Why check before you quote?
Insurers price on the exact model, engine and year. Getting any of them wrong can mean a quote that changes later — or cover that doesn't hold up at claim time. Checking first means the details on your quote match the DVLA record.
Checking a car you're buying?
Make sure the plate matches the car in front of you: the same make, model, colour and engine size. If anything doesn't line up, ask the seller why before you hand over any money.
