Cartell API

Irish Registration Lookup, Valuations & Car History Checks

One Auto API provides access to Cartell's Irish vehicle history, registration lookups and valuation data through a single API, alongside data from other vehicle-data providers.

About Cartell

Cartell provides vehicle data for businesses operating in Ireland. Its services help organisations identify vehicles from an Irish registration number, assess their value and investigate their history. These are essential steps in journeys ranging from a dealer’s part-exchange appraisal to a consumer vehicle check or an insurance quotation.

One Auto API provides access to Cartell vehicle identification, valuation and history services through our API platform. Dealers, software providers, marketplaces and other businesses can use that data within their existing applications and combine it with information from other providers through a single integration.

Identify Irish vehicles from a registration

An Irish registration lookup can turn a number plate into useful vehicle information without asking a customer or employee to enter every detail manually. Cartell registration data can return identifying fields such as make, model, description, engine information and date of first registration, along with other available vehicle details.

For dealers, this can speed up stock creation, part-exchange appraisals and online buying forms. A customer enters their registration and the system populates a vehicle profile that can be checked before the journey continues. Software providers can use the same process to reduce manual entry across dealer management systems, customer portals and internal workflows.

The applications extend well beyond buying and selling cars. An automotive locksmith may use registration data to establish a vehicle’s identity before confirming the information needed to assess a job. An insurer can populate vehicle details at the start of a quotation, helping the customer move through the form with fewer questions and giving the business a more consistent record to assess. Parts, servicing, fleet and finance journeys can also begin with an accurate registration lookup.

The data returned and any additional checks required will depend on the task. A registration result provides a reliable starting point for identifying a vehicle; specialist decisions, such as confirming a particular component or underwriting a vehicle policy, may need further information.

Value vehicles for the Irish market

When a business is buying, selling or financing a vehicle in Ireland, a valuation needs to reflect the local market. Cartell Price Guide (CPG) provides trusted valuations for Irish cars and light commercial vehicles using a registration lookup and relevant vehicle attributes.

A dealer can use the data when assessing a trade-in, setting a purchase offer or reviewing a proposed retail price. A vehicle buying platform can incorporate a valuation into an online customer journey before arranging a physical appraisal. Finance and insurance businesses can use market value as one input when assessing the vehicle involved in an application or claim.

Making valuations available through an API allows these decisions to happen within the systems teams already use. It also gives software providers a way to build Irish market pricing into products designed for multiple business customers.

Understand a vehicle’s history

Identifying a vehicle and establishing its likely value do not answer every question a buyer needs to ask. Cartell vehicle history checks help businesses investigate recorded issues that may affect a purchase or valuation, including outstanding finance, theft, insurance write-offs and mileage discrepancies where information is available.

For a dealer acquiring stock, a history check can reveal concerns before the business commits to the vehicle. For a consumer marketplace, it can help present buyers with a fuller picture before they make a decision. Finance providers can use history information alongside identification and valuation data when reviewing the asset connected to an agreement.

A history result should be considered in conjunction with the vehicle’s documentation and a physical inspection. Bringing these checks into a workflow makes it easier to identify matters that need investigation and to record the information considered during the decision.

Cover vehicles imported from the UK

UK imports create an additional challenge for Irish businesses: part of the vehicle’s life may have taken place before it received an Irish registration. Checking only its Irish record may leave questions about that earlier period unanswered.

One Auto API helps businesses combine Cartell data services with Experian AutoCheck and other UK provenance sources where the vehicle is identified as a UK import. This allows a dealer, or platform to investigate relevant history from both countries within a connected workflow. UK checks may add insight into matters such as recorded finance, theft, insurance or salvage history, depending on the data available for the vehicle.

For businesses handling both Irish vehicles and UK imports, this joined-up approach supports more complete appraisals and more informative reports for buyers. It also reduces the need to build and maintain separate integrations for each data provider.

Whether you need a registration lookup for a quotation, Irish market valuations for a buying platform or history checks for imported stock, One Auto API brings Cartell data together with complementary data services through a single API.
