Each estimate is designed to show the evidence used, assumptions made and confidence level. It is an estimate, not a garage quotation.
REG + ADVERT
The registration tells us about the car. The advert tells us what you're being asked to buy.
Adding an advert will allow Lemon Finders to compare recorded history against the seller's current mileage, asking price, specification and claims.
The URL is kept only for this browser session in V0.2. Advert extraction is not live yet.
HOW IT WILL WORK

Recurring defects, repair exposure, seller verification and buyer questions in one report.
BUILT FOR THE DECISION
Not another green tick.
Lemon Finders won't call a vehicle “good” simply because no single database has flagged it. The aim is to show what was checked, what was found and what remains unknown.
MOT pattern analysisFind repeated and deteriorating issues across tests.
Repair exposureEstimate likely costs and explain the calculation.
Seller verificationCompare stated business identity against public records.
Local repair quotesMove from estimate to real garage pricing after launch.
DATA PRINCIPLES
Evidence, timestamps and uncertainty.
Important findings will identify the underlying source.
Vehicle and seller information will carry retrieval timestamps.
Estimates will distinguish strong matches from uncertain assumptions.
No online check can replace a physical mechanical inspection.
EARLY ACCESS
We're connecting the data layer now.
Pre-launch is live. Full vehicle checks, paid reports and repair quotes will only be enabled when their underlying data sources are ready.
