Why You Need A Cartell Car History Check

A Hidden History?

Latest research shows that around a third of vehicles being sold have some kind of hidden history issue that may not be disclosed during the sales process. It’s always wise to arm yourself with as much knowledge as possible in advance of purchase.

Write-Off Alerts

Cartell established the Motor Insurance Anti-Fraud & Theft Register (MIAFTR) to help identify written-off vehicles in the absence of any legislation in Ireland. Any written off vehicles recorded on MIAFTR will be brought to your attention in your Cartell Check.

Mileage Alerts

Cartell developed The National Mileage Register (NMR) in tandem with the Cartell Check to increase regularity of mileage tracking, in a bid to eradicate clocking. Mileage Discrepancies recorded on the NMR will be brought to your attention in your Cartell Check.

Finance Alerts

The Cartell Three Star Car Check will inform you on any outstanding finance recorded on the vehicle.
