Motordepot offers free vehicle history data
Motordepot is introducing what it calls an industry first by featuring free vehicle history data alongside dealer stock advertised online.
The move marks a radical new approach to the provision of provenance information to consumers and is a direct result of a new collaboration with trade-only vehicle check provider, MotorCheck and automotive software specialist, Nexus Point.
The partnership with Motordepot sees MotorCheck become the first automotive provenance provider to allow dealers to digitally republish the results of the history check they bought from MotorCheck on their own website, saving buyers £24.99 for a similar paid for history check.
Prospective buyers viewing any of Motordepot’s 3,000 used cars online can now confirm that the vehicle has been checked for insurance write-off flags, stolen markers and mileage discrepancies. The check also confirms that the vehicle has not been scrapped or had a colour change, as well as information on previous keepers, plate changes and MOT and tax status. Buyers can also instantly print out the free MotorCheck Report, as featured on Motordepot, for ease of reference.
Phil Wilkinson, CEO at Motordepot said, ‘This new integration between MotorCheck and Nexus Point (who power our website) hasn’t introduced any new costs and is certainly improving the experience for our customers online.’
Shane Teskey, co-founder of MotorCheck added, ‘This new provenance check model, powered by Nexus Point, brings greater transparency to used car buying, providing the fullest possible picture of a vehicle’s history and increases the trust between a buyer and seller, ultimately delivering a boost in sales opportunities as car buyers know they can shop with complete confidence.’
Chris Webb, managing director of Nexus Point said, ‘We are delighted to be part of this new venture that not only brings to market a ‘first’ for dealers, but adds real value to the Motordepot proposition for used car buyers. We anticipate that this approach, which makes vehicle history data more accessible to the wider public, will be a ‘must have’ for all retailer classified listings in the future. This project is just the beginning of a working partnership between MotorCheck and Nexus Point which harnesses automotive data and technology to bring innovative solutions to daily business practices.’
