Independent used-vehicle checks
Find the red flags before you buy.
Send us the advert and registration. We independently examine the MOT history, photos, seller claims and known model issues—then tell you what to ask, what to inspect and whether the vehicle is worth pursuing.
Plain English. Independent. No dealer commission.
Independent
No dealer commission, no referral fees, no sales pitch.
Evidence-led
MOT history, photographs and seller claims examined together.
Plain English
One concise report telling you what to ask and what to inspect.
A clean advert can still hide an expensive story.
Repeated corrosion advisories, suspicious MOT timing, vague maintenance claims, towing wear and carefully cropped photographs often tell you more than the advert does. MotorFlag joins the dots before you travel or place a deposit.
What the customer receives
One concise report. The useful bits only.
Advert and photo review
We look for missing evidence, inconsistent claims, visible wear and the details the seller may be avoiding.
MOT pattern analysis
Not just the latest pass. We examine recurring advisories, failure patterns, mileage consistency and repairs that keep returning.
Seller and dealer checks
For dealer sales, we confirm the legal entity, trading identity, Companies House status and relevant public business connections.
Independent review analysis
We compare review platforms, rating distribution, recurring themes and visible dealer responses—not just the biggest number on the page.
Known model risks
We identify the costly problems associated with that model, age, engine and usage—and tell you what proof to request.
Questions for the seller
You receive precise questions designed to produce evidence, not another reassuring sales speech.
Personal viewing checklist
A focused inspection list for that exact vehicle, so you know what to photograph, test and listen for.
Evidence-rated verdict
Proceed, Pause or Walk Away—with confidence, evidence gaps and the exact next step explained in plain English.

The mileage needs reconciling
