HGV and Commercial Vehicle VIN Checks Before Recovery or Transport

Commercial vehicles need accurate identification

HGVs and commercial vehicles can carry VIN, manufacturer and weight information relevant to identifying the vehicle and planning transport. Weight and dimensions also affect what recovery equipment is suitable.

What Onagone checks before collection

Accurate registration, vehicle description, available VIN information, collection authority and the vehicle's physical condition all matter. A VIN can help identify a vehicle but does not by itself prove ownership or lawful authority to dispose of it.

If the identity does not make sense

Do not alter an identifier or guess missing information. Resolve unexplained differences with the seller, insurer, auction, DVLA, police or other relevant authority before collection where appropriate.
