Check the car
before you view it.
Paste the plate and advert below — CarVouch scans MOT history, mileage trends, and advert red flags using AI in seconds.
Why check a used car before you view it?
Viewing a car costs you time and travel — finding out it has hidden problems costs even more. CarVouch flags the issues most buyers miss.
Mileage fraud is common
Odometer discrepancies appear in thousands of UK used car adverts each year. Our mileage consistency check compares advert claims against every recorded MOT reading.
Advert language hides problems
Phrases like "sold as seen", "logbook to follow" or "non-refundable deposit" are serious red flags. Our AI scans the advert text and highlights them instantly.
MOT history reveals the truth
Dangerous defects, repeat failures and suspiciously quick pass-after-fail patterns all show up in official DVSA data — data most buyers never check before they travel to view.
Free and takes 30 seconds
No registration required. Paste the plate, add the advert text, and get a risk score and red flags before you even pick up the phone to the seller.
