MOT history comes live from the DVSA's official MOT History API. Comparisons with similar cars use DVSA's anonymised MOT dataset, and "still on the road" figures come from Department for Transport licensing statistics.
The summary is AI-assisted. It's written from facts we've already worked out from the MOT record, and every number in it is checked against the data before you see it. If anything doesn't match, you get a standard summary instead.
