Arnold Clark is integrating Solera Cap HPI damage history data into its retail and remarketing operations as part of a renewed three-year partnership.
It says it will help it continue to give confidence to its customers, improve efficiency and strengthen due diligence for its used car sales.
The AM100 dealer group has extended its long-standing agreement with Solera Cap HPI, covering valuations, HPI provenance checks and used vehicle market intelligence.
The renewal also includes Solera Cap HPI’s latest incident history data, which will be used across Arnold Clark and Central Car Auctions.
Damage data added
The incident history data will be integrated into Arnold Clark’s systems, including the group’s Invent auction management platform which supplies used cars to trade buyers.
The move will allow buyers to identify previously unrecorded damage events earlier in the vehicle appraisal process.
Arnold Clark will also continue to use its bespoke Arnold Clark Approved Check, developed with Solera cap hpi, to carry out due diligence on vehicles before retail.
The check includes mileage investigation data to provide additional reassurance for customers.
Used car risk reduced
The renewed agreement gives Arnold Clark continued access to Cap HPI valuations and HPI provenance checks, alongside the Daily Movement Report, which provides intelligence on used vehicle value movements.
The dealer group said the data supports vehicle acquisition, pricing decisions, operational efficiency and profitability across its retail and remarketing businesses.
Stuart Thorpe, company secretary at Arnold Clark, said: “Our relationship with Solera Cap HPI has been built over many years because its data consistently helps us make better commercial decisions. Reliable valuation and provenance information are fundamental to how we buy, manage and retail vehicles.
“Renewing for a further three years reflects the confidence we have in both the quality of the data and the partnership behind it. The continued development of services such as Incident History, together with the integration into our own systems, will help us improve efficiency, strengthen due diligence and continue delivering confidence for our customers.”
Solera Cap HPI said the agreement builds on its wider investment in vehicle provenance data, helping dealers make more informed purchasing decisions and reduce risk across the used vehicle lifecycle.
Wendy Swaine, head of strategic relationships at Solera Cap HPI, said: “Arnold Clark is one of the UK’s most respected automotive retailers, so extending our partnership is something we’re incredibly proud of. Long-term relationships are built on trust, consistency and a shared commitment to continual improvement.
“The business continues to evolve how it uses data across retail and remarketing, from valuation insight through the Daily Movement Report to integrating our latest Incident History intelligence into its own platforms. That demonstrates how high-quality automotive data can support better decisions, reduce risk and improve profitability throughout the vehicle lifecycle.”
The agreement comes as dealer groups place increasing emphasis on data quality, vehicle provenance and integrated workflows to protect used car margins and improve consumer confidence.
