Public vehicle data can assist client-detail checks or enquiry filtering, but the system must show where it came from and when it was retrieved.
Public vehicle data can assist client-detail checks or enquiry filtering, but the system must show where it came from and when it was retrieved. Data change, fields can be missing, and formats can change. Do not replace a required document or approval with an assumption based on lookup.
Retain query ID, retrieval time, fields used, and the decision derived from them. If a registration number is not found or data conflict, stop for representative review. Do not collect more information than needed for a quote or job opening, and do not expose it to staff without operational need.
The useful metric is how many discrepancies were found before work, not how many records were fetched. Responsible public-data use is quality control, not a guarantee of ownership, vehicle condition, or eligibility.
