MotorLedger Features — AI-Powered Car Portfolio Tracking
Everything your collection demands.
Built for collectors who treat their cars as seriously as their investments.
Running Costs
Track what your cars actually cost to own. Enter your MPG and fuel price, service interval and typical cost, tyre cost and expected life — MotorLedger multiplies by your actual logged mileage and pulls your insurance premium automatically. See your total annual cost and cost per mile across every vehicle in your collection.
Smart Vehicle Lookup
Enter a UK registration and MotorLedger auto-populates twelve fields from DVLA — make, model, year and month of first registration, colour, engine capacity, CO₂ emissions, Euro emissions standard, tax status and renewal date, MOT status and expiry, and the date your V5C logbook was last issued. Seven characters typed. Twelve fields populated.
Full MOT History
Pull your complete MOT history directly from DVSA — every pass, every fail, every advisory, every mileage reading. Decades of records, one tap. MotorLedger also handles MOT exemptions automatically: new cars under three years show "First MOT due" with the exact date, and historic vehicles over 40 years are flagged as "Exempt (historic)" — no false reminders.
Smart Reminders
Never miss an MOT, a service date, an insurance renewal, or road tax again. MotorLedger pulls live tax status from DVLA — Taxed, SORN, or Untaxed — and alerts you 60 days before anything expires. Red alerts the moment something is overdue. Well ahead of DVLA's own three-week reminder letter.
Vehicle History Pack
Ownership chain, provenance checklist, service timeline, document library, V5C issue dates — compiled into a single printable document. Every DVLA lookup captures the date your V5C was last issued, a strong proxy for ownership changes that becomes part of your vehicle's paper trail. Ready for sale day, ready for the price it deserves.
AI Document Intelligence
Upload your insurance policy, MOT certificate, or V5C. Our AI reads every field and pre-fills the form — insurer, policy number, agreed value, renewal date, everything. Review, confirm, done. Then ask questions in plain English: "Does my policy cover track days?"
Portfolio Valuation
See your collection's total value at a glance. Track purchase price against current market value for every vehicle. AI-assisted estimates give you a confidence range and reasoning — an informed starting point for insurance, portfolio tracking, and sale-day decisions. Get a specialist appraisal when the money justifies it.
Market Intelligence
What's rising. What's sleeping. What's peaked. Our market tracker shows the top 12 movers in both the UK and US car markets, with year-on-year price changes and the reasoning behind each trend. Track the market before it moves.
Mileage & Service Tracking
Log odometer readings with date stamps. MotorLedger calculates your annual mileage rate automatically. Record every service with cost, garage, and work performed. Build the documented low-mileage provenance that buyers pay premiums for.
Insurance Management
Upload your policy document. AI extracts insurer, policy number, agreed value, excess, renewal date, named drivers — everything. Then query your policy in plain English: "What's my excess for windscreen claims?" All fields editable, all data under your control.
Photo Gallery
Up to 20 photos per vehicle. Drag-and-drop upload, automatic compression, hero image selection. Document your car's condition as meticulously as you maintain it. Private storage with signed URLs — your photos are never publicly accessible.
Export & Backup
Export your entire garage as JSON. Import it on another device. Or save a fully self-contained HTML snapshot that works offline in any browser — open the file, see your full garage, no internet needed. Your data, your control, forever.
Multi-Market
UK or US. GBP or USD. MOT or State Inspection. DVLA or NHTSA. MotorLedger adapts to your market — labels, currencies, date formats, and data sources all switch automatically. One app, both sides of the Atlantic.
Mobile & Desktop
Native iOS and Android apps via the App Store and Google Play. Full-featured web app at your desk. Your garage syncs across every device. Take photos from your phone, analyse documents on your laptop, check values anywhere.
