Motors.co.uk Data Parser & API
Motors.co.uk is a UK dealer-marketplace network — owned by O3 Industries and Novum Capital, and now also the home of the Cazoo brand — and Carapis can extract its full dealer listing data through one REST API. As a fast-consolidating AutoTrader challenger, Motors.co.uk carries a large UK dealer inventory, and Carapis can serve it without you building a scraper.
On request — not in the live feed today. We do not continuously crawl Motors.co.uk right now. Activation takes 2–3 weeks of engineering and is quoted per source, because each one ships with dedicated proxies, anti-bot tuning and ongoing maintenance. Ask us to add it.

Market Position
Motors.co.uk is a growing UK dealer-marketplace network and a challenger to AutoTrader UK, backed by O3 Industries and Novum Capital. Its 2024 acquisition of the Cazoo brand (relaunched as a dealer marketplace in April 2025) expanded its footprint, consolidating two UK auto brands under one owner. It carries a large UK dealer inventory, making it a useful structured source for the UK dealer market alongside AutoTrader.
What the API returns
Response schema
Indicative — this is the shape, not a guarantee. Every source returns the same structure, so what you build against does not change when you add one. Which fields carry a value depends on the source and on the individual listing: a site that does not publish mileage returns null there, and Motors.co.uk is no exception.
List — GET /apix/api/vehicles/ — returns 30 fields per vehicle:
