What Stolen marker means for you
A stolen marker means the car has been reported stolen and is still recorded as stolen, so it can be taken back from you even after you've paid. Make sure the 17-character VIN matches on the windscreen, door pillar and V5C, then run a Finance & Stolen Check (£4.99) to look for a marker.
If a marker shows, walk away and don't pay. Don't drive the car or try to resell it, and report it to the police. If you already own a flagged car, contact the police and stop using it.
