Warning signs of a stolen or cloned car
A stolen check finds cars on the police records. A cloned car wears another car's plates, so also check the make, model and colour against the reg check.
- The price is well below every similar car.
- The seller wants to meet somewhere that isn't their home, or won't give an address.
- The V5C logbook is missing, new, or the seller's name and address don't match their ID.
- The VIN on the windscreen, the door pillar and the V5C don't all match.
- Cash only, today only.
