Completely Revamped Specs & Trims Dataset<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After two years of valuable feedback, suggestions, and updates from you, our users, we’ve fully rebuilt our Specs & Trims database. This comprehensive overhaul involved extensive rationalising, correcting, and researching to ensure accuracy and usefulness. A huge thank-you to everyone who contributed!
Check it out by clicking your vehicle\u2019s main image or selecting the displayed trim\/spec option. Once you’ve selected your exact spec or trim level, you’ll unlock a wealth of additional data, including running costs, fuel economy figures, estimated repair costs, and much more to help you better understand your car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discover Your Vehicle\u2019s Rarity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ever wondered how rare your car is? Our new Vehicle Rarity section uses official DVLA data to show exactly how many of each make and model remain on UK roads, giving you a unique insight into your car’s popularity or rarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Northern Ireland MOT Data Now Available<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At long last, we’ve secured access to MOT information for vehicles registered in Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland users can now benefit from comprehensive MOT data, just like the rest of the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This helps you choose precisely the right oil and potentially save money when purchasing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
