How Ralph helps you decide.

  • How does Ralph guide a buying decision?
    Ralph brings the vehicle record, advert, photos, seller claims, price and the way you are buying into one analysis. It shows what supports the purchase, what needs checking and whether the evidence points to proceed, proceed only if, or walk away. For auctions, Ralph also considers the all-in cost and maximum bid.
  • What information can Ralph bring together?
    Ralph can use UK vehicle records, supported auction and marketplace links, listing photos, seller details and information you enter yourself. Supported sources include Copart and IAA / SYNETIQ. If a link cannot be extracted, add the registration or VIN and listing details manually; Ralph can still analyse them together.
  • What changes between Free, Basic and Premium?
    Free Check gives you the available UK vehicle identity, MOT and mileage record. Basic Check adds Ralph's analysis of the public record and previous adverts when available. Premium Check adds licensed finance, stolen and write-off evidence, valuation, condition analysis and fuller price or bid guidance.
  • What can Ralph not decide for me?
    Ralph explains the available evidence and flags important gaps, but records and photos can be incomplete and photos cannot reveal hidden damage. Ralph cannot inspect the car, confirm every seller claim or make the final decision for you. Use the guidance alongside an inspection and document checks.
