THINKING OF BUYING?

Before you hand over the cash, we help you:

• Spot the red flags. Failed MOTs, dangerous defects, things that keep coming back
• See how this one stacks up against others of the same make, model, and year
• Check for stolen, insurance write-offs, or outstanding finance (premium)
• Get a heads-up on what's likely to go wrong next, and roughly when

ALREADY OWN ONE?

Use PlateInsight to track your car's reliability, value, and long-term health. You can find out:

• How your car compares to others like it
• What tends to go wrong at your mileage
• Whether your miles are high, low, or about right for the age
• What it'd fetch if you sold tomorrow

Save it to your garage and keep tabs on it over time.

WHAT YOU GET PER CHECK (1 credit)

Health Score (0 to 100) Each car gets its own score based on its MOT record and how it compares to similar ones. High score, clean history. Low score, time to ask questions.

AI Verdict Not just numbers. A proper written-up opinion. Strengths, concerns, recommendation. Written fresh for the actual car you're looking at.

Critical Issues Forecast What tends to break next on this make and model at this mileage. Based on what's actually happened to millions of similar cars.

Market Valuation What it's worth, with a sensible range. Low, likely, and high. Useful when you're haggling. Or just curious.

Full Specifications Engine, BHP, torque, 0-60, top speed, MPG, transmission, towing, dimensions, CO2, Euro status. The lot.

Higgy An AI car expert you can chat to about any vehicle. Ask anything, or use Rate or Slate mode to get the strongest case for or against buying.

AI Photo Analysis Got photos from the ad? Upload them and get a quick read on condition. Handy when you can't view in person yet.

Shareable Reports Fire the report off to your dad, your mate who knows about cars, anyone. No login needed at their end.

Full MOT History Every test the car's ever had. Mileage, failures, advisories, dangerous defects, all laid out clearly.

Tax & SORN Current tax status and SORN, straight from the DVLA.
