Establishing Secure Connection
The car is perfect.
But is the dealership?
You find the perfect car. The showroom is immaculate, and the online reviews are glowing. But behind closed doors, a dangerous industry reality exists.
A common, unspoken practice is for struggling dealers to delay clearing your part-exchange finance, using your settlement money to prop up their own cash flow. If the dealer goes into administration or liquidation before settling your finance, you are left legally liable for the debt on a vehicle you no longer own.
As a market leader, iMotive is the only platform to treat the dealership as a primary financial risk factor. Upgrade to The Enthusiast tier, and we actively map the director’s web of businesses, running a forensic network analysis to flag knock-on insolvency risks before you part with a penny.
Comprehensive Protection.
Other services simply hand you a basic data dump. We provide a 12-month bridge of safety before, during, and after your purchase with highly curated intelligence packages.
1. Tiered Intelligence
Starting from £9.99

2. Forensic Dealer Check
