Questions

What dealers ask us

Anything else? Call 0330 912 0783 or email hello@vettly.co.uk.

Where does the data come from?
The history check (finance, write-offs, stolen, scrapped, keepers, plate changes, imports and exports) is provided by Experian. MOT, tax and vehicle details come from DVLA and DVSA records. We get both through our data suppliers.
What if a check is wrong?
Switch on Experian's £10,000 data guarantee for £1 + VAT a check. For checks bought with it, Experian pays out if the check missed outstanding finance, a Category A or B write-off or a stolen marker, as set out in Experian's terms. Without the guarantee, our trade terms limit our liability for the data.
Is there a contract?
Yes: 12 months, billed monthly at £150 + VAT. The trial comes first and is free. You go on the plan when you go live.
Can staff without an email address use it?
Yes. Give each person a username, and they choose their own password. Staff with a work email can sign in with a one-click link instead. There is no limit on staff logins.
How does the free trial work?
Fill in the form and your account is ready straight away: we email you a sign-in link. Every screen works as it will when you are live, but every registration shows a made-up bike, so no real data is used and nothing is charged. When you are ready, tell us and we switch you to real Experian checks.
What happens when we have used all our checks?
Extra checks are £3 + VAT each. A registration your team checked in the last 30 days opens again free, so going back to a bike never uses a second check. Unused checks do not carry over to the next month.
Is VAT on top?
Yes. Prices are shown without VAT. VAT is added at the standard rate and shown on each monthly invoice.
Does it cover motorbikes?
Yes, bikes come first. The history check, MOT, mileage, and trade and retail values all work for motorbikes, and the data guarantee covers them too. It checks cars as well.
