Inspection

Valid

The ITP inspection and mileage readings from the Romanian vehicle register appear only for cars registered in Romania.

A Dacia from Romania or imported.

The Certcar report brings the history recorded in Romania and other countries into one timeline: inspections, damage, mileage and services.

ITP inspection and mileage from the Romanian vehicle register

The inspection dates and the mileage noted at each. They appear only for cars registered in Romania.

Damage in Romania

Romanian damage claims, with the affected areas and an estimated cost range.

Mileage pace

The readings over the years, on a chart. A drop against an older reading is flagged.

An imported Dacia? The report also searches for damage from other countries and services abroad, when they exist. The Romanian ITP inspection only appears after registration in Romania.

How the inspection looks in the report

The real section from the report, with example data. On a Dacia it looks the same: when the last inspection was done and how long it is valid.

Legal status check

Is it road-legal? We check the ITP validity and whether the vehicle has been struck off.

Data available

Note

Information about ITP and legal status comes from external sources. The absence of negative records does not guarantee the absence of prior administrative mentions.

Periodic technical inspection (ITP)

Passed

Record found on 06.2025

The technical inspection was passed successfully.

Valid until 06.2027

Struck off

No record found

There is no record that the vehicle has been marked as struck off.

Private, fleet or taxi?

The Logan and Sandero are often used as taxis, in company fleets or for ride-hailing. The pace at which the mileage readings rise tells you what life the car has had. Pick a profile and compare the slope.

Private use

What you see in the report

Steady readings, with no sudden drops, and a yearly pace close to 10,000-15,000 km can point to personal use. Compare the trend over several years, not a single value.

What to ask the seller for

Ask for the service invoices, estimates and inspection documents for the intervals between the readings in the report. Their dates and mileage complete the car's timeline.

At the viewing

Compare the wear on the steering wheel, pedals, driver's seat and controls with the stated mileage. The interior should match the car's age and mileage.

The report includes a commercial use check: taxi, rental or fleet. The mileage pace completes the picture. High mileage isn't a problem in itself, as long as the price reflects it.

The mileage chart in the report

Readings from inspections, services and listings, on a chart. Tap the points to see the date and mileage. In the example, the mileage drops after the import and the report flags the drop.

Models, generations and what the names mean.

Dacia ads often use the same words: Stepway, ECO-G, 4x4. Some change the price a lot, so they are worth confirming in the report's technical data.

What to check at the viewing.

The report shows what was recorded. The rest you see on the car and in the papers.

The same VIN everywhere

At the base of the windscreen, on the door pillar sticker and in field E of the registration document. Where to find the VIN.

LPG, on the registration document

An ECO-G starts on petrol and then switches to LPG. An aftermarket system must appear on the registration certificate.

Drivetrain on the Duster 4x4

Try the drive mode selector and drive a little on an unpaved surface, if you can.

Diagnostics and test drive

Stored fault codes and the clutch's condition don't appear in a history report.

Enter the 17 characters of the VIN in the field on this page. You see the make and model for free, then you can buy the full report: mileage, damage, inspection, service history and the other sections available for that car.

The first three characters identify the manufacturer. UU1 means Dacia, Romania. Some Dacia models are built in other countries too, for example the Spring in China, so the VIN may start differently.

Yes, for cars registered in Romania, when the Romanian vehicle register has records for the VIN: the inspection date, its validity and the mileage noted. A car not yet registered in Romania has no Romanian ITP inspection.

The report includes a commercial use check: taxi, rental or fleet. Next to it, the mileage pace on the chart and how frequent the readings are show how hard the car was used. On the car, look for marks on the roof from a taxi sign and a worn rear seat.

ECO-G versions have the system fitted at the factory. An aftermarket system must be approved and entered on the registration certificate. Compare the ad with the registration document.

Don't rely on a single character of the VIN. You see the year in the car's data in the report, and the make and model for free once you enter the VIN.

No. The report shows what has been recorded in the car's history. The current condition is checked with a garage diagnostic and a test drive.
