A CLEARER PICTURE

For the road ahead.

We’re building CarReport.ie to help Irish used-car buyers understand the records, ask better questions and approach a purchase with clarity.

THE IDEA IS SIMPLE

Big purchase.
Better information.

Most people buy a car far less often than they search for one. Finance alerts, mileage readings and write-off categories can feel unfamiliar just when the decision matters.

CarReport.ie brings the questions into plain English. We link to official sources, explain what different checks can establish, and keep uncertainty visible.

What is available today?

Our buyer’s guides and free tools are available now. The registration decoder explains a plate’s format; the mileage converter performs calculations; and the checklist helps prepare for a viewing. These three browser tools do not search vehicle-history databases. Our separate UK MOT lookup retrieves real vehicle and MOT records from DVSA using a UK registration.

What are we building next?

We are researching licensed vehicle-history data integrations. Paid reports will only become available after the necessary data arrangements, coverage, customer-support and payment processes are in place. No report purchases are currently accepted.

Who is behind CarReport.ie?

CarReport.ie is a project of COMMERCIAL ADMINISTRATION BUREAU LIMITED, registered in Ireland, company number 828263. We are independent of the public bodies and third-party providers referenced in our guides.
