What is available now

You can explore a fictional report, prepare a car-shortlist brief, use a viewing checklist, explore a limited MOT wording translator and voluntarily give feedback. Matching and live checks are still being developed. No order or booking is created by using these tools.

Any displayed report price is a planned price for a possible future service. No payment is taken and there is no commitment to buy.

How to use the examples

All public sample vehicles, records and scenarios are fictional and labelled INCOMPLETE · SAMPLE. They are not findings about a real car. A sample BUY, NEGOTIATE or WALK AWAY assessment illustrates decision support; it is not a mechanical inspection, valuation, diagnosis or guarantee.

Unavailable information does not mean clear. Compare a real vehicle with its documents, ask for evidence, arrange an appropriate authorised history check and consider an independent inspection before committing to a purchase.

Viewing dossier

The checklist lets you record your own notes, seller answers and reference photos. Marking a step reviewed does not verify a claim or establish vehicle safety. Entries and photos are processed on your open page and are not uploaded to KELNU. Save and reopen a dossier file on your device to keep your work; there is no automatic backup, online account or sync. The saved file is not encrypted. Do not add personal details, registration numbers, VINs or complete vehicle documents. Obtain permission before photographing evidence and crop or redact identifying details. KELNU does not authenticate documents or seller answers.

MOT wording translator

The translator recognises a few keywords in text you provide. It cannot authenticate an MOT record, interpret every phrase or determine a defect, its severity, repair completion or present vehicle safety. Review the complete dated source entry and seek qualified advice when unsure. Translator text is processed on the open page and is not submitted to KELNU.

Shortlists and external links

A shortlist brief organises your requirements. It does not establish availability, reserve a vehicle or verify a seller. Links to other websites open services operated by those providers; their information, terms and costs apply.

Optional research

Feedback is voluntary and is commercial product research. The checklist is free whether or not you complete a survey. Do not include names, contact details, real registrations or VINs in survey answers. Read the research privacy notice before taking part.

Driving instructor referrals

The referral programme is deferred. Registration, tracking and payouts are not active, and no reward is currently offered. Any future scheme requires separate published terms after buyer demand and paid-service economics have been assessed.

Before a paid service opens

We will publish the exact checks and coverage, total price, delivery expectations, customer access, retention, cancellation and failed-delivery terms before accepting an order. Paid use will require the relevant data permissions and a verified customer flow.

Your rights and concerns

Nothing here excludes statutory rights or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Contact kelnu.contact@gmail.com with a question, concern or complaint about the preview.
