1 in 3 used cars has hidden history

Outstanding finance owed by a previous owner. Written off and rebuilt. Clocked mileage. Stolen and re-plated. The seller won't tell you. The data will.

Instant Investigation

Uncover what the seller might be hiding.

Sellers sometimes hide the expensive truth in plain sight. We cross-reference the advert against live MOT data and known model faults to help expose missing service histories and masked mechanical issues before you travel to view it.

Low Risk Car Analysis
Car Advert Check Detailed Analysis

Real data. Expert analysis.

Every check pulls live MOT history from the DVSA, verified faults from our UK model fault database, and manufacturer service intervals. Our AI cross-references all of it against the seller's exact claims — helping surface the gaps a generic chatbot can't see and a basic HPI check won't catch.

Negotiation Leverage

Reduce the risk of overpaying for someone else's problem.

Don't negotiate blind. If a van has £650 of pending suspension repairs and an overdue cambelt, you need to know before you make an offer. We hand you the exact questions to ask to drop the asking price.

Provides specific, actionable questions to ask the seller.

Iterative Report Updates for Seller Responses
“Genuinely so thankful for this site!!! We've been looking for a VW Transporter for a while now and the free version of this site was actually super helpful in avoiding scams or duds. When we found one we liked, we took a punt and paid the tenner, definitely worth it. It not only found things we never would have thought about, but gave us a bargaining chip to knock a grand off the asking price. Ended up with a great van and a much better price than we would have without it. Highly recommend to anyone buying a used vehicle, especially if you're not an expert like us!”
— Harry, Exeter. Bought a VW Transporter Campervan in April 2026.
