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 extracts 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 serves it without you building a scraper.

What is Motors.co.uk?

Motors.co.uk is a UK car portal and dealer-marketplace network, owned by NY private-equity firm O3 Industries and Frankfurt’s Novum Capital. It carries used and new cars from a network of dealers. In June 2024 it acquired the Cazoo brand, relaunching cazoo.co.uk as a dealer marketplace in April 2025 — making Motors.co.uk a consolidating challenger to AutoTrader UK.

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.

Data Fields Available

Carapis extracts a structured record from each Motors.co.uk listing:

• Vehicle identity — make, model, trim, model year
• Specification — fuel type, transmission, spec details
• Condition — mileage
• Pricing — listed price
• Listing context — dealer info, location, photo gallery

Motors.co.uk’s dealer-network focus means its listings are well-structured and spec-complete, ideal for UK dealer-market pricing analysis.
