Three levels of checked. One green badge that matters.

Dealer-level safety. Private-sale prices.

The seller gets more than a trade-in offer. You pay less than a forecourt. The checks make it safe for both of you.

STEP 1

Find your car

Search by the all-in monthly number — car + insurance at your age — not just the sticker price.

STEP 2

See the proof

MOT timeline, mileage graph, inspection report, verified seller. No “trust me bro”.

STEP 3

Pay protected

Your money sits with an FCA-regulated escrow service until you’ve got the keys and the V5C is sorted.

STEP 4

Drive away insured

Instant drive-away cover at handover, then a proper annual quote — with a black-box option that actually saves you money.

Quality over quantity. Deliberately.

There won't be 400,000 cars here. Every single one will have earned its badge.
