Motor / trade-grade vehicle data
Single lookup engine for cars, vans, motorbikes and HGVs. Trade-grade reports, AI risk scoring and PDF outputs designed for dealers, inspectors and fleet operators.
These brands sit at the trade end of the network. The lookup engine is the same one the consumer brands use, but the workflow is shaped for users running ten or a hundred checks a day rather than a single private buyer running one. API access, batch endpoints, JSON outputs and the same risk-scoring methodology returned in a format that fits into stock management and bid-decision tools.
Expert Motor Check and Motor Analyst layer AI risk scoring over the standard register output, with the component weights listed alongside the headline number so a trade buyer can see exactly which finding moved the score. Lorry Inspect covers the HGV-specific extras (plated weight, operator licence, tachograph history). Motor Inspect handles the pre-purchase in-person inspection where the data alone isn't enough.
For any trade operation, the value of these tools isn't the single-vehicle report — it's the consistency of the data and the speed of the workflow across every vehicle on the lane.

/ Common questions
- Can I book an inspection through the service?
- Yes — the inspection booking is offered separately, with vetted UK independent inspectors covering all postcodes. The inspector is independent of the report and the costs are not shared.
- Does this cover Northern Ireland?
- Yes — Northern Ireland DVA records are included, with the caveat that NI MOT digital records pre-2014 are less complete than GB records of the same era.
- Can I check several registrations at once?
- Yes. Batch submission returns the same fields across a list in one pass, which suits pre-sale catalogue screening and stock audits where the aim is to surface the few problem entries quickly.
- What happens if a lookup returns nothing?
- Usually the registration is mistyped, newly issued, held on an unassigned personal plate, or belongs to an exported or scrapped vehicle. The report distinguishes those cases where the record allows.
- Does it include manufacturer service records?
- Only where the manufacturer participates in a data-sharing scheme. Most do not, so the service record is best obtained from the seller's service book and verified at the issuing garage.
