New analysis shows thousands of UK drivers are searching the same questions as uncertainty around historic car finance agreements continues.

As interest in car finance claims continues to grow across the UK, new search analysis from Mis-sold Expert has revealed the questions motorists are asking most before deciding whether to make a claim.

The findings suggest many consumers remain unsure about how the process works, whether compensation has been paid, and what their options are following the Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) investigation into historic motor finance commission arrangements.

Among the most searched questions are:

  • Are car finance claims legitimate?
  • Has anyone been paid out yet?
  • What is the average payout?
  • Can I make a claim myself?
  • What did Martin Lewis say about car finance claims?
  • Is it too late to claim?
  • Which finance agreements could be affected?
  • How long will claims take?

According to Mis-sold Expert, the volume and nature of these searches highlight widespread uncertainty rather than a lack of interest.

Mis-sold Expert said: "Making a claim isn't always straightforward, and there is a lot of information (and mis-information) being spread. So, our goal with this campaign is simple: make sure people considering a claim know they have options, and encourage them to do their research before deciding what's right for them."

Since the FCA began investigating historic commission arrangements, millions of motorists have been trying to understand whether their finance agreement could be affected.

However, the evolving legal process has resulted in significant confusion online, with misinformation often spreading faster than official guidance.

Mis-sold Expert says “consumers should rely on trusted sources such as the FCA and carefully research any company before deciding how to pursue a complaint.”

The company has also published a guide answering each of the UK's most searched questions, including:

  • Whether claims are genuine
  • Whether anyone has received compensation
  • How complaints currently work
  • What consumers can realistically expect
