What you get without paying a penny
We give the basics away because the basics shouldn't cost money. The paid report is for the things that can quietly cost you thousands.
Year, colour, engine size, fuel type, CO₂, BHP — pulled live from DVLA.
Current validity, expiry dates, and the full DVSA test history with advisories.
Every recorded MOT odometer reading, plotted against the UK average.
Start with the vehicle directory when you do not have the reg
Research popular UK makes, drill into model and year pages, and then jump into live registration checks when you find the car you want.
Popular makes in the directory
Browse make hubs with direct links into models, years, common problems and active registrations.
Use the directory to move from broad research to a specific reg check.
Directory pages give you make and model context even when you have not found a specific vehicle yet. Once you narrow it down, run a free registration lookup for the exact car.
Compare popular makes and discover model-specific reliability content.
Step into year pages to find indexed registrations and ownership patterns.
Jump back into a full vehicle lookup when you have a candidate registration.
