Don’t guess.
Check it before you buy.

What buyers unlock

The checks that matter most once a car stops being an idea and starts becoming a deal.

Every tier is built for a different stage of the buying journey, from fast free screening to the paid checks that protect the purchase itself.

Free

Full MOT history

Use the MOT timeline to screen weak cars quickly and spot the patterns a tidy advert will never volunteer.

Free

Running costs

See whether a tempting price still looks sensible once fuel, tax and ownership costs are part of the picture.

Full report

Outstanding finance

One of the key reasons buyers step up to Full before paying a seller or leaving a deposit.

Full report

Stolen marker

Use it when the purchase feels serious enough that tidy paperwork is no longer good enough on its own.

Full report

Insurance write-off

Know whether the car’s history should change the price, the confidence level or the decision to keep moving.

Basic

Previous keepers

Useful when one or two cars survive the free shortlist and you want more context before the bigger paid checks.

Basic

AI verdict

Turns the report into a clearer next move so buyers can ask better questions and negotiate with more confidence.

Full report

Market valuation

Use price context when the deal is close and you need to know whether the asking price deserves a firmer counter-offer.

How buyers use MotorVerus

Start free, get serious later, pay for reassurance only when the car deserves it.

01

Screen the shortlist quickly

Use the free report to rule out weak cars before you spend time travelling, negotiating or getting attached.

02

Add context to the serious options

Move into Basic when you want more of the ownership story before the purchase feels close enough for the higher-risk checks.

03

Protect the purchase before you pay

Use Full when a deposit or bank transfer could genuinely happen and the car needs stronger finance, stolen and write-off reassurance.

Included in paid reports

A plain-English verdict for buyers who want a clearer next move.

It turns the report into plain-English buying guidance: what looks reassuring, what deserves a harder question, and which findings should slow the deal down before money moves.

“The car looks usable, but the finance marker is the issue that changes the decision. Treat that as the first question to settle before you think about the asking price.”
Is this still worth viewing if the price is only a little below market?
