The decision, explained
Claim. Record. Evidence.
Our report preview shows a practical sequence: what the seller says, what the available records support, and what you still need to check.
Compare the record
Keep source wording, dates and unavailable checks visible. Missing information must never be treated as clear.
Request the evidence
Ask specific seller questions and take a checklist to the viewing. An assessment must explain its evidence and limits.
Interactive sample report

Explore a fictional case. No supplier lookup was performed and none of these sample values describe a real vehicle.
INCOMPLETE · SAMPLE · NO LIVE DATA
KELNU assessment · illustrative
ON HOLD
This example has no finance, theft or write-off check, so KELNU cannot make a responsible purchase assessment. The illustrative MOT advisory raises a separate question about suspension wear. Ask for repair evidence and complete authorised checks before deciding.
This is KELNU’s interpretation of an illustrative record. In a live report, the separate Source results tab will show the relevant supplier-returned fields, original status wording, source and lookup time. KELNU’s assessment will never replace those results.

Source results
Fictional example — no supplier check performed. These cards show the planned separation of source evidence from KELNU’s assessment. They are not Experian results.
MOT history · example recordAdvisory: “Front suspension arm pin or bush worn”
Source: illustrative MOT wording
Record date: not supplied
Lookup time: no lookup performed
Outstanding financeNot checked
Source: none
Lookup time: no lookup performed
Stolen statusNot checked
Source: none
Lookup time: no lookup performed

Lookup time: no lookup performed
A live report will show relevant supplier-returned fields and original status wording with the source and lookup time, without turning a missing or failed check into “clear.” Each Experian-supplied result will be attributed “Data provided by Experian”; KELNU’s interpretation remains in its own section. A purchaser may revisit their dated report, while each new order requires a fresh check. No live supplier data is shown in this sample.
Evidence and provenance
Illustrative MOT record
“Front suspension arm pin or bush worn” — example wording only. A real report would show the record date and source.
Evidence gap
Repair evidence not available to KELNU — request from seller. Garage invoices and service receipts are not normally part of MOT history.
KELNU inference
Resolve the advisory with paperwork and an in-person check before making a purchase decision.
Editable seller message

Illustrative wording. Edit it to fit the actual vehicle and evidence.
In-person checklist
Take these questions with you
- Ask for invoices or receipts relating to the advisory.
- Compare the paperwork with the vehicle and MOT record.
- Inspect and test-drive the car; consider an independent professional inspection.
- Check other records and provenance checks when available. This example does not verify finance, theft or write-off status.
After the viewing
How did it go?
In the planned service, buyers could share an outcome and optional observations. This preview does not submit or save feedback.
Any future observations would be labelled customer-reported and not independently verified.
What does the advert actually prove?
Our fictional preview separates the seller’s claim, what the example records support, the question to ask and the evidence still needed. A claim such as “full service history” stays unverified until suitable evidence is reviewed.
Explore advert claims and evidenceA yes, no or not sure is enough. Add one sentence if you wish. No payment or account is required.

Good to know
Questions before you decide.
Can KELNU find a car for me now?
Our current focus is helping adults prepare for a used-car viewing, whether buying their first car, replacing a car or helping someone else. You can also create and copy a search brief. Use your brief to set preferences on a vehicle marketplace of your choice. KELNU does not host adverts, return live matches or run live history checks yet.
Do I need a shortlist to use a report?
No. The planned report service would also be available for a specific car you have already found. Matching preferences and checking vehicle history are different steps.
Is KELNU a vehicle inspection?
No. KELNU is decision support based on available information. You should inspect and test-drive the vehicle and seek appropriate professional advice where necessary.
Does a later MOT pass prove a repair was done?
No. A later pass does not by itself establish exactly what work was carried out. Private garage invoices and service receipts are not normally part of the MOT history available to KELNU. Request evidence from the seller.
Can vehicle records reveal finance, theft or write-off status?
DVLA and MOT information alone cannot establish those statuses. KELNU is validating licensed provenance sources before launch and will show clearly which checks are available.
What does BUY mean?
In the planned paid service, BUY would mean the completed checks identified no recorded issue sufficient by itself to warrant NEGOTIATE or WALK AWAY. Missing or failed required checks would prevent that assessment. It would not guarantee that the vehicle is fault-free. No live assessment is available in this preview.
