Why Build Your Car History Product on InfoAgent?
Building a car history report product means aggregating data from multiple government and industry sources, keeping it current, handling edge cases, and maintaining the integrations over time. That’s a significant engineering and operational investment.
InfoAgent does that work for you. Here’s what that means in practice:
What You Get

Differentiate Your Report
Most car history reports cover the basics: stolen, written-off, PPSR, registration. InfoAgent lets you go further.
Because we offer a broad and growing catalogue of vehicle data products, you can enrich your report with data points that most competitors don’t have:
-
EV & charging data - increasingly important as electric vehicles enter the used market
-
OEM warranty status and service intervals
-
OEM paint codes - valuable for buyers concerned about previous respray or panel work
-
Valuation data - current and residual value to help buyers assess whether the price is fair
All of these are available through the same API, and can be added to your report as your product evolves - no new integrations required.

Adding new data to reports
Manage separate integrations with NEVDIS, PPSR, and multiple spec providers. Each has different formats, latency, and support models.
Buyer clicks “check history”. Your system assembles data from 3–4 sources. Slow response. Incomplete results if one source is down.
Dealer manually runs separate stolen, PPSR, and write-off checks across multiple portals. Takes 10–15 minutes per vehicle.
Want to add ADAS or EV data? That’s a new vendor, a new integration, and months of development.
One API returns stolen, write-off, PPSR, identity, specs, ADAS, EV, warranty, and valuation data. One integration to build and maintain.
Buyer clicks “check history”. InfoAgent returns a complete risk and identity profile in < 300ms. Consistent format every time.
One rego lookup returns the full picture. Dealer has a comprehensive check in seconds, branded under your product.
ADAS, EV, warranty, and paint codes are already available in the same API. Switch them on - no new integration.
