Habe mir 2 Berichte geholt. Bei beiden waren keine Vorschäden eingetragen, obwohl beide Autos laut Händler Vorschäden (5.000 und 13.000€) hatten die bei Vertragswerkstätten (VW) gerichtet wurden. Aber schnell und übersichtlich.

Scam

Would leave 0 star if I could. Used my own number plate to check my car’s history, before you use a credit it shows as a bmw m5 correctly. Soon as you use a credit it says the car is a bmw 330d, what an absolute rip off

Last minute check

Saw the link on Mat Armstrong and Calvin’s vlogs . I was nearly in my way to buy a car and decided to check it out. So glad I did as the car wasn’t what it seemed . The check clarified everything I needed to know . Found more damage than disclosed and an issue with ownership . Didn’t buy it . All good thank you worth every penny especially with the MAT discount

Scam

The data provided is incorrect and they don’t want to know. I struggled to sell a car because dealers using car vertical kept telling me the car was written off. After a phone call to DVLA and a full HPI report this was in fact incorrect due to a private number plate previously assigned to the vehicle was written off on a separate vehicle. Also I purchased a car which car vertical stated had 2 previous owners. When the V5 turned up it had 7. Again they are not interested. Save the hassle and do a full HPI report. You have been warned.

Mhh… naja…

Update: ich habe meine Abfrage für meinen Golf erstattet bekommen. Daher gehe ich erstmal wieder auf 4 Sterne hoch. Wenn die nächste Abfrage besser wird, dann gehen wir auf 5 Sterne. Danke an den Support, hat keine 10 Stunden gedauert von der Nachricht bis zu Erstattung. Viel über CarVertical gehört, viel gutes aus verschiedenen Quellen. Habe dann mal meinen 2014er Golf überprüft und gefunden hat CarVertikal… nichts… also ja, das Auto existierte, aber nichts war drin im System. Gar nicht. Wirklich nichts. Kein TÜV, keine Unfälle die ich selbst damit hatte und über die Versicherung abgerechnet wurden, nichts. Das Auto ist mit 15km in CarVertical gelistet. Er hat inzwischen 208.000 km. Nichts konnte mir das program dadrüber sagen. Gar nichts. Hat man bei solchen schlechten Abfragen die Möglichkeit sein Geld für die Abfrage wieder zu bekommen? Mal schauen. Wenn es die Möglichkeit gibt für derartig schlecht abfragen sein Geld zurück zu bekommen und wenn ich zukünftig bessere Anfragen bekomme, dann ändern sich vielleicht nochmal die Sterne.

50/50

Die App ist ok. Der Preis ist immer der selbe, egal ob Daten für ein Fahrzeug hinterlegt sind oder nicht. Ebenso gibt es keine Einschätzung wie valide diese Daten und die Aussage ist. Hier bezahlt ma lediglich für eine Abfrage bei Dritten. Der Service bei Problem oder Fragen ist eher lahm. Die Abrechnung ist nicht transparent, ebenso wie das löschen der Berichte nach kurzer Zeit oder das verfallen der nicht genutzten Credits. Eine Rechnung wird nicht automatisch bereit gestellt und auf Nachfrage dauert es auch. Sowas sollte heutzutage immer unabhängig für den Kunden abzurufen sein. Ein gutes Gefühl kriegt man bei erfolgreichem Abruf der Daten für ein Fahrzeug dennoch, wenn ansonsten alles unbekannt war.

Poor UX and incomplete data

A huge faff to get logged in. In the app you can’t save a report pdf to Files, you have to use a web browser for that. I’ve owned my car from new, 5 years old now, and at 2 weeks old it got accident damaged requiring a claim on the other party’s insurance and a month in the workshop. Nothing shown in Car Vertical. Everything else shown is available for free from gov.uk, like mileage and MOT history. No value added by Car Vertical. Feels like a rip off to be honest.

Great reports, great support

Great app with really impressive vehicle reports — both the short and full versions are clear, detailed, and very helpful. It covers a vast amount of information on a car, which gives real peace of mind. Customer support is excellent too. Even over the Christmas break, I received a quick and helpful response and my issue was resolved without hassle. The only small snag is that reports don’t seem to download properly to my iPhone, but overall I’m still 100% happy with the app and the service.

Don’t use it to find out cause of crash on CAT cars. It won’t tell you. This is not for CAT cars it’s for auction cars cos it doesn’t give you any information about the damage. I bought 3 reports for 3 cars and they were all cat. It didn’t give me any extra info than autotrader free report

High price,for mainly low info

Have checked many cars with CarVertical. 90% of the cars have no info at all,or just 1 mileage info. High price for low info. I rather do vehicle check with dealer. Its higher price but info is much much better,and source is trusted. On Car Vertical many car damages are listed without pictures or naming source. Only one car had pictures,from add and full milege history About 15 car i have checked so far. Its not a good number....

Unable to create new report on app

Can’t do anything other than buy new reports and see existing ones. There are no other menus or buttons visible. Suspect this may be as I am on a 4.7 inch screen (iPhone se 2022) and something is cut off the screen . When I reported it I just got told they would pass along feedback. Even on the website you have to click around a lot to use a reg plate rather than a VIN , see others reporting similar.

Unless the car you are looking to buy is a CAT car I wouldn’t bother! The app is sloppy and doesn’t work properly at times…also expensive for each report and unless your car has been in a crash it doesn’t tell you any special information.

App needs improvement - patience needed!

Does this work? The short answer is yes, however server response is slooowww and it looks like you get billed and nothing happens for an unreasonable length of time. The next time you login, your credits maybe visible, even though the transaction is complete. Biggest gripe here is that it then asks for you to do another purchase and doesn't recognise the credits. They do eventually turn up and then the search is smooth and informative. This is poor app design and it should inform the user that credits are pending verification and please wait. Unfortunately, this is also reflected in the web app, so overall could have a better customer interface. App also asks whether you want to save 20% - think this might be a multi-buy option, but this is not clear and you do seem to have a discount applied. Additionally I was notified I had a further 10% applied to account by email, but again not sure that it was and no code was given...

Out of no where they have added the VIN as a requirement. This service used to be a great way of checking the honesty of adverts, particularly for previous owners, without needing to contact the seller, the required VIN has made it useless. Until they reverse this feature save your money.
