Reassuring buyers with vehicle check

We've created our vehicle check product, powered by diverse data which can provide an instant history report on a vehicle to be sure there are no nasty surprises before purchasing.

Huge datasets combined into one product

We integrate data from a huge range of suppliers, such as the police, the DVLA and the BVLRA for historic mileage observations.

We run millions of checks to test the accuracy of this data. We are now so confident in it, we offer consumers a guarantee of up to £30,000 if it's found to be incorrect.
