There are still many who want to buy a car over 10 years old in Germany or France at a low price (preferably for 2000-4000 Eur), without traffic accidents and who traditionally have not driven more than 170 thousand. km. This mileage figure is very popular in ads, although the actual mileage is quite different.
carVertical.lt According to the data, every tenth car inspected has an “inverted” mileage, which changes the price of the average car by 1,200 euros, or 15-20%. values of the car.
In addition, every third car of the most popular brands in its history has an accident.
Without catching, isn’t he a thief?
“Mileage correction costs up to several hundred euros, and the price of a car can increase even by several thousand,” says M.Buzelis, Autoplius.lt communication guide
And although reversing mileage is considered a crime in Lithuania, basically no one threatens these scammers, they boldly “increase” the value of the car criminally, because the seller, caught by the hand, generally says that if it turns, it’s not him but someone else. . Suppose you are a Turkish car dealer in Germany.
So the only way out is for the buyer to check how much truth there is in the seller’s words about the old man who only went to church in Germany.
Reader Egidijus shared his experience: Sellers cannot be trusted
Egidijus reader, overheated 15 minutes GAZAS decided to share its experience when explaining the mileage of the Ford S-Max, which did not correspond to the logic and reality of the Ford S-Max.
“I was looking at cars of this model. I noticed this ad, the photos showed the Swedish car registration numbers. I took advantage of this information. Because the Swedish car database can be found when a car became a technician. inspection and how many kilometers he had traveled.
I checked. It turned out that the actual mileage is 343 thousand, not 227 thousand. km as seen on the dashboard of the car being sold.

I wrote to the seller about it, told him that such things are punishable by law in Lithuania. I was fed on the roads kindly words but announcement of autoplius.lt it disappeared after a few minutes, ”Egidijus told his story.
Where to check the car mileage
If you buy a car bought in Lithuania by the previous owner, everything is much simpler. When ordering an inspection at a company service, you will also find the history of the car – for example, if warranty services were performed on time, if body repairs were ordered, and at what mileage.
According to the VIN code (body number), the history can be viewed on the website of the state-owned company Transeksta (unifying technical inspection station).
Inspection of a car brought from abroad is more complicated.
In this case, Egidijus used the Swedish car database, which can be found here. However, you must know the Swedish registration numbers.
Sweden, Denmark, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and others have such databases. Usually you don’t even need to know the language of that country to find the answers.
National databases in some countries or even parts of them are publicly available:
1. Ireland
2. Austria
3. Czech Republic
4. Denmark
5. Estonia
6. Israel

8.3. The state of North Dakota
9. Canada
10. Poland
11. Norway
12. Holland
13. France
14. Slovakia
15. Slovenia
16. Sweden
17. Switzerland (references to individual cantonal databases):
17.1 Aargau (AG)
17.2 Freiburg (FR)
17.3 Lucerne (LU)
17.4 Schaffhausen (SH)
17.5 Thesis (TI)
17.6. Valis (VS)
17.7. Cugas (ZG)
17.8. Zurich (ZH)
Not all sellers are scammers
Reader Egidijus recommends taking time to explore more ads, not necessarily of cars parked in Sweden.
You will find more than one obvious case of counterfeiting.
“But I have to admit that there are also honest sellers that really show really significant mileage. Let’s say you saw 15 years ago Škoda Octavia with a declared 86 thousand. rida When I thought that the seller had already crossed all the limits, after checking it, I discovered that it was really original ”, Egidijus is happy with the small miracles.
