's £8,000 of outstanding finance against the car. VRMCheck lays out every hard flag for one transparent price.

One price, no tiers

No "basic / premium / premium-plus". The full finance, write-off, stolen and keeper report is £5.97, full stop.

Each risk, not a blend

A 700/999 can still hide a write-off. VRMCheck shows finance, stolen, write-off and keeper status plainly — act on each one.

Keeper & plate history

How many previous keepers, and whether the plate has changed — the detail that tells you how a car has been treated.

A score can't say "this car has finance on it"

VehicleScore does a genuinely good job of the free triage layer — a single number, MOT/tax reminders, and a clean dashboard. For quickly ranking a shortlist it's handy.

The risk with a composite score is that it hides the legally-critical facts behind one number. A car can score well and still carry outstanding finance, or sit in a write-off category that the score smooths over. Before you hand over money, you need the raw flags, not their average.

VRMCheck gives you those flags directly — finance clear / not stolen / not a write-off, plus how many keepers and any plate changes — for a single £5.97. Use VehicleScore's free score to shortlist; use VRMCheck to buy.
