Vehicle clocking tackled by EMaC and cap hpi data deal
EMaC and cap hpi have announced a new data partnership to tackle rising issue of vehicle clocking in the used car market.
Clocking is when the mileage of used cars is adjusted to raise the vehicle’s resell value.
The new partnership will help dealers identify mileage discrepancies by utilising the National Mileage Check and National Mileage Investigation Service. The National Mileage Register (NMR) investigation process was recently relaunched to provide faster service to dealers. When an HPI Check has identified a potential vehicle mileage issue, the service provides a detailed investigation based on data from over 20 industry sources to confirm a vehicle’s mileage history.
EMaC mileage data points will be used to assist in the validation of vehicle mileages by comparing data held within the cap hpi database from various industry sources against the mileage presented by a consumer, dealer or other interested party.
Liam Finney, commercial director at EMaC, said:
“Both cap hpi and EMaC share a passion for helping dealers operate more efficiently. Our new data partnership will help check vehicles with mileage issues with greater accuracy and speed. Ultimately, this will allow dealers to buy and sell vehicles more safely and boost profitability.”
James McCarthy, sales manager, key accounts, at cap hpi, added:
“Our new data partnership with EMaC is the latest investment in our data platform to ensure it provides an accurate and timely picture of a vehicle’s mileage and history. We are committed to working with industry-leading partners, like EMaC, to ensure we can continually enhance the data and services we provide to the automotive industry.”
