Older cars, cheaper Cartell Checks

Since the start of 2012, Cartell have been running a promotion where we will discount your 2 star or 3 star check by €10 if the vehicle you are checking is 8 years or older. This means that a 2star history check which can tell you if the vehicle was written off, Scrapped, has a Mileage discrepancy, Ex-Taxi, Imported, Taxed/NCT’d, Ex-Company Car, for only €10! And if you wish to check the finance on that and upgrade to a 3 star Cartell Check, it will only cost a total of €25! Ireland’s most comprehensive database to check your vehicles history for the price of a pizza.
NMR (National Mileage Register) hits over 6.28 million records!
The Largest Mileage database in Ireland
The NMR or National Mileage Register is Ireland’s largest mileage database and now holds 6,283,652 as of the 21st March 2012. Cartell launched Ireland’s first Car History Check back in May 2006 and since then we set up the
NMR and have been collecting mileages since then. We did this to help prevent the public from potentially buying a ‘clocked’ vehicle. Although others have set up similar databases, you can be rest assured that all our mileages are collected from reliable sources. Errors can be made, especially in 2005 when Ireland changed from Miles to Kilometres, that’s why Cartell carry out a comprehensive mileage investigation when a discrepancy is found. More details on the NMR can be found on www.nmr.ie or www.cartell.ie

Answers to your most frequent questions!
VIN, VRC and NCT Numbers
Customers who wish to verify the VIN, VRC (Vehicle Registration Certificate) & NCT numbers against those listed by the Government for the vehicle are reminded that you don’t need these numbers when you first carry out your car history check. You can verify these subsequently using one of two methods: (1) by phoning Cartell on 1890 252331, or (2) by clicking on “Get a Cartell Check” on our homepage and then clicking “Complete my Cartell Check” and following the instructions.
Subsequent verification of VIN will NOT update original report
For more info, see our help section on Completing my Cartell Check here
Please note neither of these two options outlined above will update the original report purchased. But rather verify if the numbers entered are correct.
Finance Checks
Customers are reminded that finance checks will take a few minutes for the initial result to appear on the computer screen and in the meantime the word “pending” will appear 
to indicate the system is conducting a search of financial records for the vehicle you designated. As soon as the finance check is complete a PDF will be sent to your email inbox and a free SMS will be sent to your mobile phone. Please remember that Cartell may need to contact the bank to verify a result. You will be advised if this is the case in respect of the vehicle you are checking. Cartell can only contact the financial institutions during designated hours of opening. Please be advised that these hours can vary from one institution to another. (e.g. some institutions do not take phone calls after 15:30).
