What is a Car Specs Check?

A Car Specs Check lets you quickly look up a vehicle’s official factory details using just the registration number. You’ll see key information such as make, model, body style, engine size, fuel type, CO2 emissions, tax status, and MOT history. Checking car specifications helps you confirm the basics before you view, buy, insure, or value a car.
