No lengthy waits. Get your complete vehicle history report instantly after payment, ready to view online.
The Hidden Damage Problem
Every year, thousands of damaged vehicles are sold through salvage auctions, repaired, and resold. Many of these vehicles:
- Were never claimed through insurance
- Have structural damage that affects safety
- Were written off in one name and re-registered in another
- Show no trace in standard vehicle checks like AA's
Our salvage auction check searches these records, giving you visibility that AA and other traditional providers simply don't offer.
Did you know? Up to 1 in 4 used cars has hidden history that doesn't appear on standard checks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Green Flag's data as accurate as AA's?
Absolutely. We source our data from the same official channels - DVLA, the Police National Computer, finance houses, and insurance records. The difference is we also include salvage auction data that AA doesn't.
How can Green Flag be cheaper with more data?
We've built our platform from the ground up to be efficient. By cutting unnecessary overheads and focusing on what matters - comprehensive vehicle data - we deliver better value than legacy providers like AA.
What's the difference between a write-off check and salvage auction check?
A write-off check shows vehicles officially recorded as total losses by insurers. Our salvage auction check goes further - it reveals vehicles sold through salvage channels that may have been repaired without going through official write-off processes. This catches many vehicles that slip through standard checks.
Do I need to be an AA member to use their check?
No, AA's vehicle check is available to everyone. However, at £14.99 it's more expensive than Green Flag's £9.99, and doesn't include salvage auction data. You get more for less with Green Flag.
