Our app uses data from the following trusted sources:

DVLA Vehicle Enquiry Service

For basic vehicle information, MOT and tax status. We pull complete MOT history including all advisories and failures, helping you spot recurring issues and understand the vehicle's maintenance history.

Manufacturer Service Schedules

For recommended service intervals and maintenance requirements. We track what should have been done and when, so you can identify overdue services that could lead to premature wear or invalidated warranties.

For common faults and known issues with specific vehicle models. Our AI analyzes thousands of owner forums, recall databases, and workshop reports to warn you about model-specific problems before you buy.
