    So glad I found this app! Looking at a Porsche Panamera and found all the unmentioned in the ad issues with the car from previous MOTs. Saved me from buying a dud. Thank you!

    This app's a game-changer! It's spared me from sketchy car purchase with fake mileage. Get loads of free info, but for top-notch details that'll save you a bundle, the paid version is well worth it.

FAQ

Questions and answers

navis.apps.llc@gmail.com
Is the car check free?

Yes. Download the app, enter a reg plate or VIN and you get a free report with vehicle details, MOT history and tax status. A Premium subscription unlocks the additional checks in the full report.

Where does the data come from?

From official UK sources and trusted data providers, including the DVLA, DVSA MOT records, the Police, the Motor Insurance Database and the Individual Insolvency Register. A report shows the data those sources hold at the moment of the check.

Which vehicles can I check?

Cars, vans and motorbikes registered in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Vehicles registered in Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Man or outside the UK are not covered.

Do I need the reg plate or the VIN?

Most checks run on the registration number alone. A few, such as the Interpol check by VIN, need the 17-character VIN. You can find it on the V5C logbook, at the bottom of the windscreen or on the driver's door pillar.

I paid for a subscription, but I can't access Premium features

Subscriptions bought inside the app are tied to the Apple ID (iOS) or Google account (Android) you used to buy them. Make sure you're signed in with that same account. If you switch to a different account, you won't have access to subscriptions bought with the previous one.

How can I cancel my subscription?

On iPhone or iPad:

  1. Open the Settings app and tap your name.
  2. Tap Subscriptions. If you don't see it, tap iTunes & App Store, then your Apple ID, View Apple ID, and scroll down to Subscriptions.
  3. Tap the subscription you want to manage.
  4. Tap Cancel Subscription. If you don't see this button, the subscription is already cancelled and won't renew.

On Android:

  1. Open the Google Play Store app and tap the profile icon at the top right.
  2. Tap Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions.
  3. Select the subscription and tap Cancel subscription.
  4. Follow the instructions.

Cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the free trial or the current subscription period.

How can I get a refund?

On iPhone or iPad: Apple handles all App Store payments, so the refund decision is made by Apple. To request one:

  1. Go to reportaproblem.apple.com and sign in with your Apple ID.
  2. Choose “I'd like to”, then “Request a refund”.
  3. Choose the reason, then Next.
  4. Choose our app, then Submit.

Apple will email you with a decision.

On Android: we need the order number to issue a refund. You'll find it in the confirmation email you received when you subscribed. If you can't find the email:

  1. Visit pay.google.com and sign in with your Google account.
  2. Tap Subscriptions and services, then Manage, then View transactions.
  3. Select the order to see your receipt.

Send us the transaction ID (it looks like GPA.XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXX) and we'll issue the refund.
