How it works

A clearer vehicle decision, one step at a time.

Start with a registration. See the basics quickly, choose the depth you need, and keep the useful bits close once the car is yours.

From registration to a useful next step

There is no maze of menus. Each step gives you enough context to decide what to do next.

  1. 01

    Enter the plate

    Use any UK registration, with or without spaces.

  2. 02

    See the preview

    Confirm the vehicle and get the essential record-based context.

  3. 03

    Choose your depth

    Pick the report level that matches the decision in front of you.

  4. 04

    Act with context

    Use the plain-English insight, then save the vehicle if it is yours.

The useful detail

Choose the detail that fits the decision.

Every report starts from the same vehicle. The level you choose determines how much deeper Auto Gecko investigates and explains.

MOT history

Tests, advisories and fail reasons in one timeline.

Mileage signals

Verified records that help spot inconsistencies.

Risk markers

Finance, write-off and theft checks on deeper reports.

Plain-English insight

Smart Gecko explains the patterns that deserve attention.

After the decision

A check can become a better way to own.

If you buy the vehicle, keep its record, documents and maintenance details together in your Auto Gecko garage. Subscriptions are there when you need more room and shared management.
