What one report covers
Every claim in the report names its source and the date we checked it, so you can verify it yourself.
The car
The official records
Markers recorded against the car in the official registers, like outstanding finance, theft records and write-off history. Every marker dated and sourced, and every absence stated as what was not recorded in the registers we checked, never more.

The advert
The listing itself
The advert claims, set against the record. Mileage against the MOT history, and provenance topics routed to the records section rather than taken on trust.

The seller
For dealers
For dealers, the company behind the advert and its record at Companies House. Private individuals are never researched; we check cars and businesses, not people.

Every report ends one of three ways
The verdict comes from fixed rules applied to the records. The same facts always give the same verdict.
- Green
Nothing found in our checks
Our checks did not raise anything to flag. The report lists every register we checked, and when.
- Amber
Something to check
Something a check exists to flag, not a stop sign. The report sets out what we found and where, so you can weigh it up with the facts.
- Red
Serious concerns found
The outcome a check exists to surface. The report sets out exactly what we found and where, so you can decide with the facts.

Questions
What does a report cost?
£14.99 for one report on one car. We look up the car for free. You only pay if you buy the report.
What does the report cover?
Three areas: the car’s official records, the advert set against those records and, for dealers, the company behind the advert. It ends in one of three verdicts.
Who decides the verdict?
The verdict is decided by fixed rules, never by AI. The same facts always give the same verdict.
Does it work for private sellers?
Yes. For a private sale the report covers the car and the advert. The seller section is for dealers only. Private individuals are never researched; we check cars and businesses, not people.
What if my report cannot be completed?
If a data source is down and we cannot complete your report, you are told plainly and not charged. If just one of the record checks cannot be made, your report still goes ahead, says which check it was, and its verdict is never better than Something to check.
How do I receive the report?
It usually takes a few minutes. We email you a secure link, and nothing else.
