Limitations

You are only able to search for a vehicle once it is present on our service. If you receive the error below this means we are not yet aware of the listing due to its recency.

{
  "error": true,
  "message": "Vehicle via marketplace drive.com.au/969515013 not found in database"
}

In this scenario, we recommend falling back to a test lookup using the title in its most descriptive format. E.g 2024 Nissan X-TRAIL Ti Wagon Ti 2.5L SUV 4WD. Refer to the text searching guide here.
