Frequently asked questions
Do I need the VIN?
Yes, for the official data you do. The VIN is seventeen characters without the letters I, O and Q. You'll find it on the registration document. Also in the door jamb and on the dashboard by the windscreen.
What does a report cost?
A full purchase report costs $6.49, a one-time payment. No account and no subscription. You see the preview first and decide after.
What if I'm not happy with the report?
Then you get your money back. Get in touch within 14 days of purchase via the contact page. We refund the full amount. You don't need to give a reason.
How fast do I get the report?
Usually one to a few minutes. The report is ready as soon as the analysis finishes.
Why pay when there's a free vehicle check?
A free vehicle check gives separate register data. For example: the year of manufacture, how long the inspection is valid, and the mileage verdict. Plateop pulls the same official data and does what a standalone check does not. We weigh everything into one verdict and look up known problems for this model. We judge the asking price and turn it into seller questions and a test drive checklist. You see the preview first and decide after that.
Do I need an account?
No. Plateop works without an account. We ask for no name, email address or password. We build no profile. You can reach your report through its own link.
How reliable is the advice?
The advice from Plateop is a tool, not a mechanic's verdict. We only name problems for this model when there is enough reliable knowledge. If we do not know something, we say so.
