Used car report for UK buyers
A useful used-car report should do more than repeat public facts. It should help you understand risk, decide what evidence to request and avoid viewing cars that do not deserve your time.

Duewise provides buyer guidance, not a replacement for inspecting the vehicle, verifying documents or using a professional inspection where needed.
Guide
What to check
Learn how a Duewise used-car report helps UK buyers interpret MOT history, mileage, advert claims, model weak points and seller evidence before viewing.
What the report is for
Duewise is designed for the moment between finding an advert and travelling to view the car. The report helps buyers understand whether the vehicle deserves attention and what needs checking first.
- MOT pattern and mileage context.
- Common problems by model where available.
- Seller evidence and missing proof.
- Viewing questions and negotiation signals.
Why model context matters
Two cars with similar age and mileage can have very different risk because engines, gearboxes, timing systems, emissions equipment and maintenance expectations vary by model.
The report does not replace due diligence
A Duewise report is buyer guidance. It does not replace a mechanic, professional inspection, finance check, stolen or write-off check, insurance quote or legal checks.
How to use it
Use the report before you view the car. If evidence is missing, request it before travelling. If the report highlights repeated MOT issues or known weak points, inspect those areas carefully or negotiate the price accordingly.
