The most common questions, by topic.
The VIN is a car's unique identification code. In most cases it has 17 characters and contains information about the manufacturer, model and configuration. Certcar uses it to search for the available data about the vehicle's history.
The VIN can be found in the registration certificate, in the vehicle identity card or directly on the car, usually at the bottom of the windscreen, on the door pillar or in the engine bay.
Yes. To generate the report you only need the VIN. The car's registration number is not required.
Check that you have entered all 17 characters and that you have not mixed up letters and digits. For example, the digit “0” can be confused with the letter “O”. Some older vehicles may have VINs in a different format.
Yes. You can ask the seller for the VIN and generate the report before the viewing. This way you can spot potential damage, mileage inconsistencies or other important information in advance.
