External listings save sellers time
Motavo allows a seller to reference a vehicle advert that already exists on their own website. That avoids entering the same information from scratch and gives buyers another way to discover the vehicle while keeping the original source available.
Availability changes after a car sells
The challenge with any external listing is keeping it current. Once the vehicle sells, the original page may be removed, return a not-found response or display wording that indicates the car is no longer available.
Motavo checks in the background
Our availability checker reviews external source pages on a controlled schedule rather than every time a buyer opens a Motavo page. This keeps the browsing experience fast and avoids placing unnecessary load on either website.
One failed request does not automatically mean sold
Websites can temporarily time out, block automated requests or return errors. Motavo therefore treats temporary technical failures differently from a confirmed unavailable advert. A missing page can be rechecked before the vehicle is automatically marked sold, while uncertain results can be flagged for review.
Better stock for buyers, less admin for sellers
The aim is simple: buyers should spend less time opening adverts for cars that are no longer available, while sellers should not have to update the same vehicle in several places every time its status changes.
