Duewise provides buyer guidance, not a guarantee.
Duewise helps used-car buyers understand risk before viewing a vehicle. It does not replace physical inspection, professional diagnosis, legal checks, finance checks or buyer due diligence.
Core limitation
No online report can fully confirm a vehicle’s condition.
A used car can have hidden faults, missing history, accident damage, poor repairs, mechanical wear or legal issues that are not visible through an online report.
You must inspect and verify before buying.
Duewise reports are designed to support buyer decision-making. They are not a warranty, guarantee, certification, inspection report, roadworthiness certificate or confirmation that a vehicle is safe, legal, reliable or worth purchasing.
What Duewise does not do
Clear boundaries for the service.
These boundaries matter because used-car buying involves mechanical, legal, financial and safety risks.
Not a physical inspection
Duewise cannot see, hear, drive or physically inspect the vehicle. It cannot confirm the real condition of the engine, gearbox, bodywork, tyres, brakes, underside or interior.
Not mechanical diagnosis
Duewise does not diagnose faults. It highlights known model risks, mileage context and buyer checks based on available data and user-entered information.
Not an HPI or finance check
Duewise does not confirm whether a vehicle has outstanding finance, has been written off, stolen, cloned, imported, exported or subject to legal title issues.
Not MOT verification
Duewise may refer to MOT-style checks or advisory patterns, but users must verify MOT history through official sources before buying.
Not a valuation guarantee
Any price guidance is indicative only. Market value depends on condition, history, location, specification, demand and seller circumstances.
Not legal, insurance or financial advice
Duewise does not provide legal advice, insurance advice, finance advice or a guarantee that a vehicle is safe, roadworthy or suitable.
What you still need to do.
Duewise can help you ask better questions and identify risk areas. It cannot remove your responsibility to verify the car, seller, paperwork and condition before paying.
Inspect the vehicle in person before buying.
Check the V5C/logbook and seller identity.
Verify MOT history using official UK sources.
Carry out an HPI/finance/stolen/write-off check where appropriate.
Test drive the vehicle legally and safely.
Consider a professional pre-purchase inspection.
Do not rely only on advert claims or online photos.
Walk away if evidence is missing or the seller avoids basic questions.
No guarantee of reliability.
A vehicle may still fail, need repairs or have hidden defects even if a Duewise report appears positive.
Data may be incomplete.
Reports may be based on user-entered information, vehicle model data and available third-party data. Data can be wrong, incomplete or outdated.
You make the final decision.
Duewise helps structure your buying decision, but the final decision to view, negotiate or buy is yours.
This disclaimer should be reviewed periodically.
Duewise should keep its legal pages aligned with live features, payment terms, data processing and UK consumer requirements.
