Frequently asked questions about checking a car

Often sellers want to hide the real history of the car: they distort the mileage, undergo irregular maintenance, hide information about failed tests or uncompleted recall campaigns. Checking the car by license plate will show all this. And you decide whether to buy such a car, or make sure that you have a car with a clean history.

We use official databases, data from service stations throughout the country, and information from official dealers. We also have a unique database of Autoboom advertisements. If the car was posted on Autoboom, in the report by number we will show its history: when, in what condition and with what mileage it was sold.

The Autoboom report will contain the following information: technical characteristics of the car (check if they match the description in the ad), checking for recall campaigns and restrictions on the use of the car, car ownership history, list of owners according to documents (tenure of ownership, individual or legal entity, rental or taxi), recorded data on vehicle mileage.

When you enter your car's registration number and click "Find", we request information online from all our sources. Each time the check is carried out in real time, we show the data that is in the databases at the time of the request.

The older the car, the more likely it is that the mileage will be adjusted by unscrupulous sellers. Therefore, before buying, be sure to check the history of the car and whether it has an honest mileage. In the report on the number, we use data from our own Autoboom database and information from open sources.

In the Certificate of Registration (Rishayon Rekhev), the state number is located in the line “Registration plate”. This data can also be found on the insurance policy and on the car itself, front and back.
