Speed up vehicle lotting with BidHarvest® numberplate DVLA lookup. Instantly retrieve verified details including make, model,year, engine size, and emissions by simply entering the vehicle registrationnumber. Ensures consistency, saves admin time, and reduces data entry errorsfor car, van and lorry auctions.

For any auctioneer dealing in vehicles, checking a lot’s background is non-negotiable. Whether you’re selling to trade, fleet buyers or retail customers, you need to confirm the vehicle isn’t subject to outstanding finance, hasn’t been written off, and is exactly what it claims to be.

With built-in HPI vehicle checks, BidHarvest® delivers all this — automatically.

Listing vehicles for auction often means chasing missing specs, guessing condition descriptions, and manually marking damage across dozens or even hundreds of lots. That’s slow, error-prone, and frustrating for both admin teams and buyers.

With the Vehicle Splat Tool in BidHarvest®, that’s all changed.

Our interactive damage reporting tool combines real-time vehicle data retrieval, QR-linked inventory, and visual condition mapping — making your vehicle listings faster to build, easier to audit, and clearer for bidders.

Extendable attributes are custom fields linked to yourauction categories and sub-categories, enabling precise filtering and structured data output. Unlike traditional systems that require developer support, BidHarvest® gives you full control via our intuitive AttributeManager, no coding, no delays.
