A new data partnership between EMaC and cap hpi will help dealers to identify mileage discrepancies by utilising the National Mileage Check and National Mileage Investigation Service.

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.

EMaC is a leading provider and administrator of service plans, offering customer retention solutions to over 500 dealers and 21 OEMs.

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.”

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. An NMR investigation uses data from over 20 industry sources to confirm a vehicle’s mileage history.

Developed in partnership with Trading Standards, the new NMR investigation service compares a vehicle’s current mileage reading against the National Mileage Register database. Based on the data held for that vehicle, it verifies that the recorded mileage reflects the true distance travelled.
The new process streamlines efficiency for dealers, saving time and money by leveraging over 500 million records from various industry sources for rigorous vehicle investigations. Instant certificates are issued for cases without discrepancies, while flagged issues trigger immediate alerts and a thorough investigation by an expanded team of 15 operatives.

Commenting on the move, James McCarthy, sales manager, key accounts, at cap hpi, said: “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.”
