About WheelsAI

How we verify

✓MOT & mileage history — pulled live from the DVSA on every listing.
✓Tax status, SORN, V5C check — straight from the DVLA, refreshed each time the page loads.
✓HPI / outstanding finance / write-off category — cross-checked against the same database the dealer pays £20 to read.
✓Dealer identity — Companies House registration, trading address and active trade insurance verified before a single car is listed.
✓Live market valuation — a price range, not a point estimate, drawn from current UK retail listings.

All UK government data is used under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (DVLA, DVSA); MOT history © Crown copyright.

What we do

WheelsAI helps UK buyers find the right used car without taking the dealer's word for it. Every listing carries a free MOT history check, tax and registration status, and a transparent valuation drawn from live market data — surfaced in one place rather than spread across half a dozen government and commercial sites.

How dealers are vetted

Every dealer is verified against Companies House, holds a registered UK trading address, valid public liability and trade insurance, and (where applicable) a current VAT registration. We cross-check these before a dealer's stock appears on the marketplace. Dealers retain full control of their listings; we do not sell vehicles directly and we never mark up a car's price.

Where our data comes from

MOT history is sourced directly from the DVSA. Tax status, registration and SORN information come from the DVLA. Valuations are a composite of live retail signals across the UK market, shown as ranges so buyers can see the spread of comparable listings rather than a single number.

Our editorial approach

Buying guides on WheelsAI are written by our editorial team and reviewed for technical accuracy against current DVLA, DVSA and HMRC guidance at the date noted on each article. When manufacturer specifications, tax bands, or regulatory frameworks change, we update affected guides and surface a "Last updated" timestamp on the article.

About the author

Dean Griffiths

Founder, WheelsAI

Dean founded WheelsAI to fix a simple problem: used car buyers were making decisions blind while dealers held all the data. By connecting directly to DVLA and DVSA records, WheelsAI puts MOT history, tax status, and valuation data in front of every buyer before they make the call. Every guide on WheelsAI is written or reviewed by Dean against live government data sources.
