DVLA

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency is the UK government organisation responsible for maintaining a database of drivers in Great Britain and of vehicles for the entire United Kingdom.

DVSA

Working directly with the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency, we monitor and log all MOT test data which we use to perform intelligent analysis on vehicle usage patterns.

Police Records

Data received from the Police National Computer (PCN) allows us to identify vehicles that have either been reported stolen, or vehicles that are of interest to the police.

Finance Companies

We work with banks, finance houses and logbook loan companies to receive alerts of any outstanding debts or loans secured against a vehicle either by vehicle registration number (VRN), or Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

MIAFTR

The Motor Insurers Anti-Fraud and Theft Register is a database containing records of written off and stolen vehicles. MIAFTR monitors and categorises vehicles written off for insurance purposes.

Manufacturers and Dealerships

We gather data from motor manufacturers and dealerships to track vehicle maintenance and servicing requirements across hundreds of vehicle makes and models.

Salvage & Auction
