AI-powered OBD-II fault code diagnostic tool for UK drivers

AI-Powered Diagnostics, Built for UK Drivers

We built AI-Diagnostics-Pro so that any UK driver can instantly understand their check engine light — without paying £60–£120 just to find out what the code means.

AI-Diagnostics-Pro is an AI-powered diagnostic tool that generates vehicle-specific OBD-II fault code reports for UK drivers. When you enter your fault code, vehicle make, model and year, our system uses Google's Gemini large language model — trained on extensive automotive data — to produce a report covering likely causes, UK repair costs, step-by-step fix guidance, and DVSA MOT implications.

All content on this site — including fault code guides, blog articles, and diagnostic reports — is AI-generated. We update prompts, page content, and product guidance over time as we improve the service for UK drivers.

AI-generated content is not a substitute for a qualified mechanic's hands-on assessment. Our reports are designed to help you understand your fault code, make informed decisions, and avoid being overcharged — not to replace professional diagnosis.

How Our AI Generates Reports

01 Fault code identification

We identify the OBD-II diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and match it against the standardised SAE J1979 code library, covering generic P, B, C and U codes as well as manufacturer-specific codes.

02 Vehicle-specific analysis

The AI cross-references your fault code with your specific year, make, model and engine to produce causes and fixes relevant to your vehicle — not a generic description that applies to every car equally.

03 UK repair cost calibration

Repair cost estimates are generated using UK labour rate benchmarks sourced from AA, RAC and independent garage surveys, combined with UK parts pricing data from major UK suppliers. We specifically avoid US cost data, which is frequently cited by other tools and is not applicable to British garages.

04 DVSA MOT standards

MOT implications are assessed against the current DVSA MOT inspection manual and testing standards, updated to reflect 2026 regulations including EV and hybrid requirements.

05 Plain English output

The final report is structured to be understood by a non-technical driver — not an automotive engineer. We explain what the code means, what you can do yourself, and when you need professional help.

06 Editorial review

Every report and page on this site is reviewed by the AI-Diagnostics-Pro editorial team before publication. We check accuracy, clarity, and whether the guidance aligns with current UK garage practices and MOT standards.

What Our AI Covers

  • All OBD-II generic fault codes (P0, P2, B, C, U)
  • Manufacturer-specific codes for major UK brands
  • 50+ vehicle makes including Ford, Vauxhall, BMW, VW, Toyota, Mercedes
  • Petrol, diesel, hybrid and electric vehicles
  • UK-specific labour rates and parts pricing
  • DVSA MOT testing standards 2026
  • DIY repair difficulty ratings
  • Step-by-step fix guidance with tool requirements

Beyond engine-only diagnostics

Our reports are not limited to powertrain faults. When a scanner surfaces body, chassis, or communication issues, the stronger next step is to follow the matching guide rather than forcing every dashboard problem into one engine-code explanation.

What Our AI Cannot Do

Being transparent about limitations is as important as describing capabilities. Our AI reports are accurate for the most common causes of each fault code, but they cannot:

  • Physically inspect your vehicle or measure live sensor data
  • Diagnose intermittent faults that do not produce stored codes
  • Account for vehicle-specific history, modifications or prior repairs
  • Replace a hands-on assessment by a qualified mechanic for complex faults
  • Guarantee a specific repair cost — estimates reflect typical UK market rates

How We Review and Maintain Content

UK repair-cost guidanceReviewed quarterly against AA, RAC and garage survey data
DVSA MOT guidance and regulationsUpdated when published guidance materially changes
Fault code pages and explanationsExpanded and revised as new data emerges
Blog articles and help pagesReviewed periodically by the editorial team
AI prompts and report structureContinuously refined with editorial oversight

Our Commitment

  • We are transparent about AI authorship. All diagnostic reports and editorial content are AI-generated, then reviewed by our editorial team.
  • We will always be clear about what AI-Diagnostics-Pro can and cannot do — it is a diagnostic aid, not a replacement for a qualified mechanic.
  • Our repair cost estimates are based on UK market data from AA, RAC and independent garage sources, reviewed quarterly.
  • Paid report access expires 12 hours after purchase. The underlying session data is then scheduled for automatic deletion through storage lifecycle controls, which may complete within roughly 24 hours. Review submissions are stored in Google Sheets until removed.
  • We are continuously improving our diagnostic accuracy based on customer feedback from UK drivers and editorial review.
