With the Future Valuations capability on Auto Trader Connect, you can access market average vehicle valuations for up to six years in the future.
Here's a full list of the functionality:
- View future valuation
View future valuation
Using the Future Valuations API, you can see Auto Trader’s projected valuations for a vehicle.
To access these valuations, you will need to send a POST request with the following data:
- The future date you want a valuation for
- The vehicle’s derivative ID
- The vehicle’s first registration date
- The estimated mileage of the vehicle on the date you are requesting valuations for
The future date provided must be no more than six years in the future, and should be less than 15 years from the first registration date of the vehicle.
If available, this will return trade and retail valuations for the requested data. If we do not have future valuations for the requested data, we will return null values.
Valuations returned by the Future Valuations API will be market averages and can’t be adjusted for the vehicle’s condition or features.
