AutoSpect

Buying a used car is the second-biggest purchase most of us make — and the one we make with the least information. AutoSpect puts a mechanic's process in your pocket, so you can check any UK car like a professional before you hand over a penny. START FREE — CHECK BEFORE YOU TRAVEL Enter any UK registration and instantly see the vehicle's story: full MOT history with failures and advisories, tax and MOT status, mileage records with clocking warnings, keeper history, and known faults for that exact make, model, and engine. Spot the problems before you waste a Saturday driving to see a bad car. THE GUIDED INSPECTION When you're standing at the car, AutoSpect walks you through a step-by-step inspection built for that specific vehicle — bodywork, tyres, fluids, electrics, test drive, and paperwork. Every check explains what to look for, why it matters, and what a problem costs to fix. • Tailored Watch Points: Checks customized to your car's known weak points like timing chains, DPFs, and common model faults. • Photo Evidence: Capture and save defects directly against each check for your final record. • Smart Seller Questions: Dynamic questions generated from this specific car's MOT history and past advisories. • Advisor Chat: Ask the built-in assistant questions like "Where is this located on my car?" or "How serious is this fault?" THE VERDICT: YOUR PURCHASE REPORT When the inspection's done, AutoSpect turns your findings into a clear purchase report — severity-weighted, age-aware, and honest. You'll see the key findings ranked, the estimated cost of issues you found, and a realistic figure to negotiate off the asking price — complete with ready-to-send negotiation messages in your choice of tone. Export the entire breakdown into a comprehensive, professional PDF report to keep for your records or share directly with the seller. THE HISTORY CHECK Upgrade to Premium and AutoSpect runs the checks the trade runs: outstanding finance, stolen markers, insurance write-off categories, and multi-source mileage verification — the hidden-history traps that turn a bargain into a liability. FAIR PRICING, NO SUBSCRIPTION The lookup is free. When you're serious about one car, a one-time Inspection Pass unlocks everything for that vehicle — pay per car, not per month. Walk away from the car, and you've lost the price of a coffee, not the price of a clutch. BUILT FOR THE UK Enhanced with enterprise-grade commercial vehicle registers alongside official DVLA and MOT data. Get accurate UK registrations, real-world repair costs in pounds, and model-specific fault analysis. Made by people who've stood on cold driveways wondering what that noise was. WHO IT'S FOR • First-time buyers who don't know where the coolant fluid lives (we'll show you). • Enthusiasts who want the data and the history check in one place. • Anyone about to spend thousands on a stranger's word. AutoSpect's guidance and analysis are AI-generated decision-support tools, not a professional mechanical inspection or certification. Vehicle data is provided from official and commercial sources and may occasionally be incomplete. Check it before you buy it.
