Questions
Does it include finance, write-off or stolen checks?
No. Reports are built on DVLA and DVSA records: MOT history, mileage, tax and recalls. Use a provenance check for finance and write-offs.
Does my buyer need an account to read it?
No. Send them the link or the PDF. The report opens on any phone or computer.
What if we run out of reports?
The account owner is told at 80% and can add 100 more for £9.99 a month from the account. A report that fails to build does not count.
How do I cancel?
From Billing in your account, any time. Within 7 days of your first payment you get £19.99 back, less £4.99 for each report you have run.
