Check salvage and recorded damage history
A salvage and damage history check looks for insurance write-off, salvage and loss records associated with the vehicle. When supplied, REGUP can show the write-off category or status, loss date, insurer and recorded damage locations.
A record does not automatically tell you the current repair quality. It tells you that the history needs careful investigation and that value, insurance and future resale may be affected.
What the result can include
- Write-off or salvage marker
- Insurance category or status
- Date of loss
- Insurer details where supplied
- Recorded damage locations
Categories and terminology can vary by record date and provider. Ask for photographs, estimates, invoices, alignment measurements and evidence of who repaired the vehicle.
Why a physical inspection still matters
A database record cannot assess welds, corrosion, chassis alignment, airbag replacement, paint depth or the quality of structural repairs. Arrange an independent inspection by a suitably qualified professional, especially when structural damage or a serious category is recorded.
No record versus unavailable
No record found requires an explicit clear provider flag. If the write-off or salvage status is missing or inconclusive, REGUP displays Not available. A clean database result also cannot guarantee that every unreported incident has been captured.
Before you buy
Compare the report with the VIN, V5C, MOT history and seller's written description. Obtain an insurance quote that declares the history and consider how the marker affects price and resale. Walk away if the seller minimises the record or cannot document the repair.
This paid datapoint uses the existing licensed car-history source.

Salvage / Damage History Check FAQs
Is a salvage or write-off record always unsafe?
Not necessarily, but safety depends on the damage and repair quality. Obtain repair evidence and an independent professional inspection.
Does No record found guarantee no accident?
No. It means no record was found in the supplied data. Unreported incidents or incomplete coverage may still exist.
What does Not available mean?
The provider did not supply a conclusive write-off or salvage status, so REGUP cannot present a clear result.
Will the history affect insurance and value?
It can. Declare the history when requesting insurance and consider its effect on price and future resale.
