[LightBulbFun]

out of curiosity whats the thing you use to get the vehicle data?

 

would be interesting to shove some invacars into it and see if any report number of previous owners 

[adw1977]

I use carsireland.ie to get the number of owners (start a new for sale listing).

 

To get the date of the last keeper change, start an insurance quote with Sure Thing Insurance.

 

Neither of these is infallible, but will give the info in most cases.
