Vehicle Smart - Car Check 4+

How many times do people forget their MOT, tax, a service etc. Well this app will prevent it ever happening to you with all of your vehicle details checked and some automatically updated.

I have a small collection of classic motorcycles and I am able to see at a glance in my garage all the information I need. If I select a specific bike I have VIN numbers, service requirements and technical data down to tyre pressures and sizes etc. It takes a little setting up but with your favourite picture of your vehicles uploaded it’s great to flick through.

One of my favourite applications ever it is useful for anyone who has a car, but if you have a number of vehicles it is essential and with a classic collection it appeals to the geek in me and in this case well worth the one off £1.99 upgrade to the unlimited version.

I had another version of this type of app from a different developer and used it regularly for years. This one though has oodles more information and is much better designed.

If for no other reason, anyone with a vehicle can check their MOT and Tax expiry date in a few seconds which is super handy. The amount of times I’ve rifled through paperwork trying to remember when my MOT or Tax (now we don’t have tax discs!!) expires.

You can also do vehicle checks on other people’s cars (handy when buying something or wanting more information on a model you may be considering) search their MOT history for years back (which also shows PASS, FAILS and the reasons why in case of failures). It also shows advisories so you can see what may need doing if you are considering buying a vehicle and someone is trying to pass on their lack of maintenance on to the next owner.

Finally. In the case of an accident, you can quickly check if a car is insured so you can call the police if it shows up as being unfit for the road. This final point is maybe the best reason to own this app and for a very reasonable £3.99 you’d be an idiot not to.

Good free app. Good info about mot history and mileage. Nice and easy to store info about the families vehicles when tax,mot is due. Checked one of my old cars and noticed it had a red marker on the mileage two years after it was sold. Someone had taken 79,000 miles off it! . Pity the new owner didn't, have this app, otherwise they would have noticed it had been clocked. Also has a link onto the motor insurance bureau so if you have a bump with another car, you can see if it has some sort of insurance on it on that day.
Great to see mot history on used vehicles and gives a rough indication if it's been properly maintained or not
