Bought a five-year-old A4 from a private seller. The MOT report flagged a recurring brake advisory the seller had ignored — got £200 off.

They avoided a bad deal
Real customers, real cars, real money saved.
Pulled the DVLA + MOT history before buying a 2019 Focus. Two failed MOTs the dealer didn't mention — walked away, saved myself the headache.
Cheaper and faster than HPI. Free decode showed everything I needed for a quick sanity check, and the full report was £6.50 — fair price.
