Terms of use

What RoadSift is

RoadSift is a free search tool. It gathers used-car adverts published on other websites, reads the official MOT record where a registration can be identified, and offers an opinion on each car. RoadSift does not sell vehicles, does not act as a broker or dealer, and takes no commission on any sale.

Adverts belong to the original sites

Every advert shown links back to the site that published it. Prices, photos, descriptions and availability are controlled by the seller and that site, not by us. An advert may change or be withdrawn after we have shown it. Any purchase is a contract between you and the seller.

Guidance, not a guarantee

Scores, verdicts and Natasha's commentary are automated guidance based on advert text, photos and MOT data. They are opinions produced by software and can be wrong or incomplete. They are not a mechanical inspection, a valuation, a warranty or financial advice.

Always view a car in person, check the paperwork and the V5C, satisfy yourself about the vehicle's history, and consider an independent inspection before parting with money.

MOT data

MOT history is retrieved from the DVSA MOT History API and shown as supplied. Where the service is unavailable you can copy the registration and check it directly on GOV.UK. We are not the source of this data and cannot correct it.

Acceptable use

Use RoadSift for your own car buying research. Do not scrape, resell or systematically copy the results, attempt to overload the service, or use it to build a competing dataset.

Liability

RoadSift is provided as is, without warranty that results will be complete, accurate or continuously available. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from a decision made using the site. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Changes

These terms may be updated as the service develops. Continuing to use RoadSift after a change means you accept the current version.
