This will give you a really detailed check on the car's history. It costs about 40pounds I think, but it is worth it.
ask the police they know
HPI check is the only way. It will cost you a few quid, but it will save you from having the car taken away if its nicked, or having it towed away if the person selling it to you hasn't been honest about the car's past.
