Thank you for the great feedback. We are really glad the VIN search helped you track down the registration of your old track car.
It is always satisfying when a vehicle’s history can be pieced back together, especially when you only have the VIN to start with. That is exactly why we built the tool.
We appreciate the recommendation and if you ever need to dig into the full history of a vehicle in the future, we will be here to help.

This app is a reliable tool for obtaining comprehensive information about a specific vehicle. However, its effectiveness depends on the data provided, and it might inform you about an issue without providing details, leaving some ambiguity. It's user-friendly, which is why I rate it four stars.

Hi Michael,
With an older vehicle like a 1986 Kawasaki, our checks are naturally more detailed. Older vehicle records are often incomplete, fragmented, or held across multiple systems, which makes verifying details more time-consuming and costly than with modern vehicles. That complexity is what drives the price, not mark-ups.
Other cheaper checks usually gloss over older vehicles or return very limited results. We take the opposite approach. We dig deeper, cross-check more sources, and present the information clearly so buyers are not left guessing. That thoroughness is exactly why people use us, especially on classic and older vehicles where the risk is higher.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review, and we’re here for you in the future if you ever need another check.

Told me nothing that I couldn't get for free on DVLA website. Vehicle had been imported some years ago, but there were absolutely no details about its history prior to it being registered in the UK. I am sure it works sometimes but in my case it wasn't money well spent.

Respuesta de CAR OWL
Hi Nick,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and I am sorry to hear you felt the report was not good value in your case.
To clear this up, we do not state anywhere on our website that we can provide a full history from before an imported vehicle was first registered in the UK. That information is often not available in any UK databases, so there are natural limits on what anyone can see about the earlier life of an import.
What our report does do is cover the key risks that can affect you now in the UK. This includes checks for:
- Outstanding finance
- Insurance write off status
- Stolen markers
- Export or scrappage status
- Plate changes and other UK registration history
+ much more
All of these checks were completed on your vehicle and included in your report, even though there was no data available from before it came into the UK.
I do understand it is frustrating when you are hoping for more detail on an imported car. If you would like, email our support team with your registration number and we can go through the report with you and explain what each part means and what can and cannot be found for imported vehicles.
Thanks,
The Car Owl Team
Report was not detailed enough and was…
Report was not detailed enough and was missing description from insurance about collision of the car. There was only category mentioned and that was all. Seller was trying to hide the fact of collision and car was repaired but without knowing the damage it is hard to ensure that repairs were done properly.
13 de noviembre de 2025
Respuesta de CAR OWL
Thank you for your feedback. I understand why you wanted a full breakdown of the accident and photos of the damage. We scan official insurance write off records and those records only show the category the vehicle was placed in. Insurers do not release repair reports, photos or descriptions of the collision to any history check provider in the UK.
If that information existed in the public data we would include it. Our report showed the correct write off status so you could make an informed decision and avoid a hidden issue. If you need any help understanding the category or what it means for the car, I am happy to guide you.
Vin to reg found
I have a old kawasaki with a 12 digit vin and no reg or v5 paper work other websites would only accept a 17 digit vin I even got a m.o.t garage to check against the vin and nothing came back but car owl somehow managed find info on the bike and after paying for a premium check I now have a reg and history i couldn't be happier

Respuesta de CAR OWL
Hi James,
Thank you for sharing your experience. Older bikes with 12-digit VINs are tough to trace, and most sites will only process the 17-digit format. We’re proud that Car Owl is the only platform able to carry out a car history check on vehicles with less than 17 digits. We’re delighted we could help you uncover the registration and history for your Kawasaki when others couldn’t.
Kind regards,
The Car Owl Team

Asked for a report. Got a report.
I paid for a vehicle report. It was more expensive than other reports I ran against the same vehicle and had the same info.
That was fine I knew that before I bought it.
I left feedback stating I was sick of being pestered for reviews but they actually reached out to say they understood amd wpuld take action, which i appreciate. Im also conscious that the pestering may have been more trustpilot than CarOwl. As such my one star review is a bit mean, and not reflective of this company.
Consumers,proceed with confidence!

Thank you Ibrahim for the 5-star review. We’re glad you found the process simple and easy. Our vehicle history checks are designed to give clear, detailed information and even include a running cost calculator, so you can see the true cost of owning the car. It’s great to know this helped you.
Respuesta de CAR OWL
Thank you for your review, Noel. We’re glad you used Car Owl to check a vehicle before purchase. A full vehicle history check is always the safest step when buying a used car, as it can reveal issues such as outstanding finance, write-offs, or mileage discrepancies that sellers might not mention. We’re pleased our car check service helped give you the information you needed and we hope it made your buying decision more confident.
