Verdict
Car Analytics’ Full check is well specified for £10.99: outstanding finance, stolen, write-off, mileage, MOT, keepers, plate and colour changes, VIN match, a valuation, high-risk markers, ex-taxi and salvage history.
Two things hold it back. Its data guarantee is £10,000, a third of the £30,000 most rivals offer, valid for 12 months and excluding mileage claims. And its site blocked direct access during our review, so our facts come from Car Analytics’ own pages as indexed by search engines. We’ve marked confidence as low until we can verify them directly.
How Car Analytics scores
| Criterion | Weight | Score | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coverage and included checks | 30% | 8.5 | The Full check lists core checks plus MOT, keepers, plates, colour, VIN match, valuation and high-risk markers. |
| Price and value | 25% | 7.5 | £10.99 for a full check, but the guarantee is £10,000 and add-ons raise the total. |
| Risk clarity | 20% | 7.0 | Core checks are listed, but the guarantee excludes mileage, which weakens confidence in that result. |
| Pricing transparency | 10% | 6.0 | The “from £0.99” headline is a tier with no finance, stolen or write-off checks, and there are paid add-ons. |
| Report usability | 15% | 7.0 | Scored conservatively: we could not load the provider’s site directly during review. |
| Weighted score | 100% | 7.5 | Sum of each score × its weight. |

Pricing analysis
There’s a free check, a £0.99 Basic tier and the £10.99 Full check, plus optional add-ons: manufacturer service history (£8.99) and previous searches (£2.99). The “from £0.99” headline refers to Basic, which has no finance, stolen or write-off checks. We didn’t find a consumer multi-check bundle.
Guarantee: £10,000. Valid for 12 months from purchase. Mileage inaccuracy is excluded.
Usability analysis
The free tier is generous, with MOT and tax status, mileage history, specs and export status. That makes it a useful first look. We couldn’t load the provider’s site directly during review, so usability is scored conservatively.
Who Car Analytics is best for

Final verdict
Car Analytics’ Full check covers a lot for £10.99, but the smaller guarantee and its exclusions make the £30,000-guarantee checks safer buys for most people.
