Please read this before you buy

MotorLens is a second opinion, not a certificate.

Our reports are generated by AI and are designed to help you spot risks, ask better questions, and negotiate with confidence. They do not replace the things a car actually needs before you hand over money.

Not an HPI check

We can't see the DVLA record. Always run a paid HPI/finance check for the registration before buying.

Not a mechanic

We can flag common faults for the model — we can't hear the engine, drive it, or put it on a ramp. Book an independent inspection for anything over a few thousand pounds.

Prices are estimates

Market ranges, running costs, insurance groups and MPG are informed estimates. Get real quotes from your insurer and check current tax bands on gov.uk before you commit.

The MotorLens ground rules

  • Always view the car in person, in daylight.
  • Never pay a deposit for a car you haven't seen.
  • Match the V5C registered keeper details to the seller in person.
  • Run a paid HPI/finance check before agreeing a price.
  • For anything above ~£5,000, book an independent pre-purchase inspection.
