Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our service

Is this the same as an HPI check?

No. This is a complementary service that analyses photos, description, specs, MOT history, and market data. An HPI check covers hidden financial/legal issues we cannot access. We recommend doing BOTH.

How does the AI photo analysis work?

Our AI examines listing photos for paint condition, panel alignment, tyre wear, modifications, and general condition. It cross-references against factory specs for the exact make, model, and year.

Is this service really free?

Yes! The basic report is free. We’re supported by advertising and affiliate partnerships. We may introduce a premium tier with additional features in future.

Can I use this for motorcycles?

Yes! Our analysis works for motorcycles too. Just paste the listing URL. We cover all major makes including Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, BMW, Ducati, and Triumph.

How accurate are the valuations?

Valuations are based on market data, sold listings, and industry guides (CAP). They’re a good indicator but should be used as a guide — local conditions and exact spec affect final value.

Do I need to enter the registration plate?

Optional but highly recommended. Without it we can’t provide MOT history analysis. The reg is only used for the DVLA public MOT lookup — we don’t store it.

Which listing sites do you support?

AutoTrader, eBay Motors, Gumtree, Facebook Marketplace, PistonHeads, Cars.com, CarGurus, Cazoo, Cinch, and Motorway. We’re always adding more — try pasting any URL!

Can I save or share my report?

Yes! Use the Print button to save as PDF, or the Share button to send via your device’s native share. We recommend printing it to take when viewing the vehicle.
