Vehicle Specification Data
Benchmark VRM linked to Jato Data
Benchmark Automotive has linked its vehicle table for Ireland to its partner, JATO Dynamics’ market leading specification database. This means that over 250 items of standard specification as well as a host of other technical details can be retrieved directly from the original brochure record for every car registered new in Ireland since 1996.
To get an idea of the detail available we suggest you visit the MotorSpecs a new service launched recently for the UK market which provides detailed specifications, optional equipment, valuation and running cost data for any passenger vehicle registered in the UK. Here you will find a search engine built on the Jato Dataset for all vehicles currently available in the UK market and serves as a useful demonstration of the historical data available.
Our highly advanced API can have the data you require up and running for your use in a matter of hours.

Case Study:
MotorSpecs
The first major commercial usage of this data the in UK or Ireland is the online Car Specifications website MotorSpecs.
Simply enter a reg on the website and a report is compiled on the vehicle showing the original manufacturer spec and options as well as a detailed valuation and running costs, unlike anything seen on any other website.
Consumers and Trade Users alike love MotorSpecs because of the ease of use and presentation of the data and most crucially, due to the remarkably high level of vehicle information available to them via the website, trade platform or API.
The days of receiving generic information on vehicle specifications and optional extras are gone – with MotorSpecs customers receive accurate and specific data by reg, helping them to make a fully informed decision about the car"
