Full analysis
Overview
M.A.S Autoparts Ltd is a public-facing local automotive garage website serving Newcastle customers with MOT, repair, tyre, exhaust, parts, and accessories services. Its apparent business model is straightforward: generating revenue through vehicle servicing, customer bookings, and the sale of automotive parts.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
No contradictions were observed across the supplied evidence: there is no detected phishing behavior, brand impersonation, conflicting legal identity, or confirmed malicious pattern. The homepage presents a coherent local-business proposition, identifiable services, contact channels, and a physical address, while no sensitive login or payment form was detected. One isolated external detection and two abuse reports associated with shared provider infrastructure are weak, uncorroborated signals; the abuse reports carried zero confidence and were discounted because they applied to shared infrastructure rather than being specifically attributed to this website.
- Homepage: No page-level red flags, brand-impersonation indicators, login form, or hidden sensitive form were detected.
- External reputation checks: One malicious classification was recorded, while broader checks reported no malicious result and no confirmed blacklist or phishing finding.
- Domain history: Registered 2012 (~14.1 years old), supporting a long-established web presence.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The site identifies the business as M.A.S Autoparts Ltd and provides automotive services rather than presenting a financial or otherwise regulated investment proposition. The reviewed content links to Terms of Use, Privacy & Cookie Policy, and Trading Terms, but does not state a licence or registration number; this is a transparency point for ordinary business verification, not evidence of a scam. The available evidence does not independently verify the real-world operator behind the site, and the limited page-authority signal provides little additional corroboration. No matching third-party broker record was identified.
- Homepage and contact content: Identifies “M.A.S Autoparts Ltd,” lists 52 Chillingham Rd, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE6 5BT, and presents telephone contact details.
- Site navigation: Provides Terms of Use, Privacy & Cookie Policy, and Trading Terms pages.
- Hosting and transport security: Served on AS16509 (Amazon.com, Inc., US); TLS certificate issued by YR1, validation level DV, valid to 2026-10-21.
What to Verify Next
Before credential or payment interactions, an independent check should confirm that the stated business name, Newcastle address, and telephone details correspond to the intended trading entity. Any applicable automotive, MOT, or local-business registration should be checked through the relevant official registry, and the trading terms should be reviewed for payment, cancellation, warranty, and customer-remedy provisions. Contact channels should be confirmed through an independent route before arranging a high-value service or parts purchase.
- Business identity check: The site supplies a legal-style trading name and a specific physical address suitable for independent confirmation.
- Service scope check: The site describes MOT, tyre, exhaust, repair, and parts-related services rather than financial products.
- Transaction terms check: A dedicated Trading Terms page is linked from the site.
Summary Verdict
Available evidence is consistent with an established, apparently legitimate local-business website and supports a high-trust, low-risk posture. That assessment does not independently prove the real-world identity of the operator, so legitimacy should be understood as evidence-consistent rather than conclusively verified.
Infrastructure Integrity
The website is protected by Amazon-provided CDN/WAF infrastructure, which is a mitigating control against direct origin exposure and common delivery-layer abuse; protective hosting remains an infrastructure safeguard, not proof of business legitimacy.
- Hosting infrastructure: One observed edge address, 35.172.94.1, belongs to AS14618, Amazon.com, Inc.; no likely origin candidate was identified.
- CDN/WAF posture: CDN protection was detected, with all observed addresses attributed to edge infrastructure.
Closing Assessment
The site is suitable for ordinary, proportionate engagement, subject to independent confirmation of the trading entity and normal payment-protection and service-terms checks before commitments involving credentials or funds.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about masautoparts.co.uk at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.
TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
