Terms & Conditions

About this service

Should I Buy This Car? provides vehicle history reports based on official DVLA and DVSA (MOT) data. Our reports include MOT history analysis, mileage verification, and AI-generated insights to help you make informed decisions when buying a used car in the UK.

Information only - not advice

Our reports are for informational purposes only. They are not:

• A mechanical inspection or diagnostic
• A recommendation to buy or not buy a vehicle
• A guarantee of vehicle condition, history, or future reliability
• A substitute for a professional vehicle inspection
• A finance check (HPI) - we do not check for outstanding finance

The decision to purchase a vehicle is yours alone.

Data sources & accuracy

We source data from official DVLA and DVSA records. This data is provided "as is" and we cannot guarantee it is complete, accurate, or error-free. There may be reasonable delays between official records being updated and appearing in our reports.

AI-generated analysis and insights are based on patterns in the data and should be treated as guidance, not fact.

Cost estimates

Repair cost estimates in our reports are typical UK ranges based on common repairs. Actual costs vary by location, garage, parts, and vehicle condition. These figures are indicative only.

Your responsibility

We recommend you:

• Verify information independently where possible
• Arrange a professional inspection before purchase
• Check for outstanding finance separately (HPI/finance check)
• Review service history with the seller

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from:

• Decisions made based on our reports
• The purchase or non-purchase of any vehicle
• Inaccuracies or omissions in official DVLA/DVSA data
• Service interruptions or errors

Our maximum liability is limited to the cost of the report purchased. Nothing in these terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.

Refunds

Reports are digital products delivered instantly. Refunds are not typically offered once a report has been generated and accessed. If you believe there is a genuine error in your report, please contact us.

Prohibited use

You agree not to:

• Use automated tools, bots, or scrapers to access this service
• Resell, redistribute, or commercially exploit our reports
• Attempt to circumvent any security or rate-limiting measures
• Use the service for any unlawful purpose
