MotorCheck
Overview
The MotorCheck integration allows you to enrich Feathery form submissions with real-time vehicle data to support more accurate underwriting and decision-making. By connecting to MotorCheck’s API, you can automatically retrieve critical vehicle attributes such as ownership history, accident and write-off status, ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) features, taxi usage flags, and more—directly within your onboarding or verification flows. This integration is ideal for insurance carriers, brokers, lenders, and fleet managers who require trusted third-party vehicle data to automate risk assessment, underwriting, and quoting processes.
What You Need
- A Feathery account
- An active MotorCheck subscription with API access
Background
MotorCheck is a leading provider of vehicle provenance and valuation data across the UK and Ireland. Their API connects to official government and private sources, including the DVLA, to offer comprehensive data on vehicle history, registration details, accident records, valuation trends, and fraud indicators. With Feathery, users can pull this data dynamically using registration numbers or VINs submitted in forms, enabling advanced workflows for quoting, claims processing, and asset evaluation.
Benefits
Integrating MotorCheck with Feathery enables:
- Enhanced Risk Assessment: Retrieve data on past ownership, write-offs, and mileage anomalies to support underwriting models.
- ADAS Feature Detection: Identify safety and automation features (e.g. lane assist, cruise control) to optimize premium pricing and risk categorization.
- Taxi & Commercial Use Detection: Automatically flag vehicles that have been registered as taxis or for commercial use, allowing for higher-risk filtering or custom workflows.
- Real-Time Quoting: Populate quote engines instantly with verified vehicle details and ABI codes to reduce friction and increase accuracy.
- Claims & Fraud Indicators: Detect signs of possible fraud, such as recent resale listings or repeated price drops, through MotorCheck’s indexed ad history.
- Compliance Automation: Leverage validated government data to automate KYC, tax status, and ownership checks.

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the
"When inside of" nested selector
system.
