Worth understanding before you commit.

Some early history isn't visible to us

Digital MOT records began in May 2005. This vehicle had MOTs on paper before then which we can't see. Our score reflects only the digital era; the earlier years are unknown. If history matters to you, ask the seller for any paperwork they've kept.

A well-kept car tells on itself.

What's behind the score.

01
Built on official government MOT and DVLA data.
02
We read every MOT on record: the passes, the fails, the advisories. A clean, consistently-tested history scores higher than a patchy one.
03
MOT-based assessment only — not a mechanical inspection, a finance check, or a guarantee of condition. We don't value the car and we always recommend an inspection.

Free, and here's why

The data underneath is free, the public MOT and vehicle records the government releases for anyone to use. We don't pay for it, so we don't charge you. We never paywall the verdict, and we've no paid report of our own to sell.
