My Car Checkunveils two new Reg Plate cartoons

My Car Check, the UK's No.1 consumer vehicle data provider, has unveiled two new Reg Plate cartoons to help get the message across that you should always do a history check when buying a used car.

Roger Powell, Head of CDL Vehicle Information Services (which owns My Car Check), commented: "The Reg Plate cartoons are a bit of fun but they help to get the message across that you should always do a history check when buying a used car. You wouldn't buy a house without a survey so why run the risk when spending hundreds or thousands of pounds on a secondhand car?

"For the price of a few litres of fuel, My Car Check can confirm whether your potential pride and joy has ever been scrapped, stolen or written-off, has any money owing on it, has had a plate or colour change and much more. We check vans and motorbikes too and also do vehicle valuations, which are a great tool for haggling with dealers or private sellers."

MyCarCheck.com's parent company, CDL Vehicle Information Services, performs over a million look-ups a day for companies including AutoExpress, CompareTheMarket, Confused.com, Go-Compare, Moneysupermarket, Swiftcover, Tesco Compare and WhatCar?.

It uses up-to-the-minute data from the police, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), the Association of British Insurers (ABI) and all major finance houses including Lloyds TSB and Santander.
