Questions we get asked
Is it reliable? Where does the data come from?
We rely on a reliability database built from serious sources: manufacturer recalls, owner feedback, specialist press. We never invent a fault, and every alert cites its sources. If we're not sure, we say so.
How does it work?
You paste the listing link (or its text). We read the vehicle, check the price against the market, surface the engine's known faults and work out the real cost. You get a free preview, then the full report if you unlock it.
Is it paid? How much?
The first 2 previews are free (score, risk zone, one alert). The full report costs €29.90 as a one-time payment, no subscription. Volume packs exist if you have several listings to check.
Does it work for motorbikes too?
Yes. CarLens covers cars and motorbikes/scooters: same known faults, same real cost (insurance, tyres, chain/CVT…), same negotiation plan.
What if the model isn't covered yet?
We tell you honestly rather than guess a verdict, and you pay nothing. The cost calculation stays free either way.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Your report is reachable via a permanent link, your email is enough. You can come back to it or send it to someone anytime.
What happens to my data and the seller's?
We don't republish any listing and we don't store the seller's contact details (phone, email): they're removed. You bring the content, we return the analysis.
