To check a car's category for free, such as whether it is a write-off category (Category A, B, S, or N), there are some important points:
- Free online tools generally do not provide detailed car category information related to write-off statuses for free.
- Free car checks generally offer information like MOT status, tax status, vehicle specifications, mileage verification, and basic history but not write-off category details.
- To get definitive car category information (like write-off categories), paid vehicle history checks are usually required through premium services.
- Some UK websites offer free car history checks that provide extensive data about the car but do not explicitly include category markings.
- It is also possible to ask the car seller directly for category information if they have it.
In summary, completely free online tools can give many details about a car’s basic information and history, but to confirm car category related to insurance write-offs, a paid check or asking the seller directly is typically necessary.
If the user wants, I can provide a selection of popular free UK car check websites to perform a free initial vehicle history check.
