Car History Check
Discussion
It's been a good number of years since I bought a 2nd hand car of considerable (to me!) value. A quick Google suggests there are approximately a bazillion different car check sites out there promising you peace of mind.
Is there a gold standard site out there? Or are they all much of a muchness?
It sounds a good car, but just want to check there's no skeletons lurking in the cupboard. It's a 25k-ish car, so whatever the check costs is trivial compared to the potential pitfalls.

I use V check.
But - be careful that the site you think you're using is the actual site. The last time I needed it, I searched for V check. I clicked on the V check result. I didn't notice that the site it took me to wasn't V check, and got a call a few weeks later from my credit card company telling me that the company was trying to bill me monthly.
There is a thread about it on here somewhere, but basically just check the web address does match the company you think you're using

Vcheck, via their website www.vcheck.uk
Car vertical might be another shout. I checked a car recently and it turned out it had had a repair - not a write off - that car vertical picked up on that neither vcheck nor CAP HPI showed.
