Vehicle Identity

If you’re running an application that deals with used cars you’ll know that requiring your user to identify a vehicle using a series of filters or dropdowns is a problem.

Many car owners simply don’t know what specific model their car is. This can lead to a ‘best guess’ selection that damages your conversion rate or causes friction in the user journey that leads to a higher rate of user abandonment.

The MotorSpecs Identity API service solves this problem. It gives you the ability to power your application with a powerful VRM lookup service that identifies a vehicle by its registration number.

With our Identity API you can access over 100 fields of information including Make, Model, CC, Fuel Type, Body Style, Date of Registration and Colour.
