# BeakCheck

> Free UK vehicle check from a registration number: DVLA tax and MOT status, the full DVSA MOT history with mileage and advisories, and what an ECU remap would give that exact engine. Paid history reports (outstanding finance, stolen, write-off, mileage, valuation) from a few pounds. Operated by Bloor Engineering Ltd, Derbyshire, UK. Remaps are carried out by ORCA Remapping, part of the same company.

What BeakCheck answers:
- Is this car taxed, does it have a valid MOT, when is it due: https://beakcheck.com/?reg=REG
- Full MOT history for any UK car since 2005, with the mileage at each test and every advisory
- Has this car been clocked (mileage decreasing between MOT tests)
- What power and torque does a Stage 1 or Stage 2 remap give a specific engine, what hardware it needs, and how risky it is, for 2,155 UK engines
- A remote remap for a specific car: the owner reads the ECU with a supported tool (AutoTuner, KESS3, Alientech KTM, MPPS V21), ORCA Remapping tunes the file in one to three days, the owner flashes it back. Stage 1 £199, Stage 2 £299, diagnostic file analysis £49, UK-wide, paid at https://orcahq.co.uk/book
