Check the real odometer reading and technical inspection validity
This tool provides a free VIN-based check, including PDF export, basic statistics, and charts.
You can also verify inspection validity, view historical records, and (when available) see the next inspection date.
Odometer check (free)
To run a quick, free odometer check, enter the vehicle VIN above. The system will query official inspection records, show recorded mileage over time, and compare the trend to the latest available reading. Check odometerLast update from the road vehicle registry: 09.03.2026 17:00
How do odometer rollback scams work today?
Older mechanical rollbacks have largely been replaced by digital manipulation through the diagnostic port. Scammers often target multiple control units to align a fake mileage across the engine, transmission, and dashboard. One of the harder-to-detect methods is a “mileage blocker” device hidden in wiring that prevents mileage from increasing in real time. Because modern tampering may leave no physical traces, a solid vehicle purchase process still includes diagnostics and a careful review of inspection and service history.
Why does mileage matter?
By verifying recorded mileage, you get a clearer picture of long-term wear and reduce the risk of buying a used vehicle with a rolled-back odometer — whether from a private seller or a dealership.- Wear estimate: Better sense of engine and chassis fatigue.
- Service planning: More accurate timing for key maintenance items.
- Fair price: Pay based on a more realistic vehicle history.
- Fraud detection: Extra signal against digital rollback attempts.
- Safety: Fewer surprises tied to hidden high mileage.
Technical inspection validity (free)
Periodic technical inspections are required by law. If you want to check inspection validity for free, enter the VIN and you’ll see the latest record, the inspection timeline, and (when available) the next inspection date, plus charts and history.

What do the STK stickers mean?
The red sticker on the rear plate indicates the month/year of technical inspection validity, and the green sticker indicates emissions validity. Since 2024, exact dates are not recorded on paper — validity is stored online in official registries. Stickers remain only a rough visual hint; for enforcement and resale, electronic records are what matters.
Inspection status + validity
You’ll see the current validity status, past inspection history, and the next inspection date if it exists in the dataset. Everything is shown online for free, including charts and basic stats.- Technical inspection (STK): periodic vehicle safety/roadworthiness check
- Emissions test: emissions compliance check
- Identity check: registry data match verification
- TSK: roadside technical inspection
- ADR: inspection for hazardous goods transport vehicles
