a mystery.
MotorSnoop checks the car, the advert and the seller before you hand over a penny. One plain-English report, one clear verdict, £14.99.
Example listing
Three checks. Most services do one.
01The carThe official records
Markers recorded against the car in the official registers, like outstanding finance, theft records and write-off history. Every marker dated and sourced, every absence stated honestly: we tell you what was not recorded in the registers we checked, never more.
02The advertThe listing itself
The advert's claims, tested against the record. Mileage against the MOT history, the story against the paperwork, and the things the advert quietly leaves out.
03The sellerWho you're buying from
For dealers, the company behind the advert: its record at Companies House and its public pattern. Private individuals are never researched; we check cars and businesses, not people.
Every report ends one of three ways
No scores out of a hundred, no jargon. Fixed rules decide the verdict from what the records show, and the report explains every line that led there.
Green
Nothing found in our checks
No warning markers were recorded in the registers we checked, and the report says exactly which registers, and when we looked.
Amber
Check this before you buy
Something needs an answer first. The report tells you what we found, what it means, and exactly what to ask the seller.
Red
Walk away
Some reports will tell you not to buy the car. That is the point of paying for one.
Built to be checked
A report you can't verify is just another opinion. Ours shows its working.
Sourced and dated
Every claim in the report names its source and the date we checked it, so you can verify it yourself before you buy.
AI in its place
We use AI to write parts of the report in plain English. It never sees the register results and never decides the verdict. Fixed rules do.
Fail honestly
If a data source is down and your report can't be completed, you're told plainly and refunded automatically, without asking.
Asked early, answered straight
What does a report cost?
£14.99 for one full report on one specific car: its records, its advert and its seller, ending in one clear verdict. If a source is unavailable and we can't complete your report, you're refunded automatically.
How is this different from other car checks?
Most checks look at the car alone. We also read the advert and look at the seller, because the listing and the person selling are where buyers actually get caught out.
Does it work for private sellers?
Yes. The car and advert checks run on every listing. The seller research section runs for dealers only; we never research private individuals.
