Vehicle Valuation (Deprecated)

This section outlines how to retrieve vehicle valuation information from Trade Me for vehicles with a prior MVR transaction (e.g., VIR, BVI, ChassisCheck, or Motochek).

TradeMe Valuation

Note that this valuation is depricated and we recommend that you utilise MotorWeb's new Valuation service.

Return Trade Me Valuation information for the given vehicle.

Current version: 1.0 Example URL: https://robot.motorweb.co.nz/b2b/tradeMeValuation/generate/4.0?plateOrVin=NWJ504&clientReference=CLIENT_REF123&odometer=99000

Four values will be returned:

  • Low

  • Average

  • High

  • RRP (if 3 years or newer)

Trade Me valuation is only available for vehicles with a MVR transaction (VIR, BVI, ChassisCheck and Motochek) already done. Use one of the following parameters to specify the vehicle to perform the Trade Me Valuation on:

  • vehicleId : Retrieves the vehicle with this ID (most probably this ID will have been retrieved from a previous transaction).

  • stockNumber : Retrieves the vehicle with this stock number. In the possible (but unlikely) case where multiple vehicles have the same stock number the vehicle that most recently had a transaction performed against it will be used.

  • plate, or vin, or plateOrVin: Either a registration plate number (6 or less characters) or a VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) of exactly 17 characters. A new vehicle will be created in the MotorWeb system linked to the report generated.

  • CLIENT_REF: Required field

  • odometer: optional field allowing for the current mileage to be used in assessing the valuation, otherwise last known mileage will be used (from last WoF)

This transaction has additional error codes:

MotorWeb-Error-Code
