How it works for you
How CarTrust fits your day-to-day
- 01
Before a vehicle joins
Check every vehicle you're about to buy or lease by chassis number, from one business wallet.
- 02
Inspect the ones that matter
Book a CarTrust pre-purchase inspection for high-value or high-mileage units.
- 03
Keep the record on file
Save each report PDF to the vehicle's file: useful for audits, your insurer and finance.
- 04
At disposal
Give buyers the report when you sell, so used units don't get discounted for "unknown history".
In practice
What it looks like in practice
Example scenarios based on what CarTrust reports actually show. Vehicles, places and figures are illustrative.
Recall notices before rollout
- The situation
- A logistics company buys eight used Toyota Probox vans for a new delivery route.
- What CarTrust showed
- Two of the vans are covered by a manufacturer safety recall notice for the model and year.
- The outcome
- The recall work is checked and done before the vans go into service, not after a breakdown on the road.
Mileage that goes backwards
- The situation
- A fleet manager is offered an ex-lease Toyota Hilux described as "low mileage".
- What CarTrust showed
- The recorded odometer readings show a later reading lower than an earlier one.
- The outcome
- The manager has a clear reason to walk away, and buys a pickup whose history adds up.
A clean file at resale
- The situation
- A company sells twelve staff cars after four years of use.
- What CarTrust showed
- Each car already has its CarTrust report on file from the day it was bought.
- The outcome
- Buyers get the history with the car, so the sale moves faster and fewer offers start from "unknown past".

Good to know
What CarTrust can and can't tell you
- Recall notices are per model and year, check with the dealer whether the work was done on your vehicle.
- History depends on the vehicle; some units, especially locally sourced ones, may have little on record.
- There are no automatic alerts yet: re-check a vehicle when you need an up-to-date view.
