Type a number plate for the full MOT & mileage story, clocking flags, tax status and what it's really worth — or photograph a car you can't get the plate from and let the AI name it. Free to start, right in your browser.
Paid check sites charge £10–£38 to tell you about a car's past. The essentials — full MOT history, recorded mileage at every test, and the classic clocking red flag — are free here.
We scan every recorded mileage in the MOT history. If the odometer ever went backwards, you get a red flag with the exact dates and figures. Elsewhere this sits behind a paywall.
Every pass, fail and advisory since the car's first test, straight from DVSA records — plus how the mileage climbed year by year.
Cat S/N loss markers, damage type and a plain verdict — data provided by Experian. £2.99 one-off, or included with Premium. Reports are yours to keep, forever.
The pre-purchase deep dive: outstanding finance, stolen-vehicle marker and write-off history — data provided by Experian — plus valuation, MOT story and clocking flags in one keepable report. See a sample report →
Taxed or SORN, MOT valid or expired — colour-coded the moment you enter the plate. The "can I even drive it home?" questions, answered instantly.
Dealer-grade valuation — trade, part-exchange, private sale and forecourt figures at the car's real MOT-recorded mileage. Plus a live price band from actual eBay listings, so you see the book value and the street price side by side.
Factory front and rear sizes with load and speed ratings, run-flat flags and the correct pressures — then live per-tyre prices. No squinting at a sidewall in the dark.
Standing next to a used car? Point your camera at the details and let the app do the judging.
Photograph the sidewall and tread — the app reads the size, estimates wear, flags safety issues and prices replacements.
Snap a dent or scratch and get severity, repair options and realistic UK cost bands — haggling ammunition.
Identify a mystery part from a photo, or browse a priced catalogue of common parts for your exact car.
Save cars to your Garage, complete daily spotting challenges, earn badges and climb the leaderboard. Share Top-Trumps-style spec cards to any chat.
Typed a plate? Add your own photos of the car straight to its Garage record — for the sale advert, the spec card and to remember it by. No AI scan is spent unless you ask for one.
Every verifiable selling point from the MOT record, a suggested asking price and a paste-ready advert you can edit, rewrite in a dealer or enthusiast voice with AI, and share with your photos in one tap.
Follows your phone's setting, or tap the sun/moon in the header. Every screen, both ways.
Before a photo leaves the app, a blur editor boxes the number plate for you — stretch it, add more areas for faces or house numbers, and hide the plate text from the card. Nothing is shared until you say so.
Photograph the car from any angle — a built-in crop step lets you frame it tight for the best match — or just type the number plate.
Make, model, generation and trim, with honest confidence and alternatives when it's close.
DVSA MOT history, mileage timeline, clocking flags and a live market price band.
Check the tyres, price the dents, add your photos, save it to your Garage — and share the lot to WhatsApp.
MOT and mileage history come from the DVSA MOT history service — the same source as gov.uk — with our own analysis on top: mileage timelines, clocking detection and plain-English summaries. Tax status and insurance write-off markers come from official and Experian feeds, and valuations from UK Vehicle Data. Every paid check names its source in the report.
Number-plate checks are unlimited — MOT and mileage history, clocking detection and tax status are yours as often as you like. The limits apply only to AI photo identification, which costs us real money per scan: 15 a month as a guest, 30 with a free account, 300 on Premium. Nobody scanning a car they're thinking of buying gets near those numbers — they exist to stop automated abuse. The app shows exactly how many you have left, and when they reset, right under the camera. Creating the free account takes seconds: sign in with Google, or a one-time code emailed to you — no password to invent.
The dealer valuation is book data: what trade, part-exchange, private-sale and forecourt figures should be for that exact car at its recorded mileage. The price band is what sellers are asking on eBay right now for that model. Book value tells you what it's worth; asking prices tell you what the market is doing. Buying? Aim between them.
No — it runs in your phone or desktop browser. Add it to your home screen for the app experience; store versions are on the way.
It tells you honestly. Confident matches confirm instantly; close calls show ranked alternatives and ask for one more photo angle rather than guessing. A visible plate cross-checks identification against official records. Every photo goes through a quick review step first so you can crop tight to the car — the single biggest accuracy boost — and if a shot was labelled wrong you can relabel it from the photo strip.
Identification, MOT and mileage history, clocking detection, tax status and market price bands are free — no subscription, no card. Premium is £4.99 a month or £39.99 a year and adds every MOT advisory in full, included write-off checks, dealer valuations, tyre lookups and repair cost breakdowns. A single Experian write-off check is £2.99 one-off with no subscription, and the full history check — outstanding finance, stolen marker, write-off history, valuation and the complete MOT story in one report — is £7.99 (£5.99 for Premium members). Every report stays in your account permanently.
