Vehicle Check API with Unrivalled Coverage
Our Vehicle Check API provides fast, reliable access to comprehensive vehicle provenance data, helping automotive businesses make informed decisions and reduce risk throughout the vehicle lifecycle. Through a single integration, organisations can access vehicle history checks, finance information, write-off records, theft indicators, ownership data, mileage insights, and other critical car data checks from leading automotive data providers.
Vehicle history checks are a fundamental part of the automotive supply chain. Whether a vehicle is being purchased, financed, insured, auctioned, or sold to a retail customer, all parties need confidence that the vehicle has good title and can be legally bought and sold. Access to accurate provenance data helps identify potential issues before transactions take place, protecting businesses, consumers, and lenders from unnecessary risk.
Many businesses and consumers refer to vehicle history reports as an "HPI Check". While HPI is a registered trademark and a specific data provider, the term has become widely used as a generic description for vehicle history checks across the automotive industry. Our Vehicle Check API supports access to multiple vehicle check providers, enabling businesses to select the most appropriate data source for their requirements.
Common integration use cases include car buying websites, dealer part-exchange appraisal systems, consumer vehicle check websites, motor finance underwriting, insurance claims management, auction platforms, and unit stocking plans. Vehicle check data is often used alongside valuation data and vehicle specifications to create a complete picture of a vehicle before acquisition, financing, or disposal.
By integrating vehicle provenance data directly into operational systems and customer journeys, businesses can automate due diligence processes, improve compliance, and make faster, more confident decisions. Whether you are evaluating trade-ins, purchasing stock, assessing insurance claims, approving vehicle finance, or managing auction inventory, our Vehicle Check API delivers the trusted vehicle history information needed to minimise risk and ensure vehicles can be bought and sold with confidence throughout the automotive supply chain.
AutoCheck
We have partnered with Experian to provide access to AutoCheck, a comprehensive vehicle history check designed to help identify the key risks associated with buying, financing, insuring, and selling vehicles. AutoCheck delivers exceptional value by providing detailed vehicle provenance data, including stolen vehicle status, insurance write-off information, outstanding finance records, high-risk markers, and other critical checks.
Salvage Check
Salvage Check helps identify high-risk vehicles earlier by detecting potential write-offs before insurance markers are applied. It also uncovers uncategorised salvage records, including mechanical write-offs, stolen and recovered vehicles, police seizures, and other disposals that would not otherwise appear in standard vehicle history checks.
Taxi Check
Taxi Checks help dealers and buyers identify vehicles with potentially higher wear and greatly increased risk of major mechanical failure, including engine and gearbox issues. Data is sourced directly from licensing authorities across the UK, supporting better risk assessment before purchase.
Recall Check
Recall Check combines multiple data sources from the DVSA and SMMT to deliver one of the UK's most comprehensive vehicle recall checks. It helps identify outstanding safety recalls and manufacturer actions, enabling dealers, buyers, insurers, and fleet operators to make safer, more informed decisions.
Service History
Service History helps establish how well a vehicle has been maintained throughout its life. Vehicles with comprehensive servicing records are typically less likely to suffer costly mechanical issues, while a documented maintenance history can also support stronger resale values and increased buyer confidence.
