The biggest mistake isn't buying a bad car.

It's buying one without knowing the risks. A listing can look perfect in photos and still be hiding a repair bill, a confusing history, or a seller who isn't telling you everything. Once you're excited about a car, it's easy to miss the signs — that's exactly the moment you need someone outside the excitement looking at it with you.

Is this seller actually legit?
Will it break down next week?
Am I overpaying for this?
Will insurance even accept it?
What should I even ask them?
How it works

Three steps, before you view the car

No account, no app to download — just the listing and a few minutes.

01

Send us the listing

Paste the Facebook Marketplace or AutoTrader link, or the registration number if you have it.

02

We build your plan

The vehicle's history, the listing, and the seller's profile get translated into plain English — no jargon, no guesswork.

03

You get it before you view

Delivered to your inbox within 2 hours, so you walk in already knowing what to check and what to ask.

What's in your battle plan

Four things, all in plain English

Risk summary

What the vehicle's history actually means — translated from advisory jargon into "here's what to worry about, and how much."

Seller questions

The exact questions worth asking before you meet — so you sound like you know exactly what you're doing, because you will.

Negotiation points

Real evidence to bring to the table — a fair reduction range based on what the history shows, not a guess pulled from nowhere.

Purchase safety checklist

What to check before any money moves — ownership, paperwork, and how to pay without leaving yourself exposed.

The difference

Same car. Very different position.

Without a second opinion
  • Guessing what the warning signs mean
  • Trusting the seller's word by default
  • Missing the things that don't jump out at you
  • Negotiating on nerves, not evidence
With Motorvisor
  • Clear questions ready before you arrive
  • A second, outside opinion on the risks
  • Real confidence walking in
  • A stronger negotiating position, backed by evidence
Built to be honest with you

What we are — and aren't

Transparent, not absolute

We tell you what a warning sign could mean and how to investigate it further — never that we can guarantee an outcome.

Plain English, always

No jargon dumped on you and left to interpret. If it needs explaining, we explain it.

Human-reviewed

Every plan is checked before it reaches you — not fired off untouched.

No unrealistic promises

We're not a mechanical inspection and we don't replace one. We're a second opinion — so you walk in prepared, not just hopeful.

Built to help everyday buyers make smarter decisions — not to sell you certainty nobody can actually offer.
Questions

Before you ask, we probably already have

No. We help you identify potential risks and the right questions to investigate — we don't put the car on a ramp. If a plan flags something serious, we'll tell you it's worth a proper inspection first.
No — no tool or service can honestly guarantee that, and we won't pretend otherwise. What we give you is a clearer, more informed starting point than guessing alone.
Anyone buying a used car, van, or bike who wants more confidence before they commit — especially first-time buyers, people buying privately, and parents helping a child buy their first car.
Typically within 2 hours of sending the listing — fast enough to still have it before you go and view the car.
