6.1 Overview
MyMotorMate offers paid digital vehicle history reports ("Paid Reports") which combine information obtained from multiple trusted third-party Data Providers into a single report.

6.4 Snapshot of Information
Every Paid Report represents a snapshot of information available to MyMotorMate at the exact date and time the report is generated.
Vehicle records may change immediately after the report is produced.
Accordingly:

finance may subsequently be registered;
theft markers may subsequently appear;
insurance write-off information may later become available;
MOT records may change;
mileage information may be updated; and
manufacturer recalls may be issued after your report.
MyMotorMate has no control over when third-party organisations update their databases.
6.5 Report Availability
Paid Reports are normally made available immediately following successful payment.
Where delays occur due to technical issues, maintenance or third-party system outages, we shall make reasonable efforts to provide the report as soon as reasonably practicable.
Temporary delays do not entitle you to compensation.
6.6 Report Accuracy
Whilst MyMotorMate exercises reasonable care in compiling Paid Reports, we do not warrant or guarantee that any report is:
completely accurate;
complete;
current;
error-free;
suitable for your intended purpose; or
free from omissions.
Information is only as reliable as that supplied by the relevant Data Provider.
6.7 Customer Responsibility
A Paid Report forms only one part of the vehicle purchasing process.
Before purchasing any vehicle you should, where appropriate:
physically inspect the vehicle;
verify the VIN/chassis number;
inspect the V5C registration certificate;
compare vehicle details against the report;
inspect for signs of previous repairs or hidden damage;
review the service history;
conduct a road test;
verify the seller's identity; and
obtain an independent mechanical inspection.
A Paid Report must never replace appropriate due diligence.
6.8 No Guarantee of Vehicle Condition
A clear Paid Report does not guarantee that a vehicle:
has never been involved in an accident;
has never sustained damage;
is mechanically sound;
has not been poorly repaired;
is free from corrosion;
has genuine mileage;
is legally owned by the seller;
is free from undisclosed defects; or
is suitable for purchase.
Certain events may never be reported to any Data Provider.
6.9 AI-Generated Summaries
Where a Paid Report includes AI-generated summaries, explanations or buying guidance:
such content is automatically generated;
it may contain inaccuracies;
it should not be treated as professional advice;
it should not replace your own judgment;
it does not form part of any vehicle history guarantee; and
it should only be considered alongside the underlying report data.
6.10 Report Ownership
Following purchase, you are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Paid Report for your own personal or internal business purposes.
You may:
download the report;
print the report; and
retain a copy for your records.
You must not:
resell the report;
redistribute the report commercially;
publish the report without permission;
modify the report to misrepresent its contents;
remove copyright notices; or
incorporate the report into another commercial product without our prior written consent.
6.11 Report Storage
Where technically available, Paid Reports may remain accessible within your Account.
MyMotorMate does not guarantee permanent online storage of reports.
Users should download and retain copies for their own records.

finance information;
write-off history;
theft records;
mileage;
ownership;
vehicle value;
recalls;
vehicle condition; or
any other data contained within a Paid Report.
Any guarantees offered by third-party Data Providers remain subject to the separate terms of those providers.

This may include:
additional data sources;
improved AI analysis;
new report sections;
enhanced vehicle imagery;
valuation tools;
recall information;
maintenance predictions; or
other vehicle intelligence features.
Such improvements may be introduced without notice and may differ from reports previously purchased.
6.14 Intended Use
Paid Reports are provided solely for lawful purposes.
You must not use them:
to facilitate fraud;
to impersonate another person;
to harass or intimidate others;
to create competing databases;
for unlawful surveillance;
to breach applicable data protection legislation; or
for any purpose prohibited by law.
6.15 Consumer Rights

that updates have been received by all connected systems.
7.5 DVLA Information
Vehicle registration information supplied from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), where available, is displayed as supplied by the relevant authority.
MyMotorMate accepts no responsibility for inaccuracies, delays or omissions contained within DVLA data.
7.6 Snapshot of Information
Every search and every report generated by MyMotorMate represents a snapshot of information available to us at the exact date and time the report is produced.
Vehicle records may change immediately after your search due to, without limitation:
new finance agreements;
theft reports;
insurance claims;
vehicle write-offs;
MOT results;
mileage submissions;
ownership changes;
recalls;
registration updates; or
corrections made by Data Providers.
MyMotorMate has no control over when information becomes available from third-party sources.
7.7 Delays in Third-Party Data
Information provided by third-party organisations may not appear immediately.
There may be unavoidable delays between:
an event occurring;
the event being recorded;
the event being processed by the relevant organisation;
the event being supplied to Data Providers; and
the information becoming available through MyMotorMate.
Such delays are outside the control of MyMotorMate and shall not constitute an error on our part.
7.8 Hidden or Unrecorded Information
Not every event affecting a vehicle is recorded within national or commercial databases.
Accordingly, a report indicating no adverse history does not guarantee that a vehicle:
has never been damaged;
has never been involved in an accident;
has never suffered flood damage;
has never sustained fire damage;
has never been structurally repaired;
has never been cloned;
has never been stolen;
has never had its mileage altered;
has never been modified; or
is free from defects.
Some events may never be reported to any Data Provider.
7.9 Vehicle Inspection
MyMotorMate strongly recommends that every vehicle is physically inspected before purchase.
Where appropriate, you should:
inspect the bodywork for previous repairs;
examine paint consistency;
inspect structural components;
verify the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN);
compare the VIN with the V5C registration certificate;
review the service history;
inspect the interior;
inspect tyres and brakes;
carry out a road test;
verify the seller's identity; and
obtain an independent mechanical inspection.
A vehicle history report should never replace a thorough physical inspection.
7.10 AI-Generated Information
Where AI-generated summaries, recommendations or explanations are provided:
they are generated automatically;
they are based solely upon information available to MyMotorMate at the time;
they may contain inaccuracies;
they should not be interpreted as professional advice;
they do not constitute legal, financial, insurance or mechanical advice; and
they must not be relied upon as the sole basis for any purchasing decision.
7.11 No Reliance
You acknowledge that:
all information supplied through MyMotorMate is provided for general informational purposes only;
you remain solely responsible for any decision you make;
MyMotorMate is not acting as your adviser, agent or representative; and
you accept all risks associated with purchasing or dealing with any vehicle.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, MyMotorMate makes no representation or warranty that information supplied through the Services is:

complete;
current;
reliable;
uninterrupted;
suitable for your intended purpose; or
free from defects.
All information is supplied "as available" and "as is".
7.13 Errors and Corrections
Whilst we strive to present accurate information, errors may occasionally occur.
Where MyMotorMate becomes aware of an error within our own systems, we reserve the right to:
correct the information;
regenerate reports;
amend report layouts;
notify affected users where appropriate; and
improve our systems to reduce the likelihood of future occurrences.
Nothing within this clause creates an obligation to continually monitor or verify third-party data.
7.14 Limitation Regarding Data Providers
MyMotorMate shall not be responsible for any loss arising from:
inaccurate third-party data;
incomplete third-party data;
delayed third-party updates;
missing records;
withdrawn records;
incorrectly supplied information;
unavailable databases; or
failures affecting third-party systems.
Where a third-party Data Provider offers its own guarantee or compensation scheme, any claim relating to that guarantee must be pursued in accordance with the terms of the relevant provider.
7.15 Acknowledgement
By using MyMotorMate, you acknowledge and agree that:
vehicle data is sourced from independent third parties;
no database is guaranteed to be complete;
hidden or unrecorded vehicle history may exist;
a Paid Report forms only one part of your due diligence; and
you remain responsible for carrying out appropriate inspections and checks before purchasing, financing, selling or otherwise dealing with any vehicle.
