Great a app very easy to use didn't take to long to go through it
Old guy not computer litterate found it very easy to use
Don’t hand over any money till checking
Agreed a price, left deposit, decided to do a quick check and found cat n. Seller denied knowledge but then relisted anfain without disclosing after he was told it was illegal. Dishonesty is rife in the world nowadays. I’ve never checked a car before so was a bit shocked to get result. Thank you RAC. Has made my membership so much more than just breakdown cover . :)
Fabulous service
Fabulous service. Only the RAC full check helped me avoid a great financial loss.
I advise everyone, just dont go for basic checks, go for full checks which is little above £ 14 but saves you great headaches
Don't buy without doing this
Excellent service providng valuable information and peace of mind. I walked away from one car due to the information discovered on the check when the dealership was not honest about the car and it's history. Just bought my new 2nd hand car and would not buy a used car ever without using the check. At under £15 it is a no brainer for me.

Essential!
Recommended if you are buying a used car, especially privately. Gives a complete breakdown of a vehicles history, faults, finance etc. £14 well spent or £11 for RAC Members.

I was in the midst of purchasing a vehicle and needed a speedy report. I tried a “free” report which was in fact not free. RAC report was pretty much instant and offers a guarantee.
