How to check a car before buying for legal purity

405. Checking the legal purity of the car. — “Selecting and buying a car” on DRIVE2

Hi all. Below you will see different portals for checking the legal purity of a car. Add to bookmarks and use them when checking a used car before purchasing.
I’ll say right away that this is not a 100% guarantee of purity.

Our government does not allow all these 100% to be done , introducing new unnecessary things, and not finalizing the old ones. I already wrote a post about legal purity, but something has changed, and I want to describe it again with innovations, and go a little deeper into the process and explain some things.

All examples, all sites, etc. will be in the post.

Many people ask how to get a car registered for arrests, bonds, etc.? I always tell customers to go register with the seller. Why?

In fact, I always play it safe 100 times... In life, I am such a person. And I write about mileage for a reason, because I always calculate further investments in the car.

So, if today I pierced the car I’m buying everywhere, and everywhere is clean, this is not a guarantee that it is clean.

They could put an arrest right tomorrow... Stupidly because of nonsense, or not because of nonsense... Anything can happen, and even because of a debt on a loan for a refrigerator, your car can be impounded... Therefore, in order to protect both yourself and the client , they are going to register the buyer and the seller!

Since I have my own person in Gai, I’ve heard a lot of stories... But we went to register Cruz, and the customer says that in front of her, people didn’t register the car... They had some restrictions... And so where should they go now? Look for a seller and take money from him? This is a disastrous occupation in Russia... It’s easier to go straight with the seller and calmly register it, but when you get up, hold the money in your hands. And the owner of Cruise actually works for the authorities, and he couldn’t go himself, and he suggested something like this: you take the car, go, register it yourself, and then bring the money) Well, this is the first time in my experience) But as he said, I’ll find you 2 minutes. As a result, his wife went to Gai. The car was successfully registered.

How to break into a car? And where to do this?

1. At the traffic police on their official website. When the car is clean, you will see this picture.
If the car has any restrictions, then you will see a different picture.

And even before selling your car, you should look to see if there are any restrictions on your car. People often don’t know what they are selling. There are examples of cars that had registration restrictions on the blog.

And I simply did not post many such checks on the blog.

Subaru Legacy check.

375. Dodge Caliber.
And as you can understand, with restrictions on registration, there are both new and old cars . And even if there is no VIN, but only the body number, as on right-hand drive cars, then you can also get everything through the traffic police website. It takes 5 minutes. Checking is free!

2 . For a loan you can get a car by VIN in several banks on the website auto.ru Checking is free

3. You can check the car for pledges in the pledge register. If the loan is repaid - closed, then there will be no information there. As in the photo below. The check is free.

This portal has been operating since 2014, if I’m not mistaken , and banks obliged all pledged cars to be displayed there.

But, unfortunately, not all banks do this! But large banks, such as Sberbank, still follow the instructions. And below I will show you what an entry in the register of pledges for a car that is pledged to Sberbank looks like.

These were screenshots from a phone, that's why it looks so ugly.

There is written the full name of the owner of the car, the one who took it on credit, his passport details, as well as the registration number according to the register of pledges, and where the car is pledged. It could be a bank, it could be another organization, and it will be stated there where the vehicle is pledged.

This portal can save you from buying second-hand cars!
They often have cars that are in various types of collateral. However, the car may not necessarily be pledged to banks, and not necessarily due to a loan. Likewise, in quick loans, they can take a car as collateral, but do not note this in the registry.

Moreover, a pledge can be made between two private individuals, and it will also be valid, but will not be displayed in the register of pledges, since no one will specifically go to a notary and certify this pledge between two private individuals.
Therefore, this check is one of the stages and nothing more. But there are also innovations and read about them below.

4. The owner of the car must be identified on the website of the FSSP - Federal Bailiff Service. Just find out whether there are debts or not, and what the size of these debts are. And also, they have an application for the phone, both for iPhone and for Android, everything is very simple and convenient there. Verification is free.

It is advisable to know the date of birth of the owner of the car.
Don't be lazy and ask the seller. At the same time, you’ll find out whether he’s outbid or not; if he doesn’t immediately answer about his date of birth, but starts looking for documents and copies of his passport, then everything will be clear right away. There is also a paid application for phones to check the VIN of a car . Makes it easier for you to check.

The cost is about 160 rubles, if I'm not mistaken.

5. For loans and pledges, you can get a car on the banki.ru website; it’s paid , the price is only 300 rubles, but it can save you much more. Take the time to research the best car you are going to buy. This is what I personally do. You shouldn’t check everything, but in some cases you need to do this too. More on this at the very bottom.

To check, you will need the series and number of the PTS. It is the PTS, not the registration certificate. And also the VIN of the car. After payment, etc., you receive a PDF file in which everything is indicated. Again, it is worth saying that this does not check for all Russian banks, but only for a few others, and you can read the list of banks on the website.

When the car does not have any collateral in the verified banks, you will see this.
— INFORMATION ABOUT THE PLEDGE FOR THIS A/M IS NOT DETECTED. It happens that there was a pledge, but it has already been closed . And if it was in the banks that are on this site, then it will be written a little differently.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE PLEDGE FOR THIS A/M IS NOT DETECTED, and the end date of the pledge is written and marked below.

Innovation in Russia. You can request a certificate from a notary that the car is not pledged . The issue price is 80-100 rubles. To check, you only need the vehicle VIN. You can check this with any notary.

But again, this does not mean that there are no liens!
I'll explain. You get your car signed by a notary at 12:00. At 12:05 you buy a car. During these 5 minutes, something could happen in the registry, it is updated online, and then the car will appear as collateral. And you seem to have a piece of paper stating that it is not included in the collateral. There is nothing good about this.

There is only one advantage in this piece of paper: you will probably be recognized as a bona fide buyer, and it will be easier for you to repossess the car from banks and other organizations.
I just want you to understand that there are still risks.

Even if the notary himself gave you a certified piece of paper stating that the car is not under any collateral!
Another point, if the pledge was made between two private individuals, and is not noted in the register of pledges , then the notary will give you a piece of paper that there is no pledge on the car.

But he really is!
And then again, it will be easier for you to win the case through the court, since the notary himself gave you a certified certificate that the car is not pledged. And the people between whom there was a pledge are themselves to blame for not having it noted by the notary. And again, this does not mean that 100% is not a lien, it does not mean that 100% of you will not have problems! This only means that you will win your case in court! And this is at least some kind of guarantee for you, as a buyer, that the car will not be taken away from you.

I’ll write again, NO ONE CAN GIVE 100% guarantee of Legal Purity! ! ! ! There will always be a small % chance of problems! Just know this and tell your friends and acquaintances! No one can give a 100% guarantee of purity. Even car dealerships, issuing such a piece of paper, oh legal. cleanliness, they often sell collateral or credit cars. And the state, in turn, does everything through the ass, and does not want to protect its citizens!

Don’t be lazy to write down the VIN, PTS number and series, owner’s full name, or just take a photo, as I do, and then punch it wherever possible.

And also, it is better to fill out the DCT, which states the following: The car seller guarantees that the car he is selling (vin, make and model) has not been sold to anyone, is not mortgaged, is not in dispute or under prohibition (arrest), has no prohibitions on registration actions.

And it is advisable to register the car with the seller.

I wrote earlier that I do not check all the cars in a row on all portals, and especially not on the paid portal banking.ru.
But I also wrote that in some cases it is necessary to do this. And here's an example for you. The car is in another city. Or 5 cars. Before you go to look at them, you need to break them all. And it is advisable to break through everywhere.

You don’t want to arrive and realize that your car is on loan, pledged or seized?
What if you end up driving away because of one car, and it’s under collateral, a loan, or a lien? What then? Just go home? It’s easier not to go anywhere at all, but to break through the cars first. Right? To do this, first, we ask everyone for the VIN, PTS serial number, and the full name of the person with whom the car is registered.

It is the full name of the person who has the car registered, and not the outbid dealer himself, who is not even included in the title. And we check everywhere. Perhaps this will save you from trouble.

It may be that the car is clean everywhere, including in the pledge registry! But in fact, it was taken out on credit from some little-known bank, and they simply do not mark this pledge with a notary. This is where the banking.ru website can help you; perhaps it will contain information about the car.

Is 300 rubles expensive? And even more so for 5 cars? Believe me, it's not expensive for your peace of mind. But you will immediately weed out unnecessary options. Or you will be more confident in the car. But buying a used car is not like buying seeds; you have to spend money to protect yourself.

Be sure to check that you entered the VIN correctly on all portals! I have had situations where I made a mistake by a number or a letter! And once, having arrived in another city and seeing the PTS live, I realized that I had made a mistake in one letter. And in the photo of the PTS, which they sent me via WhatsApp, it was hard to see. I immediately checked everything from my phone.

And as you can see, the car was pledged to Sberbank. These phone screenshots are just because of my mistake. Everyone makes mistakes, but I don’t have the right to do so, so I double-check everything several times.

The issue was resolved as easily as possible, we went and paid the remaining amount for the car, received a piece of paper from Sberbank stating that the car was no longer pledged to the bank and that was the end of it.

And the owner of the car said that after the transaction he would have closed the loan anyway! But why do you need these risks? It’s easier to pay everything in front of you right away than to think later whether he will close the loan with this money? Or will he just buy another car, and continue to pay off the loan little by little... and will he pay it off at all...? And this particular seller became my customer in the future.

That's all I wanted to say. Peace for everyone. Be careful when buying a used car, reduce your risks to a minimum. And write all your stories in the comments.

How to check a car before buying for legal purity

Before completing the transaction, the buyer needs to check the car before purchase for legal purity.

When transferring funds to the seller, the future owner must be confident in the success of the purchase and sale transaction and safe further operation.

The legal purity of the transaction is understood as the compliance of the indicators and characteristics of the vehicle with the indicators declared by the manufacturer and the approved provisions of the law.

What is included in the concept of legal purity?

When planning to re-register a car under a purchase and sale transaction, the buyer must check:

• legal compliance of documents;
• transparency and legality of the history of transport operation;
• the design of the vehicle to identify facts of technical interference;

Legally clean vehicles have no problems when registering with the traffic police and can be allowed to operate on the roads.

Possible problems

If you are not careful, the motorist will inevitably face very unpleasant consequences. Common car problems include:

• presence of a criminal history (cars were involved in any crimes, the perpetrators of which have not yet been identified, the car was involved in fatal accidents, etc.);
• collateral property, the presence of encumbrances during lending (the car is pledged by the bank due to the loan;
• vehicles with identified interference in the design, assembly and disassembly measures taken for the purpose of passing customs;
• cars that have problems with registration documents (presence of a ban on operation and registration).

Until recently, buying a used car on the market was a great danger, and the risk of encountering forged documents and problems with the car was great. However, nowadays motorists have learned to cope with checking their car and its documents.

Checking vehicle documentation

There are several ways to determine the success of a future transaction. One of the main attributes of a successful transaction is complete order with documents that will allow you to safely use the product and register it with the state traffic inspectorate.

If precautions are not taken, the buyer risks being left without money and without a car. Verification of documents is their complete availability, authenticity and correctness of preparation.

The vehicle owner is required to submit the following documents for the transaction:

1. PTS (short name for vehicle passport). This is the main document for movable property, confirming the ownership of the seller.
2. Registration certificate or registration certificate. The document reflects the main technical characteristics and condition of the car.
3. Notarized power of attorney when completing a transaction through a representative of the seller.

After all the documents have been checked, we can say with greater confidence that the car is legally clean.

PTS

The document is recognized as the main one, with the help of which the buyer can find out about the year of production, the origin of the car, and the list of persons who have ever owned it.

You should be careful when the seller submits a duplicate document, as there is a high risk of encountering scammers who decide to sell the car, which serves as collateral with the creditor bank.

The law provides for the right to a duplicate of automobile documentation in case of loss, lack of free lines for recording, or wear and tear (damage).

Having a photocopy of the original title will allow you to be sure that the transaction will be recognized as legally significant and legal. The document is checked visually and only then proceeds to studying information about the owners.

Check by VIN

A special code must be indicated in the documentation for the car being sold. The VIN number contains information about the car's production date, characteristics, and manufacturer.

You can check the number on many Internet resources in the country, but one of the most common is Auto.ru, which provides the most complete information about the car.

 You can find out the number you are looking for and make a comparison by the combination of number signs, which is often indicated under the hood, the driver's door arch, and the windshield area.

The VIN verification process allows you to quickly and reliably obtain information about the compliance of the planned purchase and sale with the parameters of a legally clean transaction.

Checking the VIN is one of the most reliable ways to identify the risk of a problem car. It is advisable that before the inspection the car is still registered in the traffic police database as the seller’s vehicle. This will simplify the verification process at your local office. The inspector will check the number against a single database that stores registration records for vehicles throughout the country.

Using VIN they check:

• possibility of purchasing a stolen car;
• information about searching for funds;
• presence/absence of arrest due to a previous court order:
• risk of restrictions in registration actions;
• presence of collateral.

Problems with a credit car

One of the greatest dangers is buying a car that is under encumbrance when applying for a loan. Some borrowers, without waiting for the end of loan payments, sell the property, acting according to their own financial needs.

An indicator of a legally clean transaction is the presence of the original PTS. This method does not always require the withdrawal of the vehicle for storage until the loan is completely closed.

If a collateral car is purchased, the loan must be closed, and the seller provides:

• bank certificate confirming the closure of the credit line;
• agreement on the purchase of a car in the showroom;
• receipt for the amount paid.

The absence of these documents represents a big risk for the buyer, so it is better to refuse such an acquisition.

Purchasing a car purchased on a car loan is only possible if the seller, in the presence of the buyer, deposits funds to fully repay the loan, and the bank issues an original title.

If there are doubts about the car, you can include a clause in the sales contract stating that the seller provides guarantees that the car is not collateral. The purchase price must be stated as actual. This will allow the buyer to return funds if the seller was dishonest and the car turned out to be a credit one.

Online services

Not only an outstanding car loan can limit the right to dispose of a vehicle. When completing a transaction, difficulties may arise for other reasons:

• wanted car;
• injunction;
• restrictions on registration actions by bailiffs.

If a registration restriction is set, this means that it is impossible to sell, exchange, or even deregister.

For security reasons, it is strongly recommended to check the machine using useful online resources:

1. Official portal of the State Traffic Inspectorate (vehicle inspection).
2. Internet resource dedicated to cars Auto.ru.
3. Website of the Bailiff Service (checking the owner for the absence of registration restrictions, the right to dispose of property).
4. Website of the Register of Pledges (information about the presence of an outstanding loan, where the car is listed as collateral).

Video about checking a car

Thus, there are many resources that check the car and the owner for the absence of legal problems when re-registering ownership.

Why do you need to check the legal purity of a car before purchasing?

Checking for legal purity will protect you from buying a car:

• With a ban on registration with the traffic police;
• Hijacked;
• Under arrest by bailiffs;
• Pledged by the bank;
• Damaged or with twisted mileage;
• With a history of working in a taxi.

And if the wrong mileage is a relatively minor nuisance, then buying a car that is stolen or under arrest will lead to the loss of both money and the car. That is why the check for arrest/pledge/theft must be taken especially seriously.

How to check a used car before purchasing for legal purity?

Checking your car for cleanliness is very easy if you have the necessary information on the car. What data is needed for this:

The most important tool for checking a vehicle's history is the VIN. With its help, you can check cars before purchasing based on arrests and restrictions, find information about the actual mileage of the car, work in a taxi, deposits, etc.

1. Last name, first name and date of birth of the owner.

The seller’s personal data will help ensure that he has no debts to the Federal Bailiff Service (FSSP), which means that the chances that the car is under arrest by the bailiffs are also reduced.

If you don't want to be deceived, don't trust anyone. Even the most honest seller will not tell you about all the problems of the car, but what a dishonest one is capable of - you can guess for yourself. Therefore, it is in your best interests to check not only the technical part of the car, but also the legal part - after all, it is the legal component that brings the most serious problems.

So, what you need to do before buying a used car:

• Make sure that the VIN code is not interrupted and meets the standards;
• Using the VIN, check the car for theft, seizure and credit;
• Find out if the driver has debts.

Please note: Even if the car is not under arrest now, it is quite possible that it will be arrested tomorrow. Therefore, be sure to make sure that the owner does not have open enforcement proceedings on the FSSP website (read how to do this at the end of the article).

You can get a car history either for free or for money. To save time and not check each aspect of the vehicle’s history separately, it is better to immediately order a full report from an auto expert. Moreover, all the information cannot be found in open sources, and paid reports cost no more than 400 rubles.

As we already said, the VIN is necessary to check the legal history of the car. But how to check a car if there is no VIN?

To check a car that does not have an identification number, you should know:

You can check a car for free, if there is no vin, using the body or chassis number on the official website of the traffic police. Here you will receive information whether the car is wanted, whether it was involved in an accident and whether it can be registered.

In cases where for some reason you do not know the VIN number, you can check the car before buying it in person using its license plate number. A complete history check by license plate number is available on our website.

A good way to check the legal purity of a car before purchasing in Moscow without a VIN code is using the Autocode portal. The search is free, but only works for cars registered in Moscow and the Moscow region. On Autocode you will receive the same information on the car as on the traffic police website.

As for where to check the car before purchasing using the traffic police database, you can do this on our website. The check is paid (RUB 292), but in its results you will receive a full report on the car, namely:

• VIN code compliance with standards;
• Theft, bail, arrest;
• Participation in an accident;
• Real mileage;
• Insurance cases;
• Taxi service
• Number of owners, etc.

All data is collected from official sources - databases of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, the Russian Union of Auto Insurers, the FSSP, the Credit History Agency, the Federal Customs Service and others.

To check a used car before purchasing from an auto expert, enter the VIN code or license plate number of the car in the form below.

A full report on the car for only 292 rubles. You can save tens of thousands by not buying a car with defects!

If you want to find out the history of a car for free, then one site will not do. You will have to use several sources at once. So, what free resources are there for checking a car and what can you find on them:

Official website of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate (gibdd.ru).

Gibdd.ru provides the most detailed information about cars from all free official resources. Here you can find out:

• the number of vehicle owners and its registration history;
• information about the participation of a car in an accident over the past 2 years;
• whether the car is wanted;
• Are there registration restrictions on vehicles?

How to get your car checked for free using the traffic police database:

On the main page of the site, select the “Services” section and go to “Car Check”.

Enter the VIN code in the line and click on “Request Verification”.

Autocode portal (avtokod.mos.ru).

Approximately the same information on the history of the car is available here as on the State Traffic Inspectorate website. However, only those cars that are registered in Moscow or the Moscow region can be punched. Online car checking using databases is carried out free of charge using:

• VIN code;
• By license plate and STS.

To use the service, use the special window on the main page of the site or select “Car check” / “Autohistory”.

Register of notifications of pledge of movable property (reestr-zalogov.ru).

Here, using the VIN code, you can find out for free whether the car is pledged. To do this, select the “Find in the registry” / “By information about the collateral” tab, enter the VIN and click “Find”.

Official website of the FSSP (fssprus.ru).

Here anyone can find out about the presence of debts with bailiffs by last name, first name and region of residence. To make your search more accurate, find out the seller’s date of birth and use the advanced search. If the seller has large debts, then it is likely that the car is already under arrest by bailiffs or will fall under arrest in the near future.

To check the seller for debt, enter his personal data in the field on the main page of the site.

We hope that now the question of how to penetrate the car into the database will not cause difficulties.

Remember, a free car history search will not help to identify incorrect mileage or facts about the vehicle being used in a taxi, but even it will be extremely useful if the car is stolen or there are registration restrictions on it.

And if you have seriously decided to purchase a car, we strongly advise you to order a full legal report - with its help you will reduce the chances of being deceived to a minimum and will not fall into the hands of scammers.

How to check the legal purity of a car when purchasing?

Undoubtedly, every car buyer does not want to face the problem of the goods being pledged or seized. Whereas today you can check the legal purity of a car in a few minutes.

It is unwise to purchase a car, even in amazing condition, if it is associated with serious legal problems. In this case, the buyer risks not only not receiving the goods, but also losing the money spent for it.

Not only that, in some cases buyers end up in jail for a criminal offense committed by another person (the seller).

Therefore, checking a car for legal purity requires seriousness; neglecting it is fraught with the indicated consequences.

The concept of legal purity of a car

The problem of checking the legal purity of a car is discussed in many forums and publications. So what is meant by the concept of “legal purity” of a car?

In short, this is complete compliance with all information about the car and its characteristics declared by the manufacturer, as well as compliance with the regulations of the state where the car is sold.

In more detail, the concept of “legal purity” reflects the following:

• documentation legal purity;
• legal clean operating history of the vehicle;
• correspondence to reality;
• absence of interference in the design of the car in technical terms, indicating a criminal attempt to legalize the car;
• legal cleanliness also indicates the absence of problems with registration with the traffic police.

Here it should be understood that the sale may be legal, but due to some aspects, according to the general rules, driving will be prohibited. A striking example of this is the purchase of right-hand drive cars in the Republic of Kazakhstan: you can sell them, but you can’t drive on public roads.

Possible legal problems with cars

The following list reflects the most common legal problems:

• cars with changes in design are vehicles that have undergone disassembly and assembly manipulations to cross customs at lower duty rates (“cuts”, “carpiles”, etc.);
• cars with documentation problems - this includes registration bans, just a package of documents that arouses suspicion, etc.;
• criminal cars – related to unclosed criminal cases of car theft or other serious crimes;
• cars associated with encumbrances on loans, collateral, etc.

Previously, it was very difficult to deal with these problems; car markets were practically overflowing with problematic cars, which is why buyers could not fully check them for legal purity.

Today, this problem has been eliminated by law, and several online resources have been developed to check a car, which provide information on the marking or registration data of the car.

But even these checks do not provide a 100% guarantee that the buyer will not encounter legally unclean goods. Therefore, a comprehensive check is recommended.

Unlike the legal one, the technical side of the inspection will not be difficult for those who understand cars; in extreme cases, you can invite a specialist to diagnose and assess the condition.

For legal verification, previously information about theft, pledge, etc. could only be found at the traffic police department. Today you can check it within 10-15 minutes at home absolutely free on the official website of the traffic police and some other resources.

Checking vehicle documents

To avoid any disagreements regarding the package of documents, it is recommended to clarify even during the first telephone conversation whether all vehicle and personal documents have been collected to complete the transaction. If he claims that everything is available, it is better to warn in advance that the documents will be checked.

If the seller agrees, you can safely make an appointment and check personal and vehicle documents, the main one of which is the title. If the seller’s passport is forgotten at home, and the title is registered in the name of a third party, it is better to refrain from such a purchase.

After the initial check of the package of documents, you should immediately photocopy them and check them on several resources.

Checking car markings

In addition, it is mandatory to check the car’s markings (in particular, for interruptions in the markings of the engine, body, chassis, or surface welding). Labeling changes are often associated with crime or clones.

The markings must match the data in the documents. In addition, it would not be superfluous to inspect the area where the nameplates are attached and the body near them for the presence of non-factory welding.

If the data does not match the documents or there is a suspicion that the markings have changed, an examination is required: private or from the traffic police.
