Why we do it
Free, because the data already is
Checking a car you're about to spend thousands on shouldn't cost anything when the records are already public. So here it doesn't.
Free means free
No premium tier, no upsell, no “unlock the full report” button. The check you run is the whole product; there is no paid report behind it.
Built on open data
Everything the UK government knows about a car is already public. We bring the live DVLA and DVSA records together in one place, free.
Here to inform, not to sell
Simon, the UK developer behind the site, has been burnt buying a car unchecked. This exists so your next purchase is a properly informed one.
Know what you're buying
Plain-English guides to MOT records, write-off categories, mileage fraud and everything else that matters when buying a used car.
