AutoSherpa answers the questions a mechanic friend would. Start with a free MOT check from the reg, then get a buyer's brief written for this car, how you'll use it and the asking price.
We pull the car's full MOT record from the DVSA: every test, failure, advisory and mileage reading.
A mileage chart and plain-English flags: mileage that goes backwards, long gaps off the road, advisories that keep coming back.
First car or project? What matters most to you? Thirty seconds that change the whole brief.
A verdict, what the MOT history really says, the faults this engine is known for, a checklist for the viewing and what to offer. Then ask follow-up questions.

AutoSherpa reports are generated by AI from official MOT records and general knowledge of the model. They can be wrong or incomplete. A report is guidance to help you decide. It does not guarantee the car's condition or value, the price you'll pay, or that a sale goes ahead. Always view the car, check its documents, and get a professional inspection and a vehicle history check before you buy.
