Market Footprint Status
A clear three-tier status badge — No Flags Detected, Flags Detected, or Significant Flags Detected — built from real listing history, pricing anomalies, and transaction velocity. No vague 'clean/not clean' label, and no arbitrary number.
Real-Time Valuation Band
See whether the asking price sits safely inside the vehicle's localized market value, or whether an outlier price is hiding something.
In-Person Inspection Guide
A checklist tailored to this car's specific flags: exactly what to photograph, look under, and ask the seller to verify before you wire a dollar — each step linked to the flag that triggered it.
One clear status — not a mystery number
Every report resolves to one of three Market Footprint Status tiers, determined by the number and severity of flags found in the available data.
No Flags Detected
No significant flags found in the available market data.
Flags Detected — Inspect Carefully
Anomalies detected — review the inspection checklist carefully.
Significant Flags Detected — Proceed With Caution
Significant flags found — a detailed inspection is strongly advised.

Radical transparency
isthecarclean.com is an independent data-analysis platform. We aggregate publicly available market and listing data, then run an independent market footprint audit to surface flags and give you a focused inspection plan. We are not a manufacturer, a dealership, a government title registry, or a mechanical warranty — and we never pretend to be. Our only product is clear information that helps you make a smarter decision.
Data window: all reports reflect available market history from the past six years. Records outside this window may not be captured, so a report is a starting point for due diligence — not a complete vehicle history.
