Spain VIN check for imported cars.
Check the history of a car brought from Spain and discover the available information on damage, mileage, service, photos and previous use.
How was the car used in Spain?
A car can be sold by a private owner, a company, a leasing firm or a rental company. The VIN helps you check the available information about its previous use.
Find out whether the vehicle was previously identified as a rental car, when this information is available.
Check the available information on commercial use and compare it with the mileage and service history.
Review the number and frequency of the available records to better understand the car's timeline.
What we check for a car from Spain
See the damage events, repair estimates and previous images available.
Follow the mileage readings and service interventions identified in the vehicle's history.
Check the available information on rental, leasing, fleet or transport use.
Compare the engine and factory equipment with the information presented by the seller.
What a listing does not always show
Sales photos can hide traces of repairs, paint differences or the wear accumulated during commercial use. A history report can provide extra context before you travel for a viewing.
If older images are available, compare the vehicle's previous condition with its current presentation.
Important checks during the physical inspection
Check the paint, plastic parts, headlights, upholstery and dashboard for signs of fading or deterioration.
Inspect the metal components and the underside of the car for any traces of corrosion.
Test the air conditioning and check the history of available interventions.
These aspects cannot be established from a report alone and must be checked directly on the car.
Check before arranging transport
Ask for the full VIN before paying a deposit or booking transport.
Check the mileage, configuration and information presented by the seller.
Pay attention to cars that were used commercially or as rentals.
The Certcar report should be completed with a physical check and a diagnosis.
