About 247VehicleCheck
247VehicleCheck is a free vehicle reference with one page per make, model and model year. Each page covers engine and transmission options, fuel economy in UK and US miles per gallon, CO₂ emissions, interior space where published, and US NHTSA crash-test ratings, recalls and owner complaints. It is part of the 247 Tools Network, a collection of free reference tools.
Where our data comes from
- Fuel economy, engines, emissions and interior volume: the US Environmental Protection Agency’s public fueleconomy.gov dataset. Every configuration EPA lists for a model year is shown on that year’s page.
- Safety ratings, recalls and complaints: the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) public API. Recall and complaint counts are a snapshot taken on the date shown on each page.
- European models: a curated catalogue of UK-market models, with generation, production years, facelift year, body styles and engine line-up compiled from Wikipedia and Wikidata. We do not quote fuel economy, CO₂ or Euro NCAP figures for these cars because we cannot verify them to the standard of the EPA and NHTSA data. Where we do not yet hold real figures for a model, its page is kept out of search results rather than filled with guesses.
How we process it
- UK mpg is the US EPA figure multiplied by 1.20095, because the UK gallon is larger. It is a conversion of the EPA test result, not a UK WLTP figure.
- The headline figure on each page is taken from one real configuration, the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid where a model year has one. Hybrid versions and every other configuration are listed separately.
- Nothing is estimated. If a figure is missing from our sources it is left blank.
What we are not
We are not a classifieds site: there are no vehicle listings, prices or dealer links. Some pages carry clearly labelled affiliate links, explained in our affiliate disclosure; they never change the data we publish. Always verify details against your vehicle handbook or a qualified mechanic, and see our disclaimer. To report an error, contact us.
