This is great. Years ago I did something similar in the US market, but since there isn't a centralized tracking authority, I resorted to grouping cars by drivetrain and scraping Craigslist/Autotrader as a proxy for mileage. Any chance of having a browse by make/model/trim option instead of just registration?

I am actually currently working on exactly this. It will allow you to view the statistics for make/model/engine/ year etc. Unfortunately I have found it more challenging to make an accurate AI model without the MOT history though, as the MOT history gives a reasonably complete picture of the cars life. So far I have found the averages to be the best predictor when just using a cars make, model, current miles and age, as opposed to any AI model. I have a few ideas left to try though to attempt to improve it!
