A car can have AutoTrader's green "great price" badge and still have 4 consecutive MOT advisories, a known engine fault, and a community full of owners who regret buying it. We check all of that before it appears here.
🔍
MOT intelligence
Every car's full DVSA test history — not just pass/fail. We flag progressive advisories, structural fails, and patterns the seller won't mention.
📊
Real market pricing
Compared against actual comparable listings — same make, model, year, mileage — not a generic price band. We tell you the exact £ saving.
🏆
Model reliability
Community knowledge from r/CarTalkUK distilled into scores. We know which engine variants to trust, which years to avoid, and what to check at viewing.
💰
Haggle guide included
Every pick comes with a target price and the specific reasons to negotiate. We tell you what to say at the viewing, not just what to look for.
