Frequently asked questions
We check police and major insurance theft registers to see if the vehicle has been reported stolen and not yet recovered.
Knowingly buying a stolen vehicle is a criminal offence. Even unknowing buyers can have the vehicle seized by police with no right to compensation from the seller.
Approximately 1 in 100 cars on Irish roads is estimated to have an outstanding stolen marker. With over 100,000 vehicles reported stolen annually, the risk is real.
Police can seize the vehicle at any time. You'll be left without a car and without a refund unless you can trace the seller — which is rarely possible.
Instantly. Within seconds of entering the registration number you'll receive a clear pass/fail result with a downloadable PDF report.
A clear result means no stolen marker is recorded on our databases. Unreported or very recently stolen vehicles may not yet appear — always inspect a vehicle in person and verify the seller's identity.
