The value is
already in the car.

Every used car carries a factory record of the options it was built with, and their original prices. FactorySpecs decodes it from the plate in seconds and turns it into a report in your branding, with a permanent link for your adverts, copy-ready advert text and a forecourt QR card.

It cuts both ways

18% of the cars we check carry no paid extras at all. Knowing that before you bid matters as much as knowing what a loaded car is really worth.

One Porsche Cayenne V8 S we checked carried £33,019 of factory options across 35 items. How many were in the advert?

About these figures

Every statistic on this page is computed from real FactorySpecs reports delivered to paying customers, and can be regenerated from our production records on demand. Figures describe cars we have checked, not the used market as a whole. Report content is drawn from licensed manufacturer build records. It is provided for advisory purposes and should always be verified against the V5C and a physical inspection before any purchase decision.

The free report

One free report per dealership, on a UK-registered car in your stock. We confirm trade status by hand before preparing any report, and your link is normally with you within one working day. For a small number of makes the manufacturer does not release priced option data; reports on those cars carry the factory equipment record and vehicle history instead. We use your details only to prepare your report and reply to your enquiry.
