Damage history
We check over 300 million damage records to show you where and when the damage occurred, and what the repairs might’ve cost (if that data is available).
Leave no car unchecked
Check & compare vehicle history. Rule out problem cars. Make the right call.
Salvage Rebuilds recommend checking every car on the shortlist for:
Past damage & write-offs
Running costs & road tax
Outstanding finance
Mileage rollbacks & tampering
Why check every car on your shortlist?
- Mileage issues affect value. Spot rollbacks early and avoid overpaying for a car that’s worth less than it looks.
- Damage isn’t always obvious. Past accidents and write-offs don’t always show up in photos, free MOT checks, or test drives.
- Running costs vary more than you think. Similar cars can cost very different amounts keep on the road.
- Outstanding finance can block a sale. Unpaid loans can become your problem if you don’t catch them in time.
