Could you build this?
No European vehicle registry, recall, and theft records are heavily fragmented across sovereign government databases and require regulated enterprise data vendor access.
What it would actually take: Requires commercial B2B contracts with specialized automotive data brokers across multiple EU countries (e.g., DVLA in the UK, SIV in France, KBA in Germany), passing strict GDPR and data licensing compliance. Technically, it integrates these REST/SOAP APIs into an aggregation backend with an LLM scoring layer for the buying advice.
