How to Check the History of Second Hand Cars in Ireland
Knowing a vehicle's history can take the stress out of buying a used car. In Ireland, you can get a free car report with minimal information or buy one for as little as €15 that provides information, including the car's number of owners, if the car has undergone a color change and odometer accuracy.

Choose a one-, two-, three- or four-star report. The contents and prices of each report are listed on this page. The price starts at €15. A one-star report is free and the least comprehensive. A free one-star report helps you protect yourself from a stolen vehicle and ensures that the registration matches the vehicle. A four-star report is the most expensive and includes an inspection by one of Cartell's certified mechanics to determine if the vehicle is mechanically sound. You will need to set up an appointment with Cartell to have a mechanic inspect the car. A finance check to find out if there is outstanding finance on the vehicle is only performed on three- and four-star reports.
