About Many Auto
Many Auto is an independent UK motoring journal. It is not a garage, not a dealer and not owned by one. We do not sell MOT tests, services or cars. We write plain-English guides to running a car in Britain, with the figures sourced to the DVSA, DVLA, GOV.UK and the Highway Code, and link straight back to them.
Who writes it
Articles are signed "the editors" rather than individuals, because the pieces are reviewed and edited collectively and we would rather not invent a line-up of experts that is not true. Where we quote a figure, we cite the primary source; where a figure changes often; MOT fee cap, speed limits in Wales, EV grant eligibility; we say so and tell you to check the current figure on gov.uk.
What we will not do
- Recommend a specific garage, mechanic or dealer by name.
- Make up statistics, expert quotes, customer testimonials or awards.
- Accept affiliate deals for parts, insurance or finance.
- Run paid-for reviews dressed up as editorial.
We do accept guest pitches on UK car ownership. The brief is on the write-for-us page.
Correction policy
If we have a figure wrong, or a rule has moved on, email [email protected]. We fix the article and note the change at the bottom.
