Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our vehicle checks
Is this car check really free?
Yes. Our free check uses official DVLA and DVSA government data at zero cost. There are no hidden charges or signup required.
How does clocking detection work?
We analyse mileage readings recorded at every MOT test. If the mileage drops between tests or shows improbable jumps, we flag it as a potential clocking risk.
What data sources do you use?
We use the DVLA Vehicle Enquiry Service for vehicle identity and tax data, and the DVSA MOT History API for test results and mileage readings. Both are official UK government data sources.
What's the difference between the free check and the full report?
The free check gives you MOT history, mileage analysis, clocking detection, condition score, and ULEZ compliance. The £4.99 full report adds an AI-powered buyer's verdict, estimated repair costs, negotiation points, and questions to ask the seller.
How accurate is the condition score?
The condition score is based on the vehicle's complete MOT history, including defect severity, failure rate, mileage, and advisory trends. It provides a good indication but should be used alongside a physical inspection.
Do you check for outstanding finance or stolen vehicles?
Yes! Our Premium check (£9.99) includes finance outstanding, stolen vehicle, insurance write-off, salvage history, plate changes, keeper history, and a market valuation — all powered by Experian data.
