What this dataset represents
LAI independently captured public retailer adverts on 31 October–1 November 2026. The supplied baseline contains 17 dealers and 1,316 records: 1,310 available, four reserved and two sold when captured. These baseline totals are historical; the inventory interface calculates its results from the stored records. Coverage is not guaranteed to be complete.
Capture time and availability
Each record retains its source capture timestamp. Import time, page modification time and calculation time are separate events and do not refresh stock evidence. Available at capture does not mean available today. An absent or inaccessible advert does not prove a completed sale. Confirm price, location and availability with the retailer before travelling.
Prices and comparison cohorts
These are advertised asking prices, not achieved sale prices. Displayed monetary summaries round to the nearest pound; source values and structured-data prices retain the supplied precision. Price ranges and medians use available-at-capture records with numeric prices. Reserved and sold records are excluded from those price cohorts. Model summaries require eight available-at-capture adverts; area summaries require two captured dealers.
London checks and unknowns
ULEZ checks use supplied fuel and Euro-standard data where available, or an explicitly labelled registration-date estimate. Verify the registration with TfL. Expensive Car Supplement checks use the supplied registration precision, fuel and original list price when present. A used asking price is not a substitute for original list price. Missing inputs remain unknown. The dated rules are evidence guidance, not confirmation of the vehicle’s licensing history or final tax liability.
Sources and relationships
Retailer-source links identify the source of the captured adverts. Research inclusion does not imply retailer participation, endorsement, a live feed or permission to use retailer images. No retailer photos are included by this plugin. Original source notes are retained in stored provenance; public wording is edited for clarity without changing the capture date or coverage caveats.
Discovery and indexing
Published vehicle records advertised as available at capture are eligible for indexing as dated historical evidence and included in the dedicated vehicle sitemap. Reserved, sold or incomplete records remain noindex. Indexing eligibility does not establish current availability. Directory and evidence summaries can support discovery where permitted. Readable HTML and structured data do not guarantee search indexing, AI citations or recommendations. No automatic live connection to ChatGPT is implied.
Enquiries and privacy
Local message preparation remains available. Where LAI has enabled enquiry capture, a separate consent form stores a private enquiry for LAI review. Dealer forwarding requires an administrator-verified recipient and buyer permission. Mail transport acceptance is not delivery confirmation. Appointments and sales are recorded only with supporting evidence; no automatic dealer CRM connection is implied.
Changes and limitations
There is no verified comparable second full observation for trend analysis. Location groups reflect dealer labels and postcodes rather than borough boundaries. Registration years are not model years. Unknown vehicle details, list prices, battery health and licence history are not invented.
