Editorial standards

  • Vehicle tax rates, MOT fees and fuel prices come from GOV.UK: the vehicle tax rate tables, DVSA's MOT fees and the government's weekly road fuel prices. Our model guides say which of their figures are editorial estimates.
  • If we find a mistake in a published figure, we correct it.
  • Some dealer profiles show a reviews figure that Autoza compiles from public review sites. It is not a rating collected by Autoza.
  • We do not accept paid editorial placements. Sponsored content, if ever published, will be labelled clearly.
