Netherlands car history check by VIN.

What to do: Ask for written explanations and invoices. Without them, don't buy the car.

What the report can show for a car from the Netherlands.

What to check on the car.

The report shows the car's past. At the viewing you confirm its current condition, with three checks suited to cars from the Netherlands.

  1. Check 1

    The battery, on electric cars and hybrids

    The Netherlands has many used electric cars and hybrids. Book a battery test at a garage that works with that make, before the deposit.

  2. Check 2

    High-mileage wear

    Many cars come off lease contracts with high mileage. Check the clutch or automatic gearbox, the suspension, the driver's seat and the steering wheel.

  3. Check 3

    Body and paint

    Measure the paint thickness on every panel and put the car on a lift at an independent garage. Paint differences show where work was done.

Questions about cars from the Netherlands.
Short answers for anyone buying a car from there.
Yes. You find the VIN in field E of the Dutch registration certificate and on the car at the base of the windscreen. You see which car it is for free and only pay for the full report if you want it.
No. You ask the seller for the NAP verdict and the Dutch papers. The report shows the records we find for the VIN: mileage readings from several countries, services, a check in stolen vehicle databases and earlier listings.
Not for the car's whole life. NAP only judges readings taken in the Netherlands. The mileage could be changed before the car got there or after it left, and that's where the report's chart helps.
We can't promise damage records from the Netherlands. Damage may appear from several countries the car has been through, where claims exist. For the Dutch years, a bodywork inspection at a garage remains the basic check.
No. It means we found no record. A repair paid for directly at a garage may not appear anywhere.
The VIN stays the same, so the history found is kept. After registration in Romania, the report can also show the ITP inspection and mileage readings from the Romanian vehicle register.
