Most car websites tell you what you already know. Autodun was built to tell you what you don't. Founded in the United Kingdom, Autodun is a digital automotive platform that gives everyday drivers genuinely useful tools — an EV Charging Map, an MOT Risk Predictor, and clear, research-backed guides on everything from choosing the right EV to understanding MOT risk. Whether you're switching to electric, worried about an upcoming MOT, or simply trying to make smarter decisions about your vehicle, Autodun brings accurate, human-first information together in one place. This page explains exactly who we are, what we do, and why we built it this way.
Autodun exists because the gap between technical automotive knowledge and everyday drivers is wider than it should be. Too many car owners make expensive decisions based on incomplete information — buying the wrong EV, ignoring MOT risk signals, or misunderstanding how vehicle data applies to their situation.
Our mission is straightforward: provide accurate, accessible automotive information that helps UK drivers make better decisions. Not clickbait. Not vague advice. Not padded guides that bury the answer on page three.
Every piece of content and every tool on Autodun is built around a single question — does this genuinely help the person reading it? If the answer is no, we don't publish it. That standard drives every article, every data point, and every tool we release. In practice, that means you'll find direct answers at the top of every page, verified sources cited throughout, and named experts behind every recommendation.
Beyond content, Autodun offers two practical tools designed specifically for UK drivers.
The MOT Risk Predictor analyses vehicle data to flag potential failure points before your MOT test date. Rather than guessing, it draws on patterns from UK testing data to surface the issues most likely to cause a failure for your vehicle type and age. The honest answer is no tool can guarantee an MOT outcome — but knowing your risk areas in advance means you can address them, potentially saving the cost of a retest.
The EV Charging Map shows live and verified charging locations across the United Kingdom, with filter options for connector type, charging speed, and network operator. Switching to electric is a significant financial commitment, and knowing where you can reliably charge — before you buy — is information that genuinely matters.
Both tools are free to use. Neither requires account creation. That's a deliberate choice: we believe useful automotive tools should be accessible to everyone, not gated behind subscriptions.
The honest answer is that most automotive "about" pages are essentially useless. They describe the company in vague, self-congratulatory terms without telling you anything concrete. They don't name their team. They don't cite their sources. They don't explain their methodology.
Autodun takes a different approach, and it matters for one specific reason: if you're using our MOT Risk Predictor or trusting our EV charging guides, you deserve to know who built them and how.
Autodun was founded by Kamran Gul, who identified a consistent pattern across UK automotive forums and search data — drivers asking genuinely important questions and receiving either no answer or a dangerously incomplete one. Every tool and article on this platform is built to close that gap.
Our content team cross-references official sources, including GOV.UK guidance on MOT testing and DVSA published standards, before any article is published. We update content when official guidance changes. We acknowledge when something is uncertain rather than filling the gap with invented confidence. That's not a marketing claim — it's a verifiable standard you can test against any article on this site.
For MOT-related content, Autodun references official DVSA guidance published at gov.uk/guidance/mot-testing-guide. For EV charging infrastructure standards in the United Kingdom, we reference guidance published at gov.uk/government/collections/electric-vehicle-charging. Both sources are maintained by official UK government bodies and reflect current regulations as of October 2026. Always verify directly with these sources before acting on regulatory information, as guidance can change. Autodun is not a government service and does not represent any official UK body.
Autodun is a UK-based automotive information platform offering free tools — including an EV Charging Map and MOT Risk Predictor — alongside guides on EV charging and MOT risk. It's built for everyday UK drivers who want accurate, actionable information without wading through vague or overly technical content. Whether you own a traditional petrol car or are considering switching to electric, Autodun is designed to be genuinely useful.
The MOT Risk Predictor analyses your vehicle's characteristics against patterns in UK MOT testing data to identify common failure points for similar vehicles. It doesn't access live DVSA records but uses vehicle type, age, and mileage indicators to surface the issues most associated with MOT failures in your category. The result is a practical checklist of areas worth inspecting before your test date, potentially saving you the cost and inconvenience of a retest.
All Autodun articles and tools carry a last-updated date and are reviewed when official guidance changes. MOT and EV content is cross-referenced with GOV.UK publications on an ongoing basis. If you spot something that looks out of date, use the feedback mechanism on each page — we take those reports seriously and update promptly. The goal is always to reflect current UK standards, not historical ones.
Autodun was built because UK drivers deserve better than vague automotive advice and incomplete technical guides. From MOT risk assessment to EV charging locations, every tool and article on this platform is held to a single standard: does it genuinely help? Start with the MOT Risk Predictor or explore the EV Charging Map — both free, both built for real UK drivers.
Editorial note: This article was researched using official sources. All regulatory claims reflect United Kingdom rules as of October 2026. Always verify with the relevant official United Kingdom body before acting. Autodun is not a government service.
