Terms of Service
Last updated: June 2026
These Terms of Service govern your use of the website and services provided by MotorIQ.ai Ltd, trading as Should I Buy This Car? (“we”, “us”, “our”).
By accessing or using our services, you agree to these Terms.
1. The Service
Should I Buy This Car? provides vehicle ownership risk reports based on data analysis of UK vehicle ownership patterns.
Our reports analyse factors such as:
common mechanical issues
typical repair costs
failure patterns
comparable vehicles in our dataset
The service is designed to help users better understand potential ownership risks before purchasing a vehicle.
Reports are generated based on the vehicle registration number and mileage entered by the user.
2. Nature of the Information Provided
2. Nature of the Information Provided
Reports generated by the Should I Buy This Car? service are based on statistical analysis of historical vehicle ownership data and modelling of common repair patterns, maintenance trends, and ownership outcomes across comparable vehicles.
The information provided in a report reflects probabilistic insights derived from aggregated historical data and analytical modelling. These insights are intended to help users better understand potential ownership risks associated with particular vehicle types, components, and mileage ranges.
The outputs of the service represent statistical likelihoods and typical patterns observed within our datasets. They do not guarantee the condition, reliability, performance, or future repair costs of any specific vehicle.
Vehicle condition can vary significantly depending on maintenance history, usage, environment, prior repairs, and other factors beyond our control.
The Should I Buy This Car? service does not inspect, examine, or verify the physical condition of any individual vehicle. Reports are generated solely from data analysis based on the vehicle registration number and mileage entered by the user. As such, a report cannot identify the current mechanical condition, hidden faults, or specific maintenance history of the vehicle being considered.
Our reports should be used as one source of information when researching a vehicle purchase. They should not be relied upon as the sole basis for a purchase decision and should be considered alongside other checks such as vehicle inspections, history reports, and professional advice where appropriate.
Nothing in the report constitutes mechanical, financial, or professional advice.
3. User Responsibilities
When using the service, you agree to:
provide accurate information where requested
use the service only for lawful purposes
not attempt to reverse engineer, copy, or reproduce the underlying analysis or data models
not extract data from reports in bulk
not reproduce underlying datasets
not use the service to train machine learning or AI models
not attempt to recreate the analytical outputs of the service.
You must not use the service in a way that interferes with the operation of the platform.
Reports generated through the Should I Buy This Car? service are provided for personal use only.
Reports may not be reproduced, redistributed, resold, or commercially exploited without the written permission of MotorIQ.ai Ltd.
4. Payment
Once payment has been successfully processed, your report will be generated and delivered digitally.
Reports are made available:
on-screen through the website, and/or
via email to the address provided during checkout.
Delivery times may vary depending on system processing and demand, but reports are typically generated shortly after purchase.
It is the user’s responsibility to ensure the email address provided is correct and to check spam or junk folders if the report email is not immediately visible.
If you do not receive your report due to a technical issue, please contact us and we will assist in resolving the problem.
5. Experian Data Guarantee
Full Reports and Basic-to-Full upgrades may include a Vehicle History Check with data provided by Experian.
Where an Experian Data Guarantee is included with that history-check data, the guarantee is provided by Experian, not by MotorIQ.ai Ltd or Should I Buy This Car?.
By buying or using a Full Report or a Basic-to-Full upgrade that includes Experian vehicle history data, you agree to the Experian Data Guarantee Terms and Conditions as part of these Terms of Service.
You can read the Experian Data Guarantee Terms and Conditions here: https://www.experian.co.uk/content/dam/marketing/uki/uk/en/assets/legal/data-guarantee-terms-and-conditions.pdf
Experian terms define the covered data items, eligibility conditions, exclusions, claim process, duration, financial limits, indemnity limits, and evidence requirements.
If you believe there is an error in the Experian vehicle history data that may be covered by the Experian Data Guarantee, any claim must be made under Experian terms and through the Experian claim process. MotorIQ.ai Ltd does not provide a separate guarantee or indemnity for Experian vehicle history data.
6. Refunds
Due to the nature of digital products, refunds are not available once a report has been generated and delivered.
If you experience a technical issue that prevents you from receiving your report, please contact us and we will work to resolve the issue.
7. Availability of the Service
We aim to provide a reliable service, but we do not guarantee that the platform will always be available without interruption.
We may update, modify, or temporarily suspend the service for maintenance or improvements.
8. Limitation of Liability
MotorIQ.ai Ltd is not liable for any loss, damage, repair cost, or financial outcome arising from decisions made based on information provided in our reports.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our liability is limited to the amount paid for the report.
Nothing in these terms limits liability where it cannot be excluded under UK law.
9. Intellectual Property
All content, analysis methods, design, and data structures used in the service are the intellectual property of MotorIQ.ai Ltd.
You may not reproduce, distribute, or commercially exploit any part of the service without permission.
