Download (CSV, Full car check coverage): https://knownvehicle.com/checks/full-car-check.csv - Download (CSV, Basic car check coverage): https://knownvehicle.com/checks/basic-car-check.csv - Methodology: Every rendered figure is a price the vendor publishes on its own page, re-fetched and matched verbatim (the quote and its retrieval date travel with the cell), then hash-pinned; a vendor that publishes no price is listed with that fact, never an estimate. Figures are advertised single-check ENTRY prices in GBP -- bundle and subscription rates differ, and a vendor's own promotional pricing can move the day you buy, so these compare the standing advertised price rather than the checkout total. - Source: Total Car Check prices page (Gold three-check bundle price): https://totalcarcheck.co.uk/Prices - Source: HPI Check homepage (MultiCheck three-check bundle price): https://www.home.hpicheck.com/ ## Citation Cite as: "KnownVehicle Car Check Price Index", https://knownvehicle.com/checks/ (updated 2026-08-26). ## About - Operated by KnownVehicle.
