Why is a Plate Change Check Important?
A plate change check is an essential feature in our vehicle history check. This check provides detailed information about any changes to a vehicle’s registration number throughout its history. Here’s what it typically involves:
Historical Record of Plate Changes
This feature tracks and lists all the previous registration numbers that have been assigned to the vehicle. It shows when each plate change occurred, providing a timeline of the vehicle’s registration history.
Revealing Hidden Histories
Plate changes can sometimes be a sign of a vehicle’s hidden past. For instance, they might be used to disguise the vehicle’s history, like concealing previous accidents or damages. A plate change check helps uncover such potential discrepancies.
Preventing Fraud
It’s crucial for detecting fraudulent activities, such as ‘cloning’. Cloning involves replacing the number plate of a stolen vehicle with that of a legitimate one to mask its true identity. A plate change check can alert potential buyers to such issues.
Enhancing Buyer Confidence
By providing a clear record of any number plate changes, this check offers peace of mind to buyers, assuring them of the vehicle’s authenticity and helping them make informed purchase decisions.
