As above, just beware that the car is not on false plates. Check the VIN ( vehicle identification number) matches the v5 (registration document) and the VIN has not been tampered with.

If you just want to check if a car is stolen there's a few sites you can do this for free by entering a registration (and registering):

But, If you want to buy the car I would do a full check as well.
