At NPS, when searching for outstanding finance, a series of comprehensive vehicle checks are undertaken to ensure there are no current agreements linked to the vehicle. The checks we perform typically compromise of the following:
Vehicle Finance Agreement Status: We verify if the vehicle has any outstanding hire purchase (HP), personal contract purchase (PCP), or existing leasing agreements.
If the vehicle is found to have outstanding finance agreements, the vehicle is still legally owned by the finance company, and any debt owed must be settled in full before the vehicle can sold legally.
Vehicle Identification: We perform a range of robust checks to cross-reference the vehicle’s details, including the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), registration number, and make/model, with popular finance databases to ensure the correct car is being checked.
Data from Finance Companies: We access data from the largest finance companies and lenders across the UK. This allows us to identify any existing financial commitments associated with the vehicle.
Our vehicle finance checks are crucial to protect you from inadvertently purchasing a vehicle that still belongs to a finance company and has outstanding finance, helping ensure a secure and transparent vehicle purchase.
