About CarSpect

Buying a used car means trusting a stranger's account of its past. CarSpect replaces that with the official record - every MOT test, every mileage reading, the current tax status and any outstanding safety recall.

What we care about

Protection

Clocked mileage, hidden failure histories and outstanding recalls are the things that cost buyers money. We surface them first.

Transparency

Every figure we show comes from an official record, with the date it was taken and the test it came from.

Speed

One registration, one page. No account, no wizard, no upsell before you see the result.

Accuracy

Data comes from DVSA MOT records and DVLA vehicle enquiry, not resold third-hand databases.

Where the data comes from

MOT tests, results and odometer readings come from the DVSA MOT History API. Tax status, SORN and vehicle specifics come from the DVLA Vehicle Enquiry Service. We don't edit the records - where a reading looks inconsistent, we flag it rather than quietly correcting it. Always check the V5C logbook and the vehicle itself before you buy.
