State traffic inspectorate autocode. How to find out the owner of a car by wine number. What is VIN number? Decoding the code

Currently, it takes a minimum of effort and time to conclude a deal for the sale and purchase of a car. On the one hand, this greatly simplifies the process and eliminates unnecessary formalities, and on the other hand, there is a high probability that a person will buy a car with unpleasant "luggage" in the form of certain restrictions. Removing them, of course, in most cases is possible, but it takes a lot of effort, money and time, so it is better to initially choose legal "clean" property. To determine if the car you are going to buy has any unpleasant surprises, a search in the databases of the traffic police and other government services that have the right to impose restrictions on actions with cars will help. A detailed report prepared by the ProAvto portal will make it possible to realistically assess the acquired property and to cope with doubts about the legality of the transaction.

In principle, you can check a used car by contacting the competent authorities directly, but there are some nuances here. For example, if a car is on the wanted list only in one region, and is sold in another, then it will be possible to find out about it only by checking the database of the entire country. In addition, you can never be sure of the professionalism of officials - they may well miss something or unfairly perform the work, and as a result, you will have to deal with fines and bailiffs. Do not forget that in the conditions of a dynamic modern life, not everyone can physically break out of work and submit an application to the FSSP, the customs service or the traffic police. Online verification on our website saves unnecessary hassle by providing customers with a complete report and a range of benefits:

• the ability to search for information both by state number and by VIN number - you do not need to have a complete package of technical documentation for the vehicle on hand, you can even check the car without notifying the current owner;
• preparation of electronic reports - visitors to our portal will not have to wait for weeks for a response from government agencies, because the information will be presented in the form of a virtual report;
• data systematization - our service checks several databases at the same time, generating a clear report, which clearly indicates whether there are any restrictions on registration actions for the car you are interested in or not;

minimum material costs - you can familiarize yourself with the short report immediately after collecting and analyzing information on a VIN or license plate, and to study the details you will need to pay a small amount, so you should not be afraid of huge costs, especially since with the help of a check you will be able to avoid knowingly unprofitable deal.

The VIN check confirms that the car has no problems from a legal point of view. Such cars inspire more confidence and, accordingly, sell faster. Anyone who wants to inquire about the condition of a particular car can punch a car with a wine code.

Car owners who want to sell them as soon as possible may hide some problems in the operation of a technical device or other unpleasant moments. In order not to give money for useless hardware, it is worth inquiring in advance about the details of the car you looked after.

Where to find the VIN code of the car

The VIN code is the registration number assigned to the vehicle. It represents a combination of 17 symbols, which are printed on a separate plate attached to the chassis or body part. Each of these combinations is individual.

The number can also be viewed in the registration certificate of the car - it is entered there without fail. The code consists of numbers and Latin letters.

Checking the car for prohibition of registration actions:

All standard vehicle data are freely available. According to the VIN-code, you can find out the year when the car was released, the volume of the engine and its number, power and other characteristics. Using the VIN check, you can find out the following information:

• How many owners did this car have?
• Is the car stolen or pledged.
• Is there a prohibition on registration actions.
• Has the car ever been in an accident, accidents.

It is worth noting that the last point can be clarified only if the accident was registered. If, for some reason, the incident was not recorded, there will be no information about it in the databases.

Why do you need to check a car by VIN and state. number

To find out the history of any car, no complicated steps are required. You can visit and, using a special code, find out basic information about any car.

This can be very important - far from always the owner of the car who is going to sell it talks about everything frankly. If there are any problems with the documents, for example, incorrect registration, this can lead to problems when registering.

It happens that the number of the technician is interrupted, the signs on the frame are not readable, the engine number is missing. As a result of unqualified repairs or an accident, the geometry of the body may turn out to be curved, which can provoke an accident.

In progress verification will be assembled in parts information from all sources available to the traffic police service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. This includes and Insurance companies, and commercial structures.

From the received data, a single report is formed containing the maximum possible amount of information. The user receives all information regarding the car of interest online. It is also possible to receive a copy of the submitted report by e-mail.

By checking all the available information in advance, you will protect yourself from problems that you may purchase with the car.

Check the car by the VIN code of the traffic police for free

The easiest and most reliable way to do it would be to check using the official website of the traffic police. The car will be checked against several official databases, searching for matches in various sources.

The maintenance reporting is being checked, so the real mileage can be found out without problems.

To carry out the check, you need to go to the GIBDD.RF website, then you need to go to the section called "Services".

In it, go to the "Vehicle check" tab and enter the registration number of the car.

Choose the right kind of information... Under each view there will be a special button for making a request. Enter the verification code - the results can be received a few minutes later, but more often the procedure takes seconds.

Verification can be requested in cases where the numbers match exactly. If the numbers are entered incorrectly during the query, you will not be able to get the correct result. The resulting information will help you avoid getting into an unpleasant situation.

The Russian secondary market is gradually acquiring a civilized shape. Today, the history of a used car can be checked by knowing it. Some services only need it, others will ask you to indicate the series and number of the registration certificate (CTC) in addition. This information can be requested from the seller.

How to check a car for free?

There are two official state portals that provide the results of a comprehensive check: Avtokod and the traffic police website. The first provides information only to registered users. For the report, you must indicate the VIN or state number of the car, the series and the STS number. The portal will show general information about the car (factory data - color, category, engine volume and power, etc.), information about accidents, passed technical inspections, the number of owners, operation in taxi mode, the fact of being wanted.

The traffic police portal does not require registration, and it only needs a VIN code to check it. The site will not tell you about technical inspections or permits for a taxi, but there is a separate column about the restrictions imposed on registration actions. They can be, for example, due to the owner's debt.

Since the abovementioned work at the state level, they should receive the most complete information from the departments - in theory. Unfortunately, this is not so. We ran through both systems several VIN-codes of cars, the history of which we knew thoroughly (editorial and personal). The main thing that a potential buyer wants to know about is the facts of accidents. To our surprise, for three cars, the traffic police website did not know about the collisions that had occurred with them, although they did happen and were formalized as expected. Avtokod was not aware of the problematic past of only one car. Why is this happening?

Accident history

The history tracking project itself was only launched in 2014. Accidents that happened earlier might not have gotten into it. The traffic police portal honestly warns that it has data only from the beginning of 2015. However, even after this date, the information was far from being received in the database in full. Some episodes, to the luck of the sellers, may be lost. In addition, accidents registered in accordance with the European protocol are not included in the database. The fact is that information is transmitted only by the traffic police, insurance companies do not do unnecessary work. And it just implies that the collision passed by the traffic police - only the insurance company knows about it, to which the victim applied for compensation. On the other hand, registration without a traffic police call means that the car received minimal damage, and repainted parts will be noticeable during inspection. Still, remember that checking against an electronic database is not a panacea.

Number of owners by TCP

The number of owners may not say anything either. For example, one of the cars we checked, according to reports from the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate and Avtokoda, had three owners. But all this is one and the same company that changed names from time to time. It happens that a car changes private owners purely formally: for one reason or another, it is reissued to different family members. So in this case, you yourself need to ask the seller for what reasons this happened.

Information about, as our check showed, is transmitted only by the operators of the technical inspection. That is, landmarks appear only once a year or two, and for a fresh car under the age of three, they will not be at all. In addition, we all know perfectly well how easy it is today to get a diagnostic card unofficially. And when going through the inspection "by phone", nothing prevents the owner from naming a fictitious, not real, mileage. So if you keep the odometer adjustment in mind right before selling it, you can give your car a nice alibi over a few years of ownership.

Our experiment has shown that insurance companies do not yet supply vehicle verification systems with the information they have. But this would make the history of most cars on the secondary market much more transparent for the benefit of potential buyers. Apparently, the sale of diagnostic cards and crying to the authorities about the hard lot do not leave time for useful work.

Paid check by VIN number

And what about the paid ones, of which a great multitude has bred? Depending on the degree of greed and promises, they ask for a report on one car from 50 to 400 rubles or more. True, the most expensive services, as one, offer "promotions" with big discounts. We pretended to buy and ordered checks on the most "problematic" car on several sites. And ... no revelations about her were found. The same information was given to us by the portal "Autocode" - only free of charge. We highly doubt that commercial resources really have any exclusive knowledge.

Other services

If you do not trust the traffic police website and Avtokod, you can check it yourself on other portals in specific areas. The resource of the Federal Notary Chamber will tell you about finding the car in bail, the Federal Bailiff Service - about enforcement proceedings against the owner (you must indicate his full name), capital

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

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

• the possible stay of the car on the wanted list;
• carrying out a case against the car by law enforcement agencies, social security, customs

Services for free verification

• search for a car;
• restrictions on registration

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

Which verification method should you choose?

When buying a new car from the salon, you are sure that the car has not been in operation before you, which means it has no hidden problems. The situation is different with the acquisition of used vehicles (TC) - here a huge number of "pitfalls" await the future car owner.

Twisted mileage is just one of the smallest issues a former owner can hide from you. Therefore, in order to buy a "clean" car, many exhaust themselves with trips to different authorities (traffic police, RSA, ROSSTAT, etc.) and long waiting for the vehicle to be checked. But why? After all, you can find out the full history of the car without leaving your home - by VIN-code online.

1. What is VIN?
2. VIN decoding

What is VIN?

VIN-code - vehicle registration number, which traditionally consists of 17 characters, printed on a special plate (nameplate) attached to non-removable elements of the body or chassis. Each character combination is unique and based on ISO 3779 and ISO 3780 standards.

Traditionally, a nameplate with a VIN code is attached to the following units and elements of a car:

• Under the hood there is a cylinder block, a block head, a radiator frame.
• On door sills - in most cases from the driver's side.
• Under the floor trim in front of the driver's seat.
• In a special window on the windshield in the lower left corner - a typical location for modern European cars.
• Under the driver's or passenger's seat.
• On side members - mainly on vehicles with frame construction.

Also, the registration number can be found in the technical passport for the car, where it must be present without fail.

VIN decoding

As a rule, the vehicle identification number consists of Latin letters and Arabic numerals. But at the same time, you need to know that the letters O, Q and I are never used in the code. This is due to the fact that they can visually be confused with the numbers 0 and 1, respectively. This should be taken into account when rewriting the number.

An example of encoding and its decryption:

Let us dwell in more detail on the 3 sections that make up the VIN-code:

1. WMI - includes 3 characters. They contain information about the manufacturer - the code of a part of the world, a specific country, the name of the carmaker (very rarely, the third character denotes a car category).
2. VDS - consists of 6 characters, which reflect complete information about the technical characteristics of the car (model, body type, equipment, engine, transmission, etc.). The manufacturer can indicate these data in any order. The check digit in this section allows you to define a complete or partial substitution of the marking.
3. VIS - contains 8 characters. In this case, the last 4 characters are mandatory numbers. This section reflects the model year of the vehicle and the manufacturer's code, which, depending on the year of manufacture, can consist of an alphabetic or numeric coding. So, cars that rolled off the assembly line before 2000, as well as after 2009 have letter symbols. And the vehicles released in the period 2001-2009 are digital.

In some cases, these three parts (WMI, VDS, VIS) can be separated by special characters. There is nothing criminal here, and this is not a sign of a broken number. The splitting is done for readability of the code. Also on the nameplate, it is allowed to stretch the cipher into 2 lines, but in the technical passport and other documents, the registration number must be entered in 1 line.

As you can see, it is almost impossible to decrypt the VIN on your own. And what's the point if you can only find out the technical parameters. All detailed information (criminal, banking, customs, judicial history, etc.) is present only in the databases of the relevant organizations - the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, FSSP, NBKI, ROSSTAT, etc., access to which is closed from unauthorized persons. Therefore, we recommend punching the car using the specialized online service "AutoHistory".

What can you find out by the VIN-code of the car?

So, now let's deal with the question of what information about the vehicle can be found using the VIN code. As you already understood from the above, the identification number allows you to find out absolutely all the standard data:

How to find out the history of the car?

You can check all the above information in several ways:

• By yourself with official inquiries. In this case, you will have to visit all the relevant authorities, which requires more than one day of time. But the most important thing is that this requires a registration certificate for the checked car, insurance and other accompanying documentation, and therefore the presence of the real owner of the vehicle. As you can see, this method is not the most successful and convenient.
• With the help of the online service "AutoHistory". Everything is simple here - you only need a VIN-code or license plate of the car and access to the Internet. The presence of a real car owner is not required. This method is the most convenient and least expensive, and it takes a maximum of 15 minutes in time (in very rare cases - up to 1.5 hours).

A quick guide to checking a car online using a VIN code:

1. Enter the 17-digit code into the corresponding input field on the website.
2. Click on the "Check" button - you will receive a short report with general data about the car to make sure it is in our database.
3. You pay for the check.
4. Indicates your email address.
5. Receive a report with auto history.

The report is formed on the basis of the results of checking the car on the official databases of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, FSSP, ROSSTAT, NBKI and other authorities, as well as from commercial and even unofficial sources. This ensures that you receive the most complete history and truthful information. And you can check at any time convenient for you - the service works 24/7.

Our report even provides information about the real market value of the machine, depending on its condition and operating history:

The history of CARFAX is also available (if the vehicle was operated abroad) - an organization specializing in collecting various data about cars recorded in the USA and Canada:

And one last tip - if you buy a used car, do not be too lazy to punch it by the VIN code. This will save you from many excesses during operation and will allow you to buy a vehicle that will serve you faithfully for many years.
