At Peter Hanley Motors a positive car buying experience for our customers is at the forefront of all our sales. Buying a car should be an enjoyable experience. There should be fun and excitement in searching the specs, choosing the model and planning your upgrade. It is not always the case and for some people the thought of seeking a new used car is fraught with worry and concern. This is not surprising as purchasing a car is the second largest investment for most people (the mortgage being the biggest). It’s an important outlay of hard earned cash. We know how important it is that you are confident, trustful and assured that the car you choose is right for you. We want it to be the best value for money with no hidden history. To this end, we provide the most informative and comprehensive car history checks on all of our second-hand motors. If you have ever wondered what that actually means and indeed, what sets one car history check apart from another, then read on and make your next used car upgrade purchase a pleasant and happy one.
Every buyer wants to be certain that the pre-loved car they choose is a secure investment. It is not just about the financial outlay. The need to know the full story on the auto is important because as you are entrusting your safety and that of your loved ones to the new car. You want the car to be dependable and in good working order. A good car history check provides the back ground and history and reveals much more than just the occurrence of accidents, write-offs, scrappages and repairs. A modern car history check is much more forensic and revealing than you ever imagined. We feel that they are so important, that we just do not sell a car without a full history check.
A Car history checks reveals an amazing amount of information on your used car. At Peter Hanley Motors, we choose www.motorcheck.ie as one of the most reputable, comprehensive and efficient car history check providers. The obvious important issues such as whether a car has been stolen, involved in an accident, written off or the subject of a hire purchase or outstanding loan are all provided. Along with this information, there is useful information included on the classification of the car, whether it was used as a taxi, a hackney, a company car or that clichéd ‘one careful owner, who just took it out for mass!’ The number of previous owners are listed along with the details of ownership transfers. A comparable valuations guide assists in any decision making for the purchase. The exact specs and data associated with the particular car are also given alongside the emissions and road tax bands. Most importantly, mileage readings are compared with those on the national mileage registrar, so that so called ‘clocking’ or tampering with the odometer/mileage is revealed quickly and easily. A history check is a full DNA of the car you wish to purchase. It’s a trusted and credible report that we make available to everyone who is thinking of purchasing our cars.
The UK keeps much more extensive data on cars than Ireland does. And while the Irish testing is improving month on month, with more information being provided on used cars, the UK have access to just a bit more history on cars than we do here. This is reflected in the car history tests on UK imported cars. This includes the D.O.E. (NCT) test and mileage readings and all the other information that makes up essential biography and back history of an imported used car.
There are a number of sites including cartel.ie and the aforementioned, motorcheck.ie that will provide a car history search which details a certain amount of information to the general public.

At Peter Hanley Motors, we subscribe at a premium rate to our preferred car history site in order to avail of more far-reaching searches and in-depth information. So, while you can go online and pay for a car history test, it is not necessary when we have a more comprehensive one available for every car in the lot.

It couldn’t be simpler. A detailed report is in the glove box of all our cars for sale on the lot.

It is kind of the point really and it happens every now and again. If every car passed through perfectly there would be little point in checking the history! But when a car history test reveals a previous crash, a loan still owed or the suspicion of anything nefarious, such as ‘clocking’ on a car that has been bought in or traded, we return that motor vehicle immediately. We ensure that problem cars are not passed on to our customers. This is the positive side of paying such a high subscription for good Car History reports. At Peter Hanley Motors, we stake our reputation of over 30 years in business serving Longford and the Midlands, on the revelations of a good history check and our own mechanical checks to give both us and the consumer continued peace of mind. We never pass on a car with a bad Car History Check.
We live in an age of digital information and the upside of this is that the information footprint is becoming more accessible and informative. Especially for cars! As reputable motor dealers, we welcome every innovation that allows us to know more about the preowned cars we are selling. We care about our customers. When we began selling all those years ago, we made a commitment and promise to maintain high standards of integrity and honesty. Now, with over 150 cars in stock and over 1,000 cars passing through the dealership each year, it is more important than ever to know the full history of each car that we sell. Access to good car history checks on every car in the lot helps us to keep that promise and those high standards. These good background checks gives both, the seller and the buyer, confidence and assurance and allows us enjoy the whole experience of purchasing that new car. There is no happier moment then when we are handing over the keys to another satisfied and smiling customer.
