04How it works

How to check for taxi use

  1. 1
    Enter the VIN or plate

    The VIN is more reliable: plates change after re-registration, the VIN does not.

  2. 2
    View the free report

    The car, registrations and market price — right away.

  3. 3
    Open the full report

    Licence, carrier and service types, plus accidents, mileage and wanted status.

05What to check

Signs the car was a taxi

  • 01
    High mileage in a short time

    A taxi covers several times more than a private car — compare mileage readings by date.

  • 02
    A company or sole trader among the owners

    Taxi fleets often register cars to a company.

  • 03
    Wear does not match the mileage

    A worn driver’s seat, wheel and pedals at “low” mileage are a reason to look closer.

  • 04
    Marks from a roof sign and stickers

    Holes in the roof, glue residue on the doors, extra wiring for a meter.

Questions and answers

How do I check whether a car was a taxi?

Enter the VIN or plate: the full report shows whether the car is listed in a carrier licence for taxi or other services, who the carrier is and since when each service applies.

Can I check a taxi licence by plate?

Yes, by plate and by VIN. The VIN is more reliable: after re-registration the plate changes and the old plate no longer finds the car.

What if the car no longer works as a taxi?

The check shows the car’s current link to a licence. If the car was removed from the licence file there is no record — mileage by date, owner history and an inspection help then.

Why is an ex-taxi a risk?

A taxi covers several times more than a private car: the engine, gearbox, suspension and interior wear faster, and the odometer is often rolled back before sale.

How much does it cost?

The free report is instant. A full report for one car is a one-off payment; report packs cover several cars.
