Straight answers

FAQs, minus the waffle.

What you are buying, what the score means and what a history report can—and cannot—tell you.

Is the full check really 99p?+

That is the intended launch price: one full check for 99p, without a subscription or automatic renewal. This prototype does not process real payments.

What can I see for free?+

The planned free layer includes useful basic vehicle and MOT information such as make, model, MOT status, expiry, mileage history and advisories where available.

What does 99p unlock?+

The Lemoned Check is designed to add paid provenance information, write-off status, enhanced red-flag analysis, market value and the combined Lemoned Score.

Is a high Lemoned Score good or bad?+

Bad. The scale is deliberately explicit: 0 is very clean and 100 is extremely risky or very “lemony”.

Does a clear report prove the car is safe?+

No. A data check is one part of buying a used car. It cannot replace viewing, test-driving and independently inspecting the vehicle.

Are you an official DVLA or MIB partner?+

No such partnership is claimed in this prototype. The live product will name only sources and agreements that are genuinely approved.

Does my 99p go directly to charity?+

No. Service costs have to be paid first. The intended model is for qualifying profit remaining after those costs to be donated to charity.
