The ProAvto portal offers visitors a wonderful opportunity to find out all the “insider things” about the car being purchased, where to start the check it is enough to enter the state number in the appropriate line. An automated system for searching information from trusted sources will allow you to get verified and up-to-date data, avoiding a number of troubles:

• fraudulent schemes;
• hidden damage;
• the presence of restrictions on the transaction with this vehicle;
• the fact of theft or use in the activities of a taxi service;
• false information about technical characteristics;
• unreasonably high cost of the car.

Both in material terms and in terms of practicality, a preliminary check by license plate seems to be extremely relevant for potential vehicle owners. Firstly, you know exactly what kind of car you are buying - the year of manufacture, brand, body type, etc., and secondly, you can count on a fair price. It has become a common practice in our country to overprice used cars, while not all buyers know that there is a great way to reduce their costs, namely, to conduct an audit and, based on the report, offer the seller their terms of the transaction.

In addition, the collection of information about the car will avoid litigation with representatives of law enforcement agencies. If the car is stolen or is listed among the participants in the investigated traffic accident, the owner can come to the owner at any time for explanations, and under certain circumstances, even confiscate the car. Another important reason to use our portal is to clarify the technical condition of the vehicle. After all, even if outwardly everything is in order with the car, this does not mean at all that it was not damaged and subsequently repaired.

When purchasing a personal vehicle, a person hopes that it will last at least a couple of years without breakdowns, but if there were defects before, then there is a risk of malfunctions. In some situations, it even makes sense to refuse to sign a sales contract when the costs of the purchase and subsequent repairs are comparable to the purchase of a new car. Naturally, you can find out that the car is “problematic” only after checking, which can be done anonymously and at a moderate cost on our website. We will make sure that the data you need is up-to-date at the time of the request and there are no delays in generating the report. Based on your financial capabilities and the goals of the audit, you can order a short or full report on our website. In the first case, your attention will be presented with basic information, including the model, brand and VIN number, while the full one will provide an opportunity to get answers to the following questions:

• whether the car is misappropriated property;
• whether the car was used as a taxi;
• whether the vehicle has the status of a long-term lease object;
• who were the previous owners;
• Is the car listed as collateral for a loan?
• in which traffic accidents the car was involved;
• what is the customs value at the time of importation into the territory of Russia.

To become the owner of invaluable information on the purchased car, you do not need to make any effort at all. Just enter the state number you know in the search bar and follow the link to read the summary report. If more detailed information is required, we are always happy to provide it in electronic form upon additional request.

Today, there are several online services for free checking a car by VIN code or state number. As a rule, people who buy used cars use this service. To get information you need to know:

• VIN code or state. room;
• chassis or body number;
• have internet access

Each vehicle has its own unique VIN code. It determines the history of the vehicle, the number of owners, and other important information.
Most of the Internet resources provide reports on cars for a fee, but there are also those that do not require cash costs. The most authoritative and unmistakable resource is the traffic police website. There is a special form where the VIN (or state number) is entered, then the verification code, after which the presence of restrictions is checked. In the absence or unknown VIN code, the body or chassis number is entered.
Once the request has been processed, the applicant will receive information about:

• possible stay of a car in search;
• conducting cases against the car by law enforcement agencies, social security, customs

Most motorists have enough of all of the above to decide whether to purchase a vehicle.

Services for free verification

You can learn about the restrictions imposed on the car completely free of charge through several online resources. There you can not only check the car for free, but also make sure the seller's data is correct. The most reliable and popular of these services is the traffic police website, which operates in all cities and regions of the Russian Federation. The service databases contain information about the following issues:

• searching for a car;
• restrictions on its registration

To search for it on the resource page, you need to specify the VIN code of the car. The results of checking any vehicle registered in Russia will appear in 2 minutes.
The traffic police does not provide information about whether the car is collateral. The website of the Federal Notary Chamber will help you find out about this.
There are also alternative resources where you can check the car for free, for example, the Autocode website. Through it, you can get acquainted with the history of the car in more detail, learning about:

• traffic accidents;
• prohibitions related to the registration of the car;
• all car owners;
• passed technical inspection

But this site has higher requirements. There you need to enter not only the VIN, but also the details of the vehicle certificate, register. The Autocode project is subject to state control.

On what method of verification to stop?

The best option for the future owner of the car is to contact the traffic police, preferably in a place with the distributor, that is, the current owner.
When choosing other resources, it is better to consider the official ones, where data is constantly updated.
The employees of the portal Doroga still advise, if possible, to use paid reports, which contain more complete information, for example, about the presence of the vehicle in the theft database and previous checks.

Good afternoon. In this article, I will show a simple and free way to find out the VIN code of a car by the state number, if at least once since 2014 the car has passed an official inspection.

What is a vin code?

VIN the code ( vehicle identification number ) - this is a unique seventeen-character identification number of the vehicle, which contains information about the year of manufacture, country of production, specific manufacturer, and configuration. This information is encoded in the first seven digits. The remaining 10 (in most cases) is the serial number of the car. According to the manufacturer's internal databases (most companies have them open), you can find out the color and additional equipment.

In most cases, the VIN code is applied in several places and duplicated on the panel under the glass.

It looks like this:

Why is it sometimes necessary to find out the VIN code by number?

In the 21st century, the Internet allows you to instantly get information about the car. For example, on the traffic police website by the VIN code, you can find out the history of car registration (i.e. who and how much owned a particular car), check the car for participation in an accident (from January 1, 2015), and most importantly, check the car for a ban on registration actions and search. Agree - it's unpleasant to buy a car and find out that it is forever registered. And it doesn’t matter if you are looking for a car for yourself or you are just ordinary

How to find out the VIN code of a car by the state number (option 1)?

For simplicity, let's look at an example, there is such a declaration:

The numbers are not visible, so I opened a larger photo:

We go to the site for checking the technical inspection according to the EAISTO database ( https://kbm-osago.ru/proverka-tehosmotra.html) and drive the numbers into the verification form:

We press the check inspection button, and we get the result (in which the VIN code will be indicated).

How to find out the VIN code and in general all the data about the car, but for a fee?

Unfortunately, due to the heavy workload, the service above does not always work, and after using it, you still have to go to the traffic police website and look at deposits, restrictions and accidents (and then only from 2015), but there is an option to use a paid a service that will provide all the data in one report − autocode. Very convenient and understandable, enter the number and get a complete report on the car. Accident, registration history, customs, presence of restrictions.

We found out all the VIN codes by number .... What to do with him next?

Let's go to vehicle check page on the traffic police website and, specifying the wine code, we get the result:

This car has a ban on registration actions, due to a debt on a used list, click on the link with the number of the enforcement proceedings and go to the website of the bailiffs, where we see a debt of 13 tr:

In principle, you can buy this car and it will be registered, provided that you pay the debt of the owner and take a certificate about this .... Or if the owner pays the debt with you and gives you a document on the removal of restrictions.

That's all I have today. I hope that the question of how to find out the VIN code of a car by state number is fully disclosed in the article. If you have any questions, or if you know an easier method, write comments.

Regardless of the country of origin, when they leave the factory line, modern cars must be provided with registration information (more often this is called the VIN (VIN) code).

Applied directly to the car body, such information is a much more reliable means of protection than paper documents, which can be easily faked.

What is the VIN code of a car

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or less commonly, in Russia - “body number”, this is the encrypted VIN code that the manufacturer puts on its models.

In the domestic certificate of registration is indicated as "Vehicle Identification Number". Adopted in the early eighties, this standard serves as an internationally uniform system for identifying vehicles.

You can find it on a special plate located on the front instrument panel, or at the end of the door. The VIN code consists of three sections, giving a total of 17 characters from Latin letters and Arabic numerals:

• WMI (World Manufacturers Identification) - the first three characters display information about the country of origin of the vehicle;
• VDS (Vehicle Description Section) - the characteristics of the model, they are applied by the manufacturer at their discretion, often without using all six characters, filling them with “Z” signs;
• VIS (Vehicle Identification Section) - the serial number, which occupies the remaining 8 characters, the last four are always numbers. The year of manufacture may also be indicated in this section, which is always placed in the first 4 characters, leaving the rest for the manufacturer's encryption.

When using letters, capitals are driven in. At the same time, in order to avoid confusion, the letter “O” is never used in the VIN code of the car. The sign "O" means only the number "zero".

It is also allowed to separate parts of the VIN code using special characters for readability. This is not a violation, and this way of recording does not mean a "fake" plate with a VIN code. On the body of a car, the cipher can, if necessary, be placed on two lines, in registration documents this is already unacceptable, only writing in a solid line is allowed.

How to punch a car for arrests and restrictions

When buying a new car in a car dealership, no checks are required, you always buy a "clean" car and don't have to worry about anything.

When it comes to purchasing a used car, the situation changes dramatically. Legislatively repealed a few years ago, the need to deregister a vehicle before selling it greatly simplified the process of transferring a car from a seller to a buyer, but added some “pig in a poke” effect.

Video - how to find out the VIN code of a car, knowing its state. room:

Video - how easy it is to find out VIN by state. vehicle number (method No. 2):

Video - how to check the restrictions on the car and the seller himself before buying a vehicle:

Video - how to correctly check the VIN code of a car before buying:

If you want to check in advance whether there will be any problems when re-registering the purchased car for yourself (the buyer must go through this procedure within 10 days from the moment), then you need to be prepared for some nuances.

The fact is that officially in the traffic police you will not be able to check the car until you become its legal owner, transferring the money to the seller and concluding a contract of sale. Only at this stage, the traffic police can give you complete information about whether the car is on the “black lists”, whether it is possible to register it or not.

Some of those who bought a used car found themselves owners of mortgage, stolen and credit cars. Such a car is a burden and a source of inconvenience, but it is impossible to drive it.

Litigation takes a long time and, as a rule, does not always give the desired result. Money given for a car can be irretrievably lost.

It is proposed to avoid these risks by checking the car for arrests and restrictions on the VIN code, designed to identify the following aspects of the car's "biography":

• Is the car under mortgage? The most common case. When a car is purchased on credit, it is owned by the bank until the amount is fully repaid; people call such cars "credit";
• whether the car is currently stolen or was considered as such before;
• information from the Customs Service, if the car is of foreign manufacture;
• check on the basis of debtors (bailiffs, investigating authorities, social protection authorities, court decisions);
• technical information about the car;
• maintenance history.

All this information is extremely useful for review if you are going to buy a used vehicle. It is necessary to make such a check before buying in order to avoid misunderstandings.

There are several services where you can check a car for restrictions by VIN code for free. It will not be superfluous to check the seller himself, if you have information about him.

We will indicate the most common services where you can perform such a check online.

Check the VIN code of the car on the website of the traffic police

The most obvious and popular way to check is the official website of the traffic police, where the VIN code check function was launched in early 2014 - LINK. This service operates in all regions of the Russian Federation.

The database identifies problems along the traffic police line, which may be with the vehicle:

• information about the search for the vehicle;
• information on the imposition of restrictions on registration actions with a vehicle.

To get to this service from the main page of the official website gibdd.ru, you should click on the "Check Car" button in the right sidebar:

On the page that opens, you are asked to enter the VIN code of the car of interest, as well as security characters from the verification picture. If there is no data on the VIN code of the car, you can enter the body or chassis number.

The entire procedure for checking a car is absolutely free, it takes about two minutes, the results are displayed on the screen. This works for all cars with Russian registration.

Check for bail

Recently, the traffic police website does not provide data on the presence of a vehicle in the database of pledged cars, to obtain them, you should use the website of the Federal Notary Chamber and check whether the car you plan to buy is listed in the register of notifications of pledge of movable property.

To do this, follow the LINK and select: information about the subject of pledge - vehicle and enter the VIN code of the vehicle in the search field.

As a result of the search, we get that the car, whose VIN code we entered for example, is not listed among the collateral.

Punch a car on the site "Autocode"

As a more complete alternative to the traffic police service, the official website "Autocode" was launched with the "Autohistory" section for checking a car for the Moscow region - LINK.

This resource provides the interested person with more detailed information, for example:

• information about the imposed registration prohibitions;
• Has the car been in an accident?
• list of all car owners;
• inspection history.

In addition to the VIN code, for verification, you will also need to enter the Vehicle Certificate, as well as undergo mandatory registration.

Video - how to check a car for arrest, registration actions, ban, pledge, restrictions (ProAuto):

Despite the differences from the traffic police website, the Autocode project (avtokod.mos.ru) is also under state control, which means it is included in the general system for exchanging information between departments.

Please note: there are many projects on the Internet that are consonant with the word "Autocode", but we recommend using the information obtained on the official website.

VIN.AUTO.RU

This service (LINK) allows you to get information about the car for free by entering its VIN code in the appropriate field.

For more information, click on the word "decrypt".

Alternative online services

There are other alternative sites for checking vehicles by VIN code.

For example, the AutoCode online service for checking cars by state number and VIN:

We found the Adaperio online service quite convenient, which allows you to learn a lot of interesting things about the car that the previous owner of the vehicle would not tell you.

For example, you can easily find out about the accidents that the checked car has been in, whether it was used as a taxi (!), whether various restrictions were imposed on it, what repair and service work was carried out with it, etc. (it is clear that this information will be shown only on the condition that they have been documented).

Verification is carried out in just 10 minutes. To do this, enter the VIN number in the appropriate field and click the "Check" button.

At the next free stage, you will not receive any detailed information! We were “bribed” by the fact that the service accurately issued data on the state number of the vehicle being checked.

For the sake of the experiment, we decided to "risk" our 267 rubles and buy the full report to see what information we get in the paid version of the report. To do this, you must specify your email and use the payment option that is convenient for you.

Secondly, we received a complete list of ongoing repairs. Thirdly, we learned a lot of additional information that we didn’t even know about….

In general, we were satisfied and believe that 267 rubles is a completely justified cost for an additional check of the car before buying it.

On another site, vin-info.com, you can get all the technical data, as well as a history of previous requests, which can be extremely important.

The site interface is very simple. it was created for only one purpose and is focused on the person who came for the check. Going to the main page, you need to enter the VIN code in a special line.

The check is very fast, taking less than 10 seconds. After its completion, if the number was entered correctly, you will receive information about the available data on the car. The results are divided into two parts, these are the main data of the car.

Here you can see if you managed to find information on the car in the databases, mainly of a technical nature: year of manufacture, make, model, gearbox version, and so on.

The second part is the content of the report.

The information in this section concerns the manufacturer of the car, previous checks, as well as the presence of the car in the theft databases. Such reports are paid - one check will cost the equivalent of 450 Russian rubles.

Which verification method to choose

The ideal option for a doubting buyer will always be to check the car directly with the traffic police, where you can contact the seller (the owner of the car at the time of the check).

With the development of the Internet, many online resources have appeared for quickly checking a car by VIN code.

Boris

Online services are convenient, but how up-to-date is the information they provide? With our bureaucracy, checking directly with the traffic police will still be more reliable.

Anatoly

It also seems to me that only the traffic police provides up-to-date information. On the Internet, you can look just for complacency.

Michael

At the end of the summer I am going to buy myself a Lancer, now I will know about these services, even if the information is not up to date somewhere, it still does not hurt to break through the car on all sites.

Sanyok

Realistically, not everything is clear. But do not run every time in the traffic police. If on online services the car goes as problematic, then there is nothing to check it further.

Sergey Vladimirovich

A friend bought a foreign car jeep (he got on credit for almost a million), and six months later it turns out that this jeep was stolen. While they were suing, they dressed up with the salon, which this jeep sold three months later, this very jeep was stolen from this friend Anatoly. Now he works in an ambulance, he walks, there is no jeep, AND THE CREDIT REMAINS!!!

And now I WANT TO BUY A CAR (I want a foreign economy car up to 600 tr) and I'm afraid to conduct a dialogue on this topic in the cabin. Here is YOU and VIN and traffic police.
A vicious circle is some kind of dead end. I don’t forge money, so that I can give it to some crooks and be left with nothing. All his life he worked as a truck driver.
Sorry if that's not what I said. I have my own point of view - crooks will never say that they are crooks.

Michael

My friends, what should I do if an existing car is wanted by the databases? Go to the traffic police to give up or is it better to keep quiet?

Sergei

By the way, this service for checking a car by VIN number helped me out many times. When I went to buy a car supported, I called my wife, dictated the VIN and she punched the car at home. And so, when I looked at the ads on the Internet, if the seller indicated the VIN, then he checked it himself and already knew what I was dealing with.

George

Sometimes there are online services with outdated information. It is better to check with the traffic police directly, it will be more reliable.

Karina

I will tell you as an expert that these resources for checking the VIN code of a car really work. I accept cars on bail at a pawnshop. And every time we use the services of such resources, we have repeatedly helped out. But the traffic police is undoubtedly more reliable!

Andrey

And I will say this, no one will ever give you a 100% guarantee that the car is without burdens. Even the traffic police. No, these guys have the most reliable information. But a comrade was going to buy a car somehow, smart, he punched through Vin, everything is ok. And it turned out two digits were interrupted. On reconciliation it turned out when he had already given the money. So tired of walking around the police, proving that it was not he who interrupted. So the lottery

Boris

It’s good that there are such services that allow you to “break through” the cleanliness of a car by the VIN code, even if this is not always relevant.

Svetlana

With current technology, you can fake all the data, the guarantee of a “clean” car is to take a new one, not a used one.

Anton

Buying a used car can be an unpleasant surprise if you do not use the services of this useful service. For motorists, this is a good gift for the security of the transaction. As for fraudulent schemes, you can also buy a car with a broken body in a car dealership, instead of a new one.

Yuri

The vehicle VIN is necessary and useful in many situations. In addition to checking the car in the traffic police, he often helped me out when ordering spare parts and consumables for the car.

Dmitriy

I came across such sites for checking the vin number for the first time when I decided to sell the car. Information, the buyer checked additionally in the traffic police. Indeed, in our country it is better to play it safe, because the purchase amount is rather big. And so I recommend everyone to check the car by vin at least on 2-3 sites before buying.

Volodya

Different sites give different data on the color of the car. Namely: red-burgundy-cherry. In addition: according to the PCA, the last insurance policy ended in 2013. Further, from 2013 to 2017, there is no data on OSAGO policies, although the car was driving and is driving now. Maintenance data: from 2012-2014, and 2016-2017. The nephew (as he introduced himself) is selling the car for his aunt, who is on a business trip in distant lands for 2 weeks. Aunt's registration is also in distant Russian regions, and the car is sold with us. Is it worth buying this car?

Volodya,
in cases where at least some doubts arise, we advise you to refuse to buy such a car.

Volodya

Thanks! “Driversauto.” This is exactly what I do, because I value what I have earned with honest work. And what? For the fourth week it is impossible to find a typewriter. There are a lot of dubious cars, people and sites in Russia. You can already write a novel about the stories of meetings with a dozen car salesmen. Here is one of the real stories. Announcement of the sale of Cheri Kimo 2012 appeared on AVITO two weeks ago. The car was originally sold in Cheboksary, a fresh Chinese without rye with a full range of options, a lot of photos dispelled doubts, the state number was not hidden. The price is much lower than the market price — 135,000. I did not sell it outbid, the profile was clean. A day later, the ad in Chebakh was removed… Sold? Familiarity with his profile indicates one thing - outbid. I don't want to deal with scammers. I understand that the Agreement concluded with a piece of paper, with an incomprehensible squiggle placed on it by an unknown person, has no legal force. Such a Buyer takes a big risk. I check the state number on the PCA website, good luck, the VIN came up. Further, the website of the traffic police, everything is fine, no accidents, three owners, no search encumbrances, although the production was only 2009 .. Further developed rapidly ... Every day at 8 in the morning the announcement in Kugesy was the very first. The date always read: today at 7.35, today at 7.46, today at 7.53, etc., etc., etc. At the same time, every two or three days the orange Chinese shamelessly dumped. The price fell - ... 116000 - ... 109000. Each time when the price was reduced, not trusting my eyes, I checked the Celestial Kingdom with a strange fate by the VIN code on the traffic police website, again making sure that it was still the same wanderer. Finally, on the day of the last morning collapse, the announcement, closer to dinner, was finally removed. Phew, now the end of the story. What pulled me to check the car for the last time??? The traffic police website calmly reported, "No registration actions were found for this VIN code." The orange, slanting Chinese Kim O disappeared, dissolved, he never existed. In the morning it was, and by lunchtime it was already a ghost. Please comment.

Volodya,
Once again we repeat “not sure - do not buy”! Tales about Pinocchio, how to bury gold and grow a money tree remember? So it is with cars ... There are no freebies! And there are quite a few schemes of "money taking" invented. Do you need it? It is better to spend more time and sort through the options for a long time ... Sooner or later you will find a car purchase option that suits both you and the seller, while both will be satisfied! Good luck!

Volodya

Thank you again, dear Drivers!
I continue to follow your advice. I always remember that Pinocchio, so beloved by us, having stuffed cones, having failed, nevertheless found a golden key and a cherished door to the fairy-tale land of Happiness.
And almost a detective story, I described in order to understand the strange fact that I had established. Someone has free access to the traffic police databases on its official website, which have the status of free state. services. Can remove information and correct them. In my opinion, a car with a history should not suddenly, suddenly disappear without a trace. The archive must be preserved.
EG. My previous, recently sold car, having received transit numbers, went to distant Kyrgyzstan. About this I received an official paper in my native traffic police, having come there to terminate the registration. And yet, checking it by VIN, I see all its data, including the new owner. My former car has not disappeared anywhere, has not disappeared into space and time, it still exists, at least in the archive.
Sincerely! Volodya.

Information about the Machine is not shown on the site when you enter the VIN code. What does this mean?

• Alexander

  Each car has its own individual VIN code. This is a kind of car passport and if a paper document can be forged or replaced, then this serial number is impossible. It consists of 17 digits indicating both the country and the manufacturer and the country and model, etc. That is, someone who knows how to decipher will know literally everything about the car, no matter what the seller tells you. The difficult thing is that while the car is not yours, you will not be able to break it through the traffic police database, but within 10 days from the date of the transaction, you will be informed of all the sins without any problems. But the benefit is not a problem today, it breaks through the bases of paid services.

  Victor

  All information contained in paid reports is publicly available on the traffic police website - accidents, arrests, and so on. Do not be fooled by the divorce) It is a pity that the traffic police website does not work with cars without a VIN like the old Japanese.

  Arthur

  He took his car from his hands, on Avito. From there, it's a stone's throw to the auto store, sort of like their service. The traffic police check only upon purchase, so I don’t know who is suitable for this option. Make sure that the VIN numbers on the car and the registration certificate match. It's obvious, but I almost missed it myself.

  Maksim

  Every time before buying a car, you need to check it not only for fault, but also for collateral and violations. Thank God there are now a bunch of sites from the government that you can use and get reliable data.

  Sergei

  I always check the car before buying it according to the traffic police database, and I try not to buy a car from resellers, but only from the owner. Another option is to immediately register with the traffic police, then they will immediately check it, issue it and you will pay the seller.

  Lyokha

  This technique of registration information is really relevant and useful: you can find out almost everything, it’s difficult to fake and everyone can check, there is no need to contact the traffic police. The only subjective problem, in my opinion, is a complex and long series of characters. Remembering and even more so understanding it is unrealistic, therefore, when entering into special fields, you must carefully monitor so as not to make a mistake. Here, we mainly consider the usefulness of VIN when buying / selling a car, but this is not the only plus. When repairing a car, when you need to purchase a certain spare part, VIN greatly simplifies the search process and reduces the risk that the purchased item will not work.

  Regina

  Very, very useful stuff. My friend at the time of buying an old foreign car did not think of checking the car according to the VIN code and sat down, so to speak, in a puddle with a car bought from hand. It turned out that the VIN code was broken. After that, he decided not to risk it, but deregistered it and sold it cheaply at a disassembly for spare parts.

  Galina

  Due to my stupidity, when buying a car, I did not check it by the VIN code. The registration went well, but when the traffic police checked the number, I was pretty worried. I'll be smarter next time.

  Julia

  And after welding, they gave us our carved wine. Will there be any problems with the renewal?

  Identification, body or wine code - a car number located on the car body, assigned directly at the manufacturer at the time of release. It contains fairly complete information about the car. It encodes information such as the country of manufacture of the car, the manufacturer's code, the make and model of the car, the year of manufacture, and other information. The VIN code is located directly on the car, which allows you to always distinguish it from many other cars. The VIN code is also reflected in the technical passport of the car. When buying a used car, it is very important for the buyer to know information about it. Whether it was in an accident, in an accident, whether it is a pledge in a bank for loans, whether it has other restrictions on use specified during registration. It is also important to know how many previous owners there were, since the current state of the car depends on this. It is a pity that at present there is no information center where one could get complete information about the car, and, if necessary, about its owner. Therefore, in life there are many mistakes and embarrassments. And as a rule, the answer and the loss is the buyer, who inadvertently bought a problematic car. Therefore, there is no need to rush to buy a car from strangers. You need to check in various ways. First of all, using the Internet and its resources, where the necessary information is located. There are currently many such resources (sites), these are the sites of official institutions, the traffic police, notary offices, banks, and sites that aim to help car buyers in obtaining the necessary information. They are easy to find with an internet search engine. And now the advice: “If you find at least one problem hidden by the seller related to the operation of the car offered for purchase, DO NOT BUY it and DO NOT BUY - look for a clean car”

  Tatyana

  Good day. How long is the information about the accident stored? The fact is that a month after buying a car, in 2013, I got into an accident (minor, but they called traffic cops). Now I checked my car: there is no information about the accident, as if there had never been an accident.

  Danila

  Was this year with my daughter in Montenegro. She just bought herself a car with her hands. So I witnessed a car check on Vin via the Internet. In a specialized company - a customs broker ("spediter"), you submit an application and with you the car is checked for everything - theft, accidents, history, all owners (and all over the world), banks, registries. And it costs about 200 euros.
  I think that we will come to the fact that we will have a single database for each car.
  In the meantime, I will talk about the services that I or my friends have encountered.
  The very first place they always turn to is the official website of the traffic police. Here you can check the car only by the VIN code. However, if there is no data on an accident, it does not mean that the car was without accidents, the accident could simply not be registered. The service has a minus - it often hangs.
  You can check the history through the good service avtokod.mos.ru, but it only works in Moscow and the region. To check a car, you need a vehicle registration certificate and you must register on the public services portal. On the site you will find the history of the car, mileage data, contacts with the insurance company, accidents, data from those. inspection and so on.
  In order to check a car for a pledge, there is a site reestr-zalogov.ru To check, you need to know the Vin code. However, my friend's site gave out the absence of a deposit, but he was there, so the service does not guarantee.
  Therefore, I advise you to check for collateral on two more sites - vin.auto.ru and banki.ru, however, the check here is paid - 300 rubles.
  There is also a site where you can find out the true owner of a car - avtobot.net. If the car has ever been on the Internet, then you will definitely find it there.
  You can also check the car via Telegram.me/AvtobotBot
  You can check the OSAGO policy through the PCA service.
  You can also check the car for court cases at the FSSP service. He will show you the cases that are being prosecuted.
  If you suspect that the car was used as a taxi, go to the MosReg website. True, it is only in Moscow and the region.
  And the last site of the FCS known to me is the site of the customs, where you can get information about customs clearance for Vin.

  More recently, the online service for checking by vincode did not allow me to make a big mistake. Loved one car, went looking with a man who inspected the accident and painting. Everything appeared to be in excellent condition. They began to check on the vincode, and not only did it have 19 restrictions, it also has a duplicate title. Thanks to the service, otherwise I would have bought it, and then no money, no car in the end.

  In general, even the documents cannot be trusted 100%. Now the birds are already forging, and it turns out that the sale and purchase agreements are easy to lose or feed to the dog) It’s already getting to the point of absurdity, honestly. I always check by fault - this is the fastest and most reliable way to get a history of operation. I used the auto library a couple of months ago, there was a lot of information - mileage, repairs, maintenance, accidents / thefts / pledges / loans and a whole lot more.

  Larisa

  I always use the traffic police website. Now bailiffs, due to the slightest debts, seize property, and, as a result, there is a ban on registration actions. Do not make a purchase without checking the car!

  Sveta

  It would be great if the dealerships that sell used cars would check them whether the car is at fault or not. And it turns out you go to the salon, hoping to take a normal car, but you get a "pig in a poke." And then you go to court, proving your case.

  Laura

  Fortunately, I never encountered the problems that sometimes arise when buying used cars, but I took my first car “by hand” and, of course, punched through everything that was possible, including by the VIN code. I started, as many recommend, from the official traffic police website. Bummer. Basically zero information. I don't even know why. Then I walked through two little-known sites (I didn’t even remember their name). Here, it seems, something manifested itself, but considered that it was not enough for me. But on Autocode I received the most complete and, as it turned out, reliable information. In general, I really liked Autocode. The interface, as it is now fashionable to say, is friendly and intuitive even for the first time looking there. There is really a lot of information and everything necessary for verification is available. Again, from experience I confirm the relevance of the data. Moreover, as the author of the official site said, he is responsible for the information provided and gives serious guarantees. This is not some kind of sharashka office, of which there are countless divorced. Therefore, I recommend the following VIN-code search strategy: first we go to the office. traffic police website, and then we get the missing information on the Autocode. I don't think you will be disappointed.

  Anatoly

  The same online applications use all the information that is provided on the traffic police website, with the exception of a couple of nuances. I personally compared the site with the application, infa one to one.

  Anna

  Phew, it was the most difficult thing for me to figure out what all these numbers and letters on the marking mean. And then check the faults on the glass, barrels and other details. But checking the past of the car turned out to be much easier. I drove in and received a report almost immediately. I, too, used the autotheque, by the way.

  Nicholas

  Popular sites now have a column - VIN code. I don’t even read about the car if there is no VIN code, the right hand drive often has no data, but I don’t even look at them. And if there is no data for the left hand drive, then you need to think about it.

The databases are state-owned, anyone has access to them, the main thing is that there is the data that is required. In the first case, you need a car number or body number. There is information about all the cars that were arrested by the judges and investigators, there is no information about the mortgage car in this database. It contains, in particular, information about cars issued by social security authorities.

If there is a car and someone is trying to sell, then the purchase should be abandoned.

In the case of the site of bailiffs, the situation is somewhat different. It is not the car itself that is checked, but its owner.
It doesn't matter if it's an organization or an ordinary person. If a case has been opened, there is information about it in the database. If the property is sold under the control of the bailiff, and the money will be transferred to the appropriate account to pay off the debt, this is one thing, but if the deal is rushed, they don’t say anything about the arrest, you should beware.

An electronic database is a convenient thing, but it does not always work normally, besides, bailiffs do not always enter all the data on time, the problem of completeness of data also applies to the database of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The check can be done:

1. By opening the website of the FSSP or traffic police on the Internet.
2. Find sections services.
3. Complete all required fields step by step.

In the case of the website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there you only need to enter the number data of the body or state number.

The bailiff resource works harder:

1. It is necessary to indicate the subject where the case is opened (republic, region, city of federal significance).
2. The address of the person-debtor or organization.
3. The system asks to enter the number of enforcement proceedings.

What you need to check

It is rare for anyone to feel confident when buying a car that he will not be deceived and the thing is not under arrest or wanted, as you know, bases do not always reflect the current situation:

1. If the car was bought at a bank, you should visit the institution so that the owner receives a certificate stating that the bank has no claims.
2. It is more difficult with bailiffs, production can be opened in any department of the country, but no one will give information to the buyer.
3. You need to go along with the seller to register the purchase with the traffic police, otherwise there is a risk of fraud, then you won’t find either the seller or the money.

With the purchase of a mortgaged car, the easiest way is that the transfer of a car takes place under the control of the bank or in a special car dealership that sells mortgaged cars. The owner of such a car often finds a suitable buyer himself, but again, everything goes under bank control.

Who and in what cases can seize a car

According to the law, arrest is considered to be a prohibition to perform any actions with property. This mainly concerns real estate, cars, securities, money in accounts. This is done in order to prevent the loss of property that was transferred to the plaintiff on a claim, by decision of a judge, or which was used for sale in the course of enforcement proceedings.

Property is seized:

1. Judges in the process of consideration of civil cases.
2. Bailiffs involved in the execution of a court decision.
3. Investigators conducting a criminal case, in order to be able to confiscate property in the future or use it to compensate for damage.

How is the arrest procedure

The investigator or bailiff makes a decision.

It describes in detail the features of the car:

1. Mark.
2. Color.
3. Number (including body numbers).
4. Year of issue.

All data is copied from the passport to the car, and the certificate of ownership. Also, the investigator or judge has the right to make a request to the traffic police, which maintains the register of cars. It contains both technical data and information about the owner. There are enough of them so that there is no confusion, and someone else does not get hurt.

In the case of a judge, the procedure is similar, there are some differences in criminal and civil cases. In a civil case, an application for attachment of property is written by the plaintiff or his representative or the prosecutor. The application is a request to secure a claim, and the arrest is the way or one of the ways in which this is asked to be done.

The judge decides the issue of arrest either together with the receipt of this application to the court with a claim or, if a criminal case is transferred to the court, the judge separately decides this issue at the request of either the victim or his representative, the prosecutor.

The judge needs specific grounds for the seizure of property, if they are not indicated, the judge will issue a refusal. This kind of application can be submitted repeatedly, and, in particular, if there are some new circumstances.

Another type of car arrest is a pledge of property on a loan taken from a bank. In this case, the pledge is drawn up under an agreement, both parties agree to this, the participation of the state here is only formal: data is entered in the appropriate register.

How to remove arrest from a car

The main way to remove an arrest from a car is a judicial one. Removal of the arrest is made by filing a claim. An ordinary claim, in which a request is written to remove the arrest from property (a specific car, indicating its specific data). If the arrest was made upon the execution of the decision of the arbitration court, then a lawsuit is filed with the appropriate court, also with the district court.

Justices of the peace most often do not deal with such cases due to the car's price going beyond 50 thousand rubles.

If the arrest is imposed by the investigator, then the complaint can be filed either with the prosecutor or with the court. The prosecutor may refuse to do so, so it is easier to immediately go to court (such statements are also looked at by district judges).

How to write an application

It states:

1. The name of the court to which the papers are sent.
2. Details of the applicant (person or organization, in particular, name, address).
3. The circumstances and evidence confirming the circumstances are stated.
4. Annex - description of the list of attached securities.
5. Date and signature, a signature is an indication of the last name, first name, patronymic and signature of a person.
6. Receipt of payment of state duty.

The submission of documents is carried out either by the interested person or his representative. If the papers are submitted on behalf of the organization, a power of attorney signed by the director or another person entitled to do this is attached to the person who is involved in filing the power of attorney.

The power of attorney has the right to sign the one to whom, by virtue of his position, the right to do so is given by the charter. The signature can also be put by an official who has the right to do this without a power of attorney.

Representation of an ordinary person occurs on the basis of a power of attorney.

The circumstances are either a violation of the law (there was no reason to arrest the car) or a change in circumstances (the debt has been paid).

Bail arrests are also removed through the court in the case when the car is sold to another person, but he cannot formalize the right of ownership in the traffic police due to the presence of an arrest.

The participants in the process will be:

• Interested party (for example, the new owner).
• The person to whom the owner or former owner owes.
• Management of the FSSP, as well as the bailiff.

It is necessary to prove the fact of refusal to remove the arrest only in the case of a bank. It is enough to write a letter and have on hand a receipt proving that the letter was sent and a notification with a note of acceptance or refusal to accept the letter. The judge decides on the application in the form of a ruling. Usually everything is decided within one visit to the court.

What is the danger of buying a seized car

The consequences are different, but there is something in common: the car is confiscated as soon as it becomes clear to the traffic police when checking the documents. If the thing was illegally sold, then in case of fraud it is quite possible to open a criminal case.

If an injunction is violated and a deal was made, there is also the option of criminal liability for violating the judge's decision.

If there was no fraud and gross violation of the injunction, the buyer loses both the money given to the seller and the car. You can try to defend the rights to property in court, return yourself and remove the arrest, but whether the result will be: depends on the circumstances.
