1. A system for monitoring a vehicle comprising:
- a computer system having a processor that supports operation of a software application;
a data storage module, including information in a plurality of vehicle data records, in communication with the computer system;
a vehicle data predictions module, configured to generate predicted information by predicting changes in the information in the plurality of vehicle data records for a specified time;
a filter module comprising;
a first filter for extracting relevant vehicle-related data from the data storage module'"'"'s plurality of vehicle data records;
a second filter for assigning values to the relevant vehicle-related data and the predicted information; and
a third filter for modifying the assigned values of at least a portion of the relevant vehicle-related data and at least a portion of the predicted information each in accordance with an associated weighting factor into weighted values,wherein the filter module is further configured to generate a predicted score using the first, second, and third filters and using the relevant vehicle-related data and the predicted information; and
an output module for reporting the predicted score to a user;
wherein the computer system is configured to receive a vehicle identifier and to communicate the vehicle identifier to the filter module, and wherein the first filter bases its extraction of relevant data on at least the vehicle identifier.

Abstract
One embodiment of the system and method described herein provides a vehicle monitoring system that gathers reported data on a selected vehicle and alerts a user to selected events reported for that vehicle. In an embodiment, vehicle attributes are processed into a score for the vehicle, such as representing the likely life remaining, and changes in a score trigger alerts to the user.
