Important Information
CheckABike Information
Self Or Third Party Insured Vehicles
Although CheckABike is as comprehensive as is currently possible, it may not reveal that the bike has been declared a write-off if the owner was self insured or third-party insured or if the vehicle was not covered by its insurance policy at the time of the incident (and the CheckABike Report Insurance will not cover this risk).
Cloned Or Ringed Vehicles
A "clone" or "ringer" is a bike which has been stolen and has been given a false registration number and VIN. If this has happened, the data supplied will be for a different, but identical, vehicle. A clone or ringer is not covered by CheckABike Report Insurance.
Imported Vehicles
A bike purchased in another country within the European Union, whether brought into the UK as a new or used bike, is not classified as an import by the DVLA or CheckABike. This is to reflect the European Single Market.
Warranty
If you believe the bike is covered by a manufacturer's warranty you may want to contact a franchised dealer or the manufacturer to check the validity of the warranty. A bike purchased outside the UK may have a shorter warranty period than an identical bike purchased from a UK dealer. Manufacturers' warranties are also conditional on regular servicing and other circumstances.
Non-UK Registered Vehicles And Events Occurring Outside The UK
Our data only relates to vehicles registered in the United Kingdom. CheckABike cannot reveal (and the CheckABike Report Insurance will not cover) events occurring at any time whilst the vehicle was not registered in the UK (the date of first registration is shown on the V5C document) and may not reveal events occurring outside the UK at any time.
Vehicle Specification
The specification details are those recorded by the DVLA and shown on the V5C registration document. If the V5C and our data do not match contact our Service Support team. Any discrepancies or omissions indicate that an amendment has been made at the DVLA since first registration. A missing make and/or model may indicate that the vehicle was not originally purchased from a UK franchised dealer. You can check this with your local franchised dealer or the Manufacturer's Customer Service Department. If the vehicle does not match the V5C contact the DVLA. Only the registered keeper can change any details with the DVLA.
