Before you commit

Buying a used car?
Don't buy it alone.

Buyer Check walks you through it panel by panel — so you're not stood there guessing, or relying on someone else's word for it.

Are you the nervous first-time buyer?
Are you a mum taking your daughter or son to view their first car?

Because too many people buy the car that looked fine… and later find out it wasn't. Buyer Check makes sure you know before you buy.

Why this exists

I've bought the car that looked fine.

"I said to the seller — make sure the engine's cold when I get there. Two hundred miles later, it was warm. That should have been my sign to walk. I bought it anyway."

The next day, back home, it wouldn't start properly. Injector problems — on a 1.6 diesel Volvo, that's not a small bill.

That single missed moment — not checking a car cold, not pausing before agreeing — is the exact gap this app is built to close. Every question in it exists because something like it has cost someone real money, including me.

£250 per injector. A lesson I'd rather you didn't have to pay for.
How it works

One question at a time. No jargon.

A guided walk around the car — start to finish, in the order you'd actually move around it.

01 — SET UP

Tell it what you're looking at

Vehicle type, transmission, and whether the engine's cold — because a warm engine hides exactly the faults you're there to catch.

02 — WALK IT

Tap GOOD, NEGOTIATE, or CONCERN

One panel, one question, at a time — with a diagram showing exactly where you're looking, so nobody's left guessing what a "sill" is.

03 — DECIDE

Get a straight answer

BUY, NEGOTIATE, or WALK AWAY — with everything you flagged laid out, ready to email or WhatsApp yourself before you leave.

The green/amber/red system behind every question here traces back to Garrett Morgan, who patented the three-position traffic signal in 1923. A small acknowledgement, seemed worth making.

Who it's for

Built for people standing at the car right now.

First-time buyer

Whoever's with you — or if it's just you

Not everyone has a friend who "knows a bit about cars" free to come along. Open the app on your own, walk the car at your own pace, and have a real reason to say "hang on a minute" before you hand over the cash.

The enthusiast

Knows cars but works 9 to 5

When you're short on time and just want a clear structure to work through, even with someone else waiting on you at the dealership.

Who's behind it

Not a generic checklist. A lifetime in the trade, written down.
