Vehicle report turns one: Disrupting used car buying for over 42,000 UAE drivers and counting
A year ago, purchasing a used car in the GCC often meant navigating limited information and a lack of transparency. In response, AutoData Middle East launched Vehicle Report - an AI-powered platform designed to place greater control in the hands of consumers. Over the past 12 months, more than 42,000 users have turned to the service to access verified data on ownership, accident history, valuation, and more. Daily usage has tripled between July 2024 and March 2025, with over 5,000 users now engaging each month. Of those, 84% reported no post-purchase issues, underscoring the platform's role in reducing buyer risk and building confidence through accurate, accessible insight. Empowering Informed, Efficient Car Buying Vehicle Report stands out by turning fragmented automotive data into clear, actionable insight. Built around real consumer needs, the platform supports smarter, safer, and faster decision-making throughout the used car journey, before committing: Save Money: Compare loan and insurance offers side by side, with market-aligned valuations to avoid overpaying. Buy Smart: Access a car's full history, including accidents and ownership lineage, maintenance data, pre-purchase inspection insights and service records, with a single Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) lookup. Save Time: Instantly aggregating listings, while filtering and forecasting in real-time from multiple sales portals, streamlining the car-buying process. As the UAE's used car market continues to grow, residual value performance remains a crucial indicator of vehicle quality and long-term value. In Q2 2025, data from AutoData shows that family-friendly vehicles such as the Kia Carens LX continue to hold strong residual value (78% after 3 years), thanks to a balance of affordability, spacious design, and efficient ownership costs. Within the SUV category, the Toyota Land Cruiser GXR was recognised as the best-value model (81% after 3 years), combining robust specification levels with competitive market pricing and favourable depreciation profiles. What's next for AutoData As Vehicle Report continues to gain momentum across the region, AutoData Middle East is expanding its suite of tools to support smarter decisions for both consumers and industry partners. 'Our mission has always been to bring clarity and confidence to the automotive ecosystem,' said Sebastian Fuchs, Managing Director of AutoData Middle East. 'With advanced AI at its core, Vehicle Report delivers real-time, market-specific pricing and risk analysis - helping buyers save up to 25% on average. More than a history check, it's a decision-making engine that unifies pricing, ownership, and insurance data to transform how used cars are bought and sold. As we grow, we're focused on deeper integrations with insurers, banks, and marketplaces, and on launching tools like AutoMagic and Claim Hub to further streamline the process. We're proud to be raising the bar for transparency and intelligence in automotive transactions.' With AI-powered technology, trust, and transparency at its core, Vehicle Report is redefining how the UAE buys and sells used cars. Now entering its second year, it's more than just a report - it's a smart ecosystem built to empower better decisions, from valuation to insurance to ownership.
