Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

PROVIN is your consultant and private detective in the car-buying process. We do not simply hand you a dry data printout. We combine information from international paid databases, official dealer service history and European auction photo archives, and add what matters most: listing analysis and model-specific technical risk assessment.

A standard automated report only provides raw system data (often incomplete), which is hard for a buyer to navigate or to spot patterns in. We do not simply forward data: we analyse and compare it. We connect sources, read between the lines of the listing, assess typical weak points of the specific engine and gearbox, and provide a personal phone consultation to walk through every pro and con.

PROVIN MINI (€39.99) suits cars that have already been used in Latvia for a longer time. The focus is local history, CSDD and origin-country registers, recent technical inspection (TA) data, listing analysis and practical tips for an in-person viewing. PROVIN AUDITS (€99.99) is a full investigation for cars imported from abroad. It includes the full MINI package plus paid international databases (carVertical, autoDNA, Cebia and others), official dealer system data and European auction photo archives, so you can see the real condition and mileage before repairs and import.

A standalone product (€24.99): official dealer or manufacturer service records. This report contains only data from official dealer databases. Delivery within 24 hours. If the official dealer database holds no records, we refund the full amount.

Standard turnaround is 24-72 hours after payment is received. Because we check and analyse every car manually, we take care to examine the details thoroughly. As soon as the audit is ready, we email it to you and arrange a short phone consultation.

You only need the car's VIN or licence plate number, plus your email and phone. If you have a listing link, add it as well: the listing photos and the seller's description give us a lot of valuable material for the analysis.

Let's be honest: there is no single "perfect" database in the world, and neither honest nor dishonest sellers put everything on paper. Our job is to pull every available thread together and flag contradictions when they appear. A PROVIN audit gives you a major advantage in negotiations and protects you from an obvious lemon, but a physical workshop diagnosis before purchase is always a sensible final step.
