How to check a car

An online check does not replace an inspection, but it filters out problem cars before the trip.

1Check the car onlinePaste a VIN, plate or listing link — before you even call the seller you see whether it is worth a viewing.
2Match the VINThe VIN in the documents, on the body and under the windscreen must match. A mismatch is a reason to walk away.
3Inspect it in personBody, paint, interior, engine and suspension — ideally with a mechanic. Compare the odometer with the mileage norm from the report.
4Discuss the price with numbersWhere the price sits among similar cars — an argument in the price talk, not a feeling.

Questions and answers

How do I check a car before buying it?

Start with an online check by VIN, plate or listing link: registrations and owners, wanted status, mileage and price versus the market. Then match the VIN in the documents and on the body, and inspect the car in person — ideally with a mechanic.

Can I check a car for free?

Yes. The quick check — car identification, registry data and the model's market price — is free. A full report on a specific car costs 99 UAH (≈ $2.18).

How do I check a car by plate?

Enter the plate in the field above. We identify the make, model, year and VIN and show registrations from official sources — if the car is in the registry.

How do I check whether a car is wanted?

Enter the VIN or plate. The free report shows that the check was done and when; the result is in the full report, before the deal.

How do I find out the real mileage?

The report compares mileage with the norm for the model year, and the full report shows mileage records from listings over time. Mileage that «dropped» between records is a sign of rollback.

Can I check a car imported from the US?

Yes, by VIN: Copart / IAAI auction lots, recorded damage and bids — if the car was sold at auction.

What does the full report include?

The car history with mileage by date, the wanted check result, accidents with photos, US auctions with photos and the import cost, risks and a conclusion. What is included depends on the car.

Do I need to sign up?

No. Neither the quick check nor the full report requires an account. With an account every check is saved in your dashboard.
