Add stock in seconds with number-plate lookup

Adding a vehicle should not mean typing out its entire spec. With MotoVend you type the number plate and the vehicle’s make, model, year, derivative and key specification fill themselves in — drawn from AutoTrader and Vehicle Data Global. What used to be ten minutes of data entry per vehicle becomes a few seconds, so a fresh arrival is online and selling almost as fast as you can photograph it. Accurate data every time, with none of the typos that creep in when you key it by hand.

What you get with Number-Plate (VRM) Lookup

Type the plate, done

Enter the registration and the make, model, year and derivative auto-fill — most of the advert is written before you touch the keyboard.

Two trusted data sources

Lookups draw on AutoTrader and Vehicle Data Global, so you get reliable, dealer-grade vehicle data behind every listing.

Full specification

Trim, engine, fuel, transmission and key features come through automatically, so your listings are detailed and consistent.

Fewer mistakes

No manual typing means no spec typos — the detail buyers filter and search on is right from the very first vehicle.

Minutes saved per vehicle

Cut data entry from minutes to seconds on every vehicle, so getting new stock online is never the bottleneck.

No lookup? No problem

Touring caravans and trailers have no registration, and motorhomes are entered by hand because national records hold only the base vehicle — a form built for each keeps it quick.

One plan for every vehicle dealer. Everything included.

No packages, no tiers, no setup fee – every vehicle dealer gets everything, and pays only for the stock they carry.

Accurate stock, in a fraction of the time

The detail in a vehicle advert is what buyers filter and search on — and getting it wrong costs you views and trust. Number-plate lookup gets it right automatically.

From plate to published

Enter the registration and MotoVend retrieves the vehicle’s identity and specification, ready for you to add photos, set a price and publish. The data is consistent and complete, so your listings look professional from the very first one.

Backed by the right sources

Dealers publishing to AutoTrader get AutoTrader’s vehicle data; everyone else gets Vehicle Data Global (formerly UK Vehicle Data). Whether or not you advertise on AutoTrader, there is reliable vehicle data behind every listing.

Where details are entered by hand

Touring caravans and trailers have no number plate to look up, and for a motorhome the national records describe only the base vehicle — so you enter the make, model, layout and berths yourself. Everything else works exactly the same.
