Darren B.

Portsmouth · 2014 Hyundai Tucson

Flagged a suspension issue before I even went to see the car. Saved me a wasted trip to the other side of town.

Amy G.

Exeter · 2015 Suzuki Swift

I check every car through this now before even going to look at it. Takes 30 seconds and it's free. There's literally no reason not to.

Ben E.

Norwich · 2018 Vauxhall Astra

Works well and quick results. The only reason it's not 5 stars is I'd love a mobile app. But the website works fine on my phone to be fair.

Craig D.

Stoke-on-Trent · 2014 Ford Mondeo

Needed a cheap family car. Helped me compare three Mondeos and pick the one with the best MOT track record. Job done.

Cardiff · 2017 Kia Sportage

I've told everyone I know about this site. So simple, so useful. Honestly can't believe how much info you get for free.

Kirsty D.

Southampton · 2016 Peugeot 208

The 208 I was looking at had a terrible MOT history. The report made that crystal clear with the timeline view. Avoided a complete money pit.

Ryan T.

Belfast · 2014 Audi A4

Dealer was asking £12k for an A4. The report showed a load of advisories and estimated it was worth closer to £10k. Used the negotiation script and got it for £10,200.

Clare E.

Torquay · 2014 SEAT Ibiza

Checked the Ibiza, looked fine, bought it. Six months later still going strong. No surprises.

Chris A.

Glasgow · 2014 Skoda Octavia

Gave me all the info I needed to make a decision. The Octavia had a couple of minor advisories but nothing serious. Went ahead and bought it.

Laura H.

Aberdeen · 2016 Ford Kuga

Checked a Kuga I found on Facebook Marketplace. Report came back fine, met the seller feeling confident, and got the car for £500 under asking.

James T.

Manchester · 2016 Ford Focus

Saved me from buying a Focus with clocked mileage. The report spotted a mileage drop between MOTs that I completely missed. Would have cost me thousands.

Tony G.

Luton · 2014 Nissan Note

Simple no-frills service that does exactly what you need. Checked three Notes, bought the cleanest one. No drama.

Natasha V.

Reading · 2015 Fiat 500

Adorable car, dodgy history. The check found repeated brake issues and the mileage didn't add up. Found a better one the next day.

Paul F.

Wolverhampton · 2016 Toyota RAV4

Good info, well presented. The MOT analysis is really helpful. Would love to see running cost estimates in the future but otherwise great.

Phil R.

Plymouth · 2016 Mazda 3

Mate recommended this to me. The Mazda came back clean and I bought it. Six months on, zero problems. Exactly as the report predicted.

Samantha J.

Bournemouth · 2015 BMW 1 Series

The report is so detailed. I knew more about the car than the seller did. He actually seemed a bit nervous when I started asking about a specific advisory from 2021.

Amir Q.

Bradford · 2017 Mercedes A-Class

Gave me peace of mind before spending £15k on a car. Straightforward and easy to understand. Would recommend to anyone buying used.

Priya K.

Leicester · 2019 Hyundai i10

Quick and easy. Put the reg in, got the report, knew exactly what I was dealing with. No nasty surprises after buying.

Hannah Y.

Carlisle · 2017 Ford Fiesta ST

The Fiesta ST I wanted had been thrashed. Multiple advisories, mileage didn't quite add up. Saved me from what would have been an expensive mistake.

Olivia C.

Canterbury · 2017 VW Up

Tiny car, tiny price, no problems on the report. Perfect city runabout. Three months in and no issues at all.

Louise M.

Newcastle · 2016 Nissan Qashqai

The negotiation script alone was worth it. Showed the seller the report and he dropped the price by £600 without any argument. Never buying a car without checking first again.

Mark C.

Coventry · 2014 VW Polo

Checked about 8 Polos on Autotrader and narrowed it down to the two cleanest ones. Saved me loads of time compared to doing it manually.

Rachel F.

London · 2018 Audi A3

Was about to put down a deposit on an A3 from a dealer in Croydon. Ran the check first and it flagged three separate corrosion advisories. Walked away immediately.

Fiona P.

York · 2016 Citroen C4

Found a C4 that looked great in the photos. The check revealed it had failed three MOTs in a row before recently passing. Made me think twice and I'm glad I did.
