Brego exclusive

See how your vehicle has been sold previously

Most car check sites only show what is visible today. Brego also shows how the vehicle has been advertised over time: earlier adverts, price reductions, relists, time on sale and mileage changes.

Current and older adverts in one timeline

Earlier asking prices and reductions

Mileage changes across adverts and MOT records

Relists, days on market and seller context

A vehicle’s advert timeline from its first listing to a completed sale

Advert timeline example

Mileage trail

Cross-check advert mileages against MOT history

Better negotiation starts here

Sellers control today’s advert. A listing timeline helps you see what happened before today and gives you better context before you call, travel or negotiate.

Spot price reductions before the seller mentions them.

Catch relists and long time on sale early.

Compare advertised mileage with MOT history.

What our users have spotted

Don’t get caught out. Here’s what people have found.

A few examples of the issues buyers caught before committing.

Caught £8,400 finance risk

Saved me from buying a car with outstanding finance. The listing history showed it had been relisted 4 times in 6 months too.

- James T., Manchester

Negotiated £1,200 off

The free check showed the valuation was way below asking price. Used it to negotiate £1,200 off without even paying for the full report.

- Sarah K., Bristol

Mileage fraud detected

Mileage on the advert was 63,000 but the MOT history showed 94,000 six months earlier. Definite clocking attempt.

- David R., Leeds

Frequently Asked Questions

The free check gives you vehicle details, current MOT and tax status, and a historical advert count when one is found. You can also add the advertised price, mileage and optional advert or dealer URL for a free scam sense-check. The underlying valuation, MOT and advert records stay private; the check returns only clear, warning or unavailable signals.

The full PDF report includes valuations, full MOT history, finance and stolen checks, write-off and salvage records, advert history with prices, market comparisons, AI advert condition review, mileage analysis, and full vehicle specifications. It is generated after payment and emailed within minutes. Finance, stolen and write-off data is provided by Experian.

Brego’s AI valuations are trained on millions of real transactions and live market data. They are updated regularly and used by insurers, dealers and finance companies across the UK and Europe.

Yes. Look up the registration or VIN, then add the advertised price, mileage and optional advert or dealer URL. We’ll check whether the asking price looks realistic, how long the supplied website has existed, and whether the mileage fits MOT and earlier advert records. Website age does not verify the seller, and this remains a sense-check rather than proof that an advert is genuine.

Yes. The full report includes an outstanding finance check, so you can see whether the seller may not have clear title to the vehicle. Finance data is provided by Experian.

We compare the advertised mileage with MOT readings and older adverts. If the numbers move backwards or don’t line up, we flag it.

A write-off check tells you if the vehicle has ever been declared a total loss by an insurance company. This includes Category A (scrap), B (break), S (structural), and N (non-structural) write-offs.

We provide retail and part-exchange ranges, each with low, average and high estimates. The full report also includes future value forecasts.

At a minimum, check MOT history, outstanding finance, stolen status, write-off history, and whether the mileage makes sense against MOT and advert history. Our full report brings all of that together in one PDF.

Our full report includes a finance check. If the vehicle has outstanding finance, the seller may not legally own it, and that can put both the car and your money at risk. Finance data is provided by Experian.

Insurance write-offs are classified by severity. Category A means scrap only, Category B means the body shell must be crushed, Category S indicates structural damage, and Category N means non-structural damage. Categories S and N can return to the road but may have reduced value.

Our free check shows the current MOT status and expiry date. The full report includes the complete MOT history with every test result, advisories, failures, and mileage readings over time.

Mileage fraud, or clocking, is when the odometer is wound back to make a vehicle look less used. We look for that by comparing the advertised mileage with MOT readings and earlier adverts. If the numbers do not add up, we flag it.

The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) identifies the vehicle and is stamped into the chassis. Modern VINs have 17 characters; older vehicles can have shorter chassis numbers. When buying a used car, the number should match the V5C logbook and the vehicle itself.

Brego is a UK vehicle data and AI company founded in 2019. We build valuations, vehicle intelligence and data products for the automotive industry, including insurers, dealers and finance companies across the UK and Europe.
