Frequently Asked Questions

The service

Which Porsche models do you cover?

FlatSix covers every generation of the 911 (964 through to 992, including the air-cooled 993), Boxster and Cayman (986/987 through to the current 718 generation), Cayenne, Macan, Panamera, and Taycan. We do not currently cover classic models prior to the 964 — the 930, 928, 944, 968, 959, 918, and earlier variants are not supported.

Which listings can I submit, and are you affiliated with Auto Trader?

At the moment we analyse listings from Auto Trader UK, with more platforms planned. FlatSix Intelligence is completely independent — we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Auto Trader. We read the public listing page you point us to and combine it with official DVLA and DVSA records.

What's in a FlatSix Report?

Every report follows the same five-section structure, specific to the car you submit:

1. Vehicle overview — a plain-language summary of the car and the headline findings.
2. Specification audit — each claimed option checked against the model's known configuration, with standard versus upgraded equipment separated out.
3. History and risk review — history signals, ownership patterns, and generation-specific issues, with a server-derived risk tier.
4. Price context — factors that would support a higher price and factors that weigh against it.
5. Inspection checklist — a tailored list of exactly what to verify when you view the car in person.

Reports also include the listing photos we retrieve.

What's the difference between Basic and Standard?

Basic (£29) gives you the full five-section analysis based on the listing — vehicle overview, specification audit, history and risk review, price context, and a tailored inspection checklist. Standard (£49) adds a car registration check: verified ownership history, previous keepers, MOT records, a mileage-over-time chart, and DVLA registration record drawn from official government sources. To get the Standard report, enter the car's registration number when you submit.

Where does the data come from?

A report combines the listing you submit with official DVLA (Vehicle Enquiry Service) and DVSA (MOT history) records for the vehicle's number plate, plus a licensed third-party vehicle-data provider for provenance signals such as outstanding finance and write-off markers. The report presents aggregated analysis and commentary — it is not a redistribution of raw data records.

Ordering & delivery

How quickly will I get my report?

Most reports arrive within a few minutes of payment. Each report takes a minimum of around five minutes to generate, and reports are produced one at a time — so during busy periods, if several orders are queued ahead of yours, delivery can occasionally take longer, up to about an hour in the rare case of a full queue. If your report hasn't arrived within 60 minutes, please email hello@flatsixintelligence.com with your order reference and we'll look into it.

Is a FlatSix Report buying advice?

No. A FlatSix Report is factual analysis. It structures what the listing tells you and highlights what it leaves out, so you can ask better questions and make your own informed decision. It is not buying advice, a valuation, or a guarantee of the vehicle's condition or the seller's claims, and it is not a physical inspection. We always recommend a physical pre-purchase inspection by a qualified Porsche specialist before buying any used Porsche.

Can I get a refund?

Reports are generated automatically and delivered immediately, so by ordering you waive the 14-day cancellation right under the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations. Refunds are available in the specific circumstances set out in our refund policy. To request one, email hello@flatsixintelligence.com within 14 days of your order, quoting your order reference and the reason.
