Lisa T.

Milton Keynes · 2016 Dacia Duster

No complaints really. Did what it said on the tin. The Duster had a couple of advisories but nothing scary. Good to know before handing over the cash.

Charlotte B.

Bath · 2019 Kia Ceed

Super easy to use and the results are really clear. Even my mum understood the report and she knows nothing about cars. Sorry mum.

Simon W.

Ipswich · 2015 Vauxhall Mokka

My wife found a Mokka she loved. I wasn't keen but ran the check and it actually had a solid history. She was right. I'll never hear the end of it.

Tom B.

Sheffield · 2015 Honda Civic

Clean MOT history, low risk score, fair price. Everything confirmed what I was hoping. Bought it with confidence and no regrets.

Gary N.

Nottingham · 2012 Ford Fiesta

Bought a Fiesta for my daughter. The report spotted an exhaust issue from the MOT history and I used it to negotiate. Saved about £400.

Rebecca N.

Cambridge · 2018 Skoda Fabia

Clean bill of health. Bought it. Simple as that. Sometimes the best reviews are the boring ones where nothing went wrong.

Stephanie L.

Guildford · 2019 Mini Countryman

Showed the report to my friend who's a mechanic and he said everything flagged was spot on. That's good enough for me.

Steve H.

Edinburgh · 2015 Mercedes C-Class

Helpful report overall. Used it on five different cars before settling on one. Would be nice to see how each car compares to others in its class.

Helen W.

Bristol · 2017 Vauxhall Corsa

Checked three Corsas before finding a clean one. The first two had recurring suspension advisories I would never have noticed just looking at the car.

Rob S.

Peterborough · 2015 Volvo V40

I buy and sell cars as a side hustle. This speeds up my due diligence massively. Can check a car in 30 seconds instead of manually trawling through MOT history.

Dan K.

Liverpool · 2013 BMW 3 Series

Really useful for getting a quick overview. The MOT breakdown is brilliant. Only thing I'd add is maybe estimated repair costs for each advisory.

Kate R.

Cheltenham · 2018 Ford EcoSport

Free, fast, and actually useful. I've paid for car check services before that told me less than this.

Alex H.

Chester · 2017 Suzuki Vitara

Used this on about 12 different cars over two weeks. Eventually found a Vitara with a spotless record. Made the whole car shopping process way less stressful.

Harriet W.

Harrogate · 2016 Honda CR-V

The CR-V I was looking at had emissions advisories on the last three MOTs. Not something you'd spot unless you really knew what to look for.

Jenny O.

Swansea · 2013 Renault Clio

The Clio had some advisories I didn't understand and the report explained them clearly. Ended up buying it because they were minor. Good to know either way.

Sarah R.

Birmingham · 2015 VW Golf GTI

Used the negotiation script on a Golf GTI. The dealer knocked off £800 when I showed him the brake advisory history. Paid for itself ten times over.

Nicola F.

Inverness · 2018 Hyundai i30

Living up in the Highlands means I can't easily pop to loads of dealerships. Being able to check cars online before making the drive is invaluable.

Victoria P.

Worcester · 2018 Kia Picanto

Perfect for someone like me who knows absolutely nothing about cars. Everything is explained in plain English. No jargon, no confusion, just clear advice.

Jack D.

Wigan · 2015 Citroen C3

The C3 had a mixed history but everything was laid out clearly. Decided to pass on that one and found a cleaner one the next week.

Ian M.

Dundee · 2013 Honda Jazz

The Jazz came back as low risk with a solid MOT track record. Exactly what I wanted for daily driving. Bought it same day.

Mike P.

Leeds · 2014 Toyota Yaris

First time buying a car and had no idea what to look for. The report gave me confidence and I actually felt like I knew what questions to ask. Ended up with a reliable Yaris.

Kevin L.

Sunderland · 2017 Nissan Juke

Been ripped off buying cars before. Not this time. Had everything I needed to make an informed decision. The Juke was clean and I'm happy with it.

Megan A.

Lincoln · 2019 Renault Captur

The fact that it pulls real MOT data is what makes it different from everything else. You're not reading someone's opinion, you're reading actual government records explained properly.

David W.

Derby · 2017 Toyota Auris

Toyotas are meant to be bulletproof but this one had issues. Caught it before I wasted my money. Found another Auris with a perfect history instead.
