"The automotive industry is undoubtedly flaring up with some awesome tech innovations, but there is still one sector to tackle: vehicle history checks, a ghost sector that lies in the shadows of the automotive industry and hides from any overt advertisement.
Worth over £500 million in the U.K. alone, these behemoths charge prospective car owners between £3 – £20 for you to check the history behind a vehicle. Information that should really be publicly accessible. Unfortunately our government has not yet given free public access to this data, instead deciding to charge £90,000 per year for access, adding a significant barrier to entry for most startups."
