The Car Search app is an excellent way to search for vehicles while
on the go. Of course, if you’re near a computer there’s no reason why
you wouldn’t just use the full site, so for the purpose of this review,
we’re going to assume you’re using it to pass some time.
We noticed some complaints in the review section that the app would always return an empty search result listing, but we didn’t run into this problem while using it. As long as you keep the search results clear, and within the confines of what the app can search for, it works pretty well.
Motors.co.uk is no Auto Trader, which means that there are significantly less vehicles to choose from, so keep that in mind, and make sure to use this app in conjunction with other vehicle database websites. Don’t rely on Motors.co.uk as your only resource.
Unfortunately, the mobile app does not provide any custom search results settings, which means you can not choose the display font and size, or how many cars show up in the search results. This can be a bit disconcerting when the screen font is too small, and when there are lots of vehicles found; if the search results are long users must utilize navigation buttons to travel through the pages, it’s not a Herculean hassle but the loading times can get aggravating.
Of course, the app can seem inadequate when we’re merely listing the negative aspects but don’t underestimate it. The Motors.co.uk Car Search app works as advertised and will help you find a selection of vehicles that can be filtered down to show exactly what you need.
The search results display a quick rundown of each vehicle by including make, model, price, mileage, manufacture date, transmission type (manual, automatic), fuel required, color, and of course the distance away from your postcode. When selecting a vehicle profile, you can review even more detailed information about what the vehicle includes as well as browse alternate images.
If you decide you like a vehicle you can inquire directly through the app by emailing or calling for more information. If you happen to know someone looking for a vehicle, you can even share the auto listing socially.
The app also allows you to create custom shortlists, which works as a favorites menu, and you can save vehicle listings under custom categories for organization. For instance if you’re looking at a bunch of BMWs, you can save your favorite listings under a “BMW” shortlist for quick access at a later time.
