CabCheck. Spot the ex-taxi.
One in twelve used cars on the UK market is an ex-taxi or PCO vehicle. Most buyers never know. Dealer invoices specifically ask, and most buyers can't tell.
CabCheck is the UK's first specialist ex-taxi provenance report. £19. Built on the largest proprietary dataset of UK taxi history. Get notified at launch.
What you'll get
The four checks no other report does
Has this been licensed as a taxi or private hire?
Cross-referenced against our dataset of vehicles bought, plus public TfL plate records and the licensing authorities of all 27 UK Combined Authorities.
Mileage tampering signal
Full MOT history with month-by-month mileage progression. We flag jumps, drops, and gaps that don't match a normal usage pattern.
Ex-Uber and ex-Bolt classification
Where the vehicle has been licensed for ride-hailing, we note it. PCO drivers know, buyers usually don't.
ULEZ + Clean Air Zone compliance
Forward-looking compliance status across London ULEZ, Birmingham, Bristol, Sheffield, Bradford, Newcastle, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Tyneside and Edinburgh.
Why this matters
Buying an ex-taxi without knowing it can cost £3,000+ at resale.
Dealers, traders and private buyers all discount ex-taxis at trade auction. If you bought one without realising, you take the hit when you come to sell. Generic history checks don't catch this. CabCheck does.
We're the only company in the UK with a proprietary dataset of taxi vehicle history built from thousands of direct purchases. That's the data CabCheck queries.
Selling your taxi?
We're the buyer. CabCheck launches in 2026. In the meantime, if you're looking to exit your cab, start your enquiry, we'll come back with a firm offer within 2 hours.
