Car History Check by txt Msg or Debit Card (£3 UCR or £5 RAC)
 

First we have the basic £3 txt message service as shown on the Used Car Roadshow website:

http://www.usedcarroadshow.co.uk/UCR-textcheck%20v5.gif

This is one of the 2 messages you get back:

<you car make & model>
<vin bumber> date of manufacturer
Amount of owners
Colour changes
Stolen?
Scrapped?

Second Message
This requires a debit/credit car but looks quite a bit more detailed than the txt msg service and covers you upto £5000 if the data is wrong.
