Verified purchase

"The automatic mileage discrepancy detection caught a potential rollback. Very thorough. Wouldn't buy a car without checking first now."

Karen

Liverpool

Verified purchase

"Simple process from start to finish. No account needed, just pay and get your report. The finance section showed everything was clear."

Ahmed

Leeds

Verified purchase

"Instead of checking multiple sites, everything I needed was in one report. Much more convenient and actually cheaper than piecing it together myself."

Mark

Newcastle

Verified purchase

"Found out the car had been written off - Cat-S. Dodged a bullet there! The whole process was so simple from start to finish."

Aisha

London

Verified purchase

"Used the report findings to negotiate a better price. Seller couldn't argue with the facts. The write-off history showed it was Cat-N which put me off."

Jennifer

Edinburgh

Verified purchase

"The mileage rollback detection caught an issue. Car had done way more miles than shown. Walked away from that one. Really easy to understand the report."
