InfoAgent warns you should only work with a NEVDIS-approved broker

The aftermarket runs on data. If you are supplying parts, remanufacturing, repairing, or building vehicle tech, the quality of the information you work with directly affects your margins, your compliance position, and your reputation.
InfoAgent says most people in the industry don’t realise how much of the vehicle data on the market is incomplete, unreliable, or legally non-compliant.
It explains that NEVDIS (the National Exchange of Vehicle and Driver Information System) is the authoritative dataset for Australian vehicle records.
NEVDIS consolidates official data from every state and territory road authority, including registrations, VINs, write-offs, stolen status, and more.
InfoAgent explains if you are verifying a VIN, confirming build and compliance dates, or checking a vehicle’s status before fitting parts or recommending repairs, this is where the real record sits.
It points out though, that there is a catch, in that NEVDIS doesn’t sell data directly to businesses. Access is only available through an authorised NEVDIS broker.
“Some data providers look official, but aren’t, they scrape or repackage third-party data that’s stale, incomplete, or missing key details,” InfoAgent Chief Executive Officer, Chris Knight, said.
“This a distinction which matters if you are sourcing parts based on VIN or build date, performing safety-critical repairs or upgrades, offering warranties or guarantees, running vehicle inspections for insurance or resale, or operating a B2B or consumer platform that displays vehicle data.
“Get the data wrong, and the consequences are real: wrong parts fitted, failed compliance checks, wasted time, damaged customer trust, and in worst-case scenarios, legal exposure.
“A NEVDIS-approved broker like InfoAgent gives you real-time access to the national vehicle data registry. No repackaging. No stale records.”
For aftermarket businesses, InfoAgent says working with a NEVDIS-approved broker offers the following benefits:
• Right part, first time: verify specs and VIN data upfront. Avoid returns, rework, and the downtime that comes with fixing what could have been checked in seconds.
• Faster service turnaround: confirm vehicle status, write-offs, stolen checks, and registration details before work begins.
• Customer confidence: verified data in your reports and communications does the trust-building for you.
• Compliance without the headache: meet legal requirements for inspections, resales, and repairs with data you can defend.
• Smarter digital platforms: power your inventory tools, quoting engines, and lookup interfaces with real-time, accurate data.
“If you are building or scaling any tech-enabled aftermarket service, whether that is an e-commerce parts store, workshop software, or a mobile inspection platform, NEVDIS is the layer that makes it work,” Chris said.
“InfoAgent is a NEVDIS-approved broker. We work like a partner, not a portal.
“We offer a modern API built for scale; bulk and real-time vehicle lookups; data enrichment with PPSR, valuations, and more; custom integration support; and Australian-based support from a team that knows the industry.
“We already work with automotive retailers, lenders, insurers, and software providers across Australia to power faster and more accurate vehicle workflows.
“If you’re not using a NEVDIS-approved broker yet, it is time to switch.”
