Download vehicle and MOT history data
The /v1/trade/vehicles/bulk-download endpoint allows you to download a bulk file and a series of delta files. The files contain vehicle and MOT history data for vehicles registered in Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
New files are available from 8am.
| File type | Description |
|---|---|
| Bulk | The bulk file is generated every Sunday. It gives a complete snapshot of the data. |
| Delta | The delta files are generated daily and contain data for the past 24 hours. For example, Tuesday’s file will contain MOT tests completed on Monday. They keep the data current without need to download the bulk file again. |
For example, if you call the API endpoint on a Wednesday, you will be sent 5 URLs. There will be:
- 1 URL for the bulk file generated the previous Sunday
- 4 URLs for the delta files generated on the Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
Data sources
