Prices

The more you check, the less each check costs.

Choose how many checks a month you commit to. Trade prices, shown without VAT.

Is Vettly Trade right for us?

Two questions. If buying checks on vettly.co.uk would cost you less, we will say so.

Do you buy and sell vehicles?

Yes, we buy and sellNo, we repair or service

Roughly how many vehicles do you check a month?

A guess is fine: part-exes, stock you buy in and auction lots.

How your monthly bill works

Your tier comes from the checks you commit to, not the checks you use. Every check that month, including any past your commitment, is at your tier's price.

You commit to	You use	You pay
100 a month	120	£450£3.75 each
30 a month	120	£540£4.50 each
100 a month	60	£375the minimum

Prices + VAT. Busier than you planned? Move up a tier at any time and the lower price applies from your next bill.

Questions

What dealers ask us

Anything else? Call 0330 912 0783, email hello@vettly.co.uk or send us an enquiry.

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: a 12-month Minimum Term. You commit to a number of checks a month, at least 30, and pay them at your tier's price: £4.50 a check from 30, £3.75 a check from 100, £3.25 a check from 250, £2.95 a check from 500. Paying yearly takes 5% off. After the Minimum Term it runs month to month, and you can end it with 1 month's notice. You sign it online before real checks start. The trial comes first and is free.

Can we change how many checks we commit to?

You can move up a tier at any time, and the lower price applies from your next bill. Moving down is possible once your 12-month Minimum Term is over.

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. Add everyone who checks vehicles: logins are included.

How does the free trial work?

Fill in the form and your account is ready straight away: we email you a sign-in link, and the trial runs for 24 hours. Every screen works as it will when you are live, but every registration shows a made-up vehicle, so no real data is used and nothing is charged. When you are ready, tell us and we switch you to real checks.

What happens when we have used all our checks?

Checks past your commitment are charged at your tier's price (5% less on the yearly plan), added to your next invoice. A registration your team checked in the last 30 days opens again free, so going back to a vehicle 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.

Which vehicles does it check?

Any vehicle registered in the UK: cars, vans, motorbikes and motorhomes. The history check, MOT, mileage, and trade and retail values work for all of them, and the data guarantee covers them too.

Try it on your own phone today

The trial takes about two minutes to start and every check in it shows a sample vehicle, so nothing is charged. You sign the agreement online before real checks start.
