Check a chassis number

A simple, transparent process

The process is designed to reduce purchase risk, not to guarantee complete records for every vehicle. You provide a chassis or frame number, we check available data, you review the next step, and you request a report if it is useful — or use manual review when instant data is not available. Limitations are shown before payment, never hidden until after.

The four main steps

Each step is clear, and you always know whether data was found before you pay.

01

1. Submit the identifier

Enter the chassis or frame number. Add context like make, model, and year for a manual check.

02

2. Check availability

We check for an instant match, partial data, or no match, and show you which outcome applies.

03

3. Choose report or manual

If a report is available, continue to payment. If not, request Manual Search for €50.

04

4. Receive interpretation

The report is delivered by email and explains the sheet in plain language.

What happens if no record is found

A “not found” result means no accessible instant record was located — it does not prove that no auction history exists. Manual Search (€50) lets our team review available auction and source records by hand. It does not guarantee a record exists, but it keeps difficult cases moving instead of ending at a dead end.

How to use the report before buying

Compare the report against the seller’s claims: does the grade match the described condition, does the mileage line up, and do the comments mention repairs or damage the seller did not disclose? Use it as part of your decision — a report reduces risk but is not a mechanical inspection.

Common questions

What information do I need to start?

A chassis or frame number is enough to start a lookup. For a manual check, make, model, approximate year, and any listing or sheet image help us review the case.

What happens after I submit a chassis number?

We check available records and show whether there is an instant match, partial data, or no match, so you know the outcome before deciding to pay.

Do I pay before knowing whether data may be available?

No. You see whether a report was found first. Payment applies when you choose to continue with a found report or request a manual check.

What happens if only partial data is found?

Partial data is not a full verification. In that case, Manual Search (€50) or sending more vehicle details usually gives a clearer result.

How does manual review work?

Our team reviews available auction and source records by hand for cases with no instant match, partial data, or an unclear result. Timing depends on the case.

How should I use the report before buying?

Compare it with the seller’s claims — grade, mileage, and comments — and treat it as risk reduction, not a guarantee of current condition.
