What’s changed?

The used-car market continues to evolve rapidly – driven by digitalisation, live retail data, and changing consumer behaviour.
To keep your valuation data fully aligned with real market performance, we introduced enhancements to the AutovistaSPOT API on 1 December 2025.

Retail values are now based on retail transacted data, ensuring that when live data isn’t available, valuations still reflect what vehicles are actually selling for in the market.

Your Live Retail capability remains unchanged, continuing to provide live competitor pricing and market visibility – a key advantage in staying ahead of the competition.

Key updates

• Retail values now align with retail transacted values, creating consistency across all Autovista valuation products.
• Live Retail remains unchanged, reflecting real-time market movements as before.
• This was a methodological enhancement – no system or process changes were required.

What this means for you

• Consistent valuations – your retail and live retail data now use the same market-aligned foundation.
• Better accuracy – your values reflect real sale prices when live data isn’t available.
• Seamless experience – no changes to workflows or integrations.

Why this matters

This alignment ensures all Autovista valuation products – including SPOT API – speak the same “data language.”
It strengthens consistency across the product suite while preserving Live Retail as your most dynamic source of real-time market pricing.

The result: decisions made using SPOT API are based on the most reliable, representative data available, whether live or transacted.

Looking ahead

This enhancement reinforces the connection between AutovistaSPOT API and our wider valuation ecosystem, ensuring your data remains consistent, accurate, and easy to interpret across platforms.
We’ll continue refining our methodology to support faster, more confident market decisions.
