Stop buying blind, start buying informed

While others only find out about a car's chronic faults after handing over the money, you can know them before you sign.

The problem

Faults found out too late

  • Trawling through scattered forums, groups and videos to piece together a car's history
  • Finding out about a well-known chronic fault only after you've paid
  • Relying on the seller's word with no independent information
  • Forking out for repairs that could have been seen coming

The solution

Every known fault in one search

  • Chronic faults organised by make, model, year and engine in a single search
  • A severity rating and the typical mileage at which each fault appears
  • Step-by-step fixes, voted on by real owners
  • AI-flagged likely faults when data is still thin, always clearly labelled

It's a catalogue of chronic faults, organised by make, model, year and engine. It pulls together in one place what tends to go wrong with each car, how serious it is, at roughly what mileage it crops up and how to sort it, information that's usually scattered across forums, groups and videos.
