Terms of Use

Reg Detective · Last updated: 11 November 2026

These terms apply when you use the Reg Detective app ("the app"). By using the app you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.

1. Who we are

The app is provided by Vergint Safi, a sole trader based in the United Kingdom ("we", "us"). Contact: vergint.safi@gmail.com.

2. What the app does

You enter a UK vehicle registration and the app shows information about that vehicle, including:

• MOT test history from the DVSA MOT History API (free);
• a vehicle history check with finance, write-off, stolen, plate change and keeper records supplied by Experian through One Auto API (paid).

The app also lets you save cars to a garage and set MOT reminders on your phone.

3. Information only – check before you buy

Reports come from official and third-party records that we do not control. They can be incomplete, out of date or contain errors, and some events (for example a private repair, or finance from a lender that does not report to Experian) may not appear. A report is a guide, not a guarantee.

Before you buy a vehicle you should always check the V5C logbook and the seller's identity, ask for the service history, and have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic. Do not rely on the app alone when deciding to buy.

4. Paid checks

• Prices are shown in the app before you pay. Payments are taken by Google Play or the Apple App Store, and their terms also apply.
• A paid check gives you the vehicle history report for the registration you entered. Re-opening the same registration within the period shown in the app does not use another check.
• Because the report is digital content supplied straight away, by starting a paid check you agree that it is supplied immediately and that you lose your 14-day right to cancel once the report has been produced. This does not affect your statutory rights if a report is faulty.
• If a paid check fails to produce a report, or the report is clearly wrong because of a fault on our side, contact us and we will re-run the check or arrange a refund. Refunds for store purchases may need to be requested through Google Play or the App Store.

5. Fair use

The app is for your personal use when buying, selling or owning a vehicle. You must not:

• resell, republish or share reports or their data commercially;
• use automated tools to scrape, bulk-query or copy data from the app or our servers;
• try to get around check limits, payments or security measures;
• use the app for any unlawful purpose, including tracing or harassing a vehicle's owner.

We may limit or block access if we reasonably believe these terms are being broken.

6. Our responsibility to you

We provide the app with reasonable care and skill. We are not responsible for losses caused by errors or gaps in third-party records, by decisions you make based on a report, or for losses that were not reasonably foreseeable. Our total liability to you for any paid check is limited to the amount you paid for it.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded under UK law, including your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

7. Availability and changes

We aim to keep the app available but cannot promise it will always work without interruption, for example when a data source is down. We may update the app and these terms. If we make important changes we will update the date at the top of this page.

8. Data sources

MOT data is supplied by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA). Vehicle history data is supplied by Experian via One Auto API. Reg Detective is not affiliated with or endorsed by the DVSA, DVLA or Experian.

9. Privacy

How we use data is explained in our Privacy Policy.

10. Law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland you can also bring claims in your local courts.
