FAQ
Why does a car history check matter?
A standard report is just an algorithm-generated fact sheet. The PROVIN audit goes a step further — we don't simply pass the data on, we interpret it. We analyse the credibility of the listing, the seller's psychology and model-specific risks that no automated tool can evaluate. Instead of a PDF full of tables, you receive a clear expert verdict in plain language: buy or walk away.
How do I check a car by its VIN number?
No single database is perfect. Data sources across Europe differ dramatically — information recorded in one resource can be completely missing from another, and vice versa. Relying on a single automated report means you risk missing critical information about accidents or odometer tampering. A complete picture requires comparing and cross-referencing several independent sources. Don't gamble on a single source.
Which car history reports are the most accurate?
Start with what each line actually means: mileage curves, accident categories and the quirks of national registries. The key is to compare sources and look for contradictions. PROVIN collects the data itself from a range of resources, analyses it in detail and combines it into one clear, structured report. You receive a clear summary of the specific car.
Is the data always complete?
No database is complete. We compare the sources and point out where information is contradictory or missing. The verdict helps you make a decision, but it does not replace an inspection at a workshop. An additional inspection at a service centre or by an expert is recommended in any case.
How long does it take to get the results?
Our goal is to deliver the full analysis within 48 hours of successful payment. If extra time is needed (for example, rare models or delayed data), we will let you know.
