CARFAX — YOUR VEHICLE HISTORY EXPERT

Sometimes what you don't know can't hurt you, but that's not the case when
buying a used car. As an independent vehicle history provider, at CARFAX we've
made it our mission to tell you everything you need to know by uncovering as
many events as possible from the previous life of a used car. Our primary goal
is to help you get to know your next car from the inside out before deciding to
make an investment that will be part of you and your family's everyday life. We
believe your next car shouldn't be hiding anything from you.

CARFAX Vehicle History Reports contain over 28 billion historical records from
20 European countries, the US and Canada, which are updated daily with new
information.

Even if you live in a country we don't collect vehicle data from, it's still
always worth checking the Vehicle Identification Number without obligation. The
used car import and export market is booming and many owners would be surprised
to find out exactly what happened to their vehicle during its previous life
abroad.


PRIVACY FOR CUSTOMERS — TRANSPARENCY OVER VEHICLES

Let's be clear: Although we strive to find every detail of a vehicle's life so
far, we are focused only on the vehicle's history, and do not collect any
information on previous owners. The information we provide relates solely to the
vehicle, its odometer reading, any accidents that have been covered up, where
the vehicle comes from and much more — it never gets personal. We've uncovered
irreparable damage several times in the past, but other times our vehicle
history checks draw a blank — and sometimes that's actually a good thing.


SECOND HAND — NOT SECOND BEST

Did you know that considerably more used cars are sold than new cars? We think
this second-hand system is nothing short of fantastic. However, it goes without
saying that it gives rise to different methods and tactics: Some sellers will
disguise a car that's been in an accident under a fresh coat of paint, tamper
with the odometer or conceal theft. This is one of the less appealing aspects of
buying second hand. Our goal is to establish trusting relationships between
buyers and sellers, since this is the best way to help customers make the right
decision. Your new car should be reliable and make you feel safe, as well as
make you feel like you haven't paid too much.

But more than anything else, we don't want you or your family unknowingly
sitting behind the wheel of a vehicle that isn't 100% safe. This is why we
strive to take these vehicles off the road, which not only makes the used car
market safer but our streets safer too.


CARFAX — 35+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN VEHICLE HISTORIES

CARFAX was founded in the US in 1984 and expanded into Europe in 2007. Around
100 team members spread across six European offices process vehicle information
from 22 countries.

Fostering strategic partnerships with registration authorities, law enforcement
agencies, government departments, insurance companies, inspection centers and
numerous other leading companies around the world has enabled us to compile a
unique international database for vehicle histories. We use this database to
help make the used car market more transparent. We give everyone in the process
of buying a used car access to what is currently the world's most comprehensive
source for vehicle history reports, and is growing day by day.

We remain neutral and independent despite our partnerships — our sole purpose is
help customers make an informed choice and ensure their safety and the safety of
their family. This includes never collecting any personal details — we do not
accept any PII from data sources amongst the information we provide about a
vehicle. We ensure that data protection laws are observed at all times.
Furthermore, we always collect our data in compliance with legal and regulatory
frameworks — in all the countries in which we are active. We expressly distance
ourselves from illegal activities such as data theft, scraping and hacking.
