Before you buy
know the risk.
One missed service can cost thousands.
Check the vehicle before you leave a deposit or transfer funds.
Why buyers get caught out
Many used cars are sold without a complete service history report, making it hard to verify past repairs, inspections and maintenance records.
A Red Flag report helps you spot warning signs before committing to the car.
Service gaps can indicate overdue maintenance.
Missing records can hide costly repairs.
Verbal assurances aren't documentation.
Surface vs Substance
A clean interior doesn't mean a clean engine. Our data goes beyond the polish.
The Paperwork Gap
Lost logbooks are common. We reconstruct history from workshop-direct records.
Hidden Costs
Maintenance isn't just oil changes. We track major parts and deferred repairs.

Buyer Success Stories
How buyers avoid a bad purchase
Smart buyers use GlovBox to uncover what sellers forget to mention.
Olivia
"PPSR said the car was 'clean', but GlovBox flagged a major deferred timing belt service. I used the report to negotiate $1,200 off the price to cover the work. It paid for itself 30 times over."
Parramatta, NSW
2017 VW GOLF GTI
Helped me negotiate the price.
Linda K.
"The Risk Score of 4.2 was a huge red flag. The seller claimed 'perfect history', but GlovBox showed three skipped services in two years. I walked away and found a much better car with a 9.1 score."
St Kilda, VIC
2020 Hyundai Tucson
Spotted service gaps instantly.

Gold Coast, QLD
2015 LandCruiser 79
Saved me from buying a risky car.
