Biography of the vehicle

It has detailed information about the car itself and the answer to two important questions: what is the story of the transport and who sells it. The documents must be seen before the start of the car, and it makes sense to check them “alive”. Therefore, ask the seller to take the TCP and passport to meet. First you need to check whether the car is genuine, then “pierce” the car on the TCP, and only after that proceed with the actual verification of the car itself.

How to check the car’s TCP 1. Make sure that you are conducting a dialogue with the owner of the car. It must be inscribed in the TCP, the car - to be registered. To do this, ask the seller’s passport and compare the data with those indicated in the last field with the owners. Before going to the inspection, find out where the selected model has a VIN code, so as not to look for it in place.

Most often, it is located on the rack of the driver's door, under the windshield, on a motor shield, on a cup of front suspension or under a passenger seat. Check if all the characteristics declared in the ad are true. Sometimes sellers intentionally or accidentally indicate incorrect data - the year of release often write a year of purchase, engine volume, power and other parameters.

For example, a 2-liter Ford Focus of the year in reality can be the same “focus”, but, for example, either on the contrary, or with a volume of only 1.6 liters. Original or duplicate. Check that in front of you is the original TCP or its duplicate. The manufacturer issues TCP if the car is assembled in Russia. Customs-in the event that the car is imported from abroad.

What does the PTS look like an original car? Passport of the vehicle sample. The original was issued by the Renault plant duplicate the TCP duplicate is accompanied by a special mark and, in rare cases, a seal on the first page. In a special mark, pay attention to the date of issuance of the previous document, it should coincide with the year of the car, otherwise you have a duplicate duplicate in front of you.

But there is an exception-used cars imported from abroad.

If you are in front of you, then the date of issuance of the previous document must be compared with the date of import. Information about the owners. How many of them were, how long each of them owned the car, whether the car was registered and in which cities this happened. At this stage, discrepancies often arise with the "legend" of the seller. Special marks. Pay attention to the special marks that are put in the left column of each page.

There are no single register of such marks: the authorities will consider it necessary. Almost any intervention in this marking leads to issues with registration and further sale. Do not forget to study the TCP on both sides both from the photo and live. The marks are contained both with the front and the back. A special mark says that the car conducted a forensic examination what is important to learn about owners from the vehicle passport how to find out how many owners on TCP?

To do this, pay attention to the corresponding fields of the document. The first entry. Most often there is a dealer or representation of the brand. It is important to find out if the car was registered, whether the numbers were issued. If so, then it is possible that transport was used as a premium or for test drives. The first entry in the TCP. The official dealer and the car is registered with the perfect vehicle passport with one owner.

Alas, even one individual as an owner does not serve as a guarantee of a good state of the machine. Do not forget that even without a taxi or car sharing license, the car could rent out. In recent years, this has gained a significant scale. Yurlito in the list of owners. This is a reason to be a guarantee, since the car at that time could, for example, be used as a taxi.

Often, cars that are owned by the company go a lot and no one regrets them. STS numbers of previous owners. The first two digits are the registration region. With their help, you can understand in which cities the car was registered. They may differ from the region on license plates. The number of owners. There is a certain type of car that often change the owners, for example, 3-4 per year, even being completely fresh.

Several notes of one owner. This happens, for example, when replacing license plates, STS or a change in registration. There is nothing wrong with that. Free space. Pay attention to whether there are free columns in the TCP to make a new owner. If they are not, the seller must receive a duplicate before the conclusion of the contract. Do not forget to photograph the original TCP, as it is not attached to duplicate.

A duplicate or non -original TCP can be issued for two reasons, and both of them will be reflected in special marks. Disposal: The owner comes to the traffic police, passes his vehicle’s passport and receives a new one with a special mark - “instead of the utilized”. Most often, the lack of space is the reason - the older the car, the more the owners change. The replacement of TCP may be associated with the fact that the document was destroyed, broke or became unusable.In the worst case, the TCPs are changed to hide the information, for example, about working in a taxi or stay in certain regions.

Insurance companies refuse to apply for a policy. Check this point from your insurance before buying a car. A duplicate in return for the utilized is not always a problem. In any TCP, sooner or later the place can end. Nevertheless, it is important to pay attention to the details: the age of the car, the presence of a copy of the original TCP and the time of ownership of each of the owners.

This is also not a disaster - we even have an instruction on how to restore TCP. But it is important to understand: it is difficult to lose a car passport - this is a document that is not carried with you. It lies at home and in most cases is used only twice: when buying and selling. The presence of a duplicate in return for the lost original may be much more dangerous.

Often, a machine with such documents becomes the subject of a property dispute, especially if the TCP duplicate is recently issued. Previously, such a TCP could indicate a “credit machine”, since banks often took the original document when issuing a loan. In addition, the original of the lost TCP could simply sell and use in criminal schemes - for example, with "doubles".

Be sure to read how not to buy a two-two car. You can try to break through the car on the TCP, but it’s better not to take risks and still abandon a car with a lost passport. What if the car passport is electronic for cars, the paper TCP is no longer available after November, instead of it - electronic. For sale, the owner can order a discharge from the database by car number. As an option - to demonstrate a digital passport.

A potential buyer can also get an extract. If you are not the owner of the car, you will not be provided with all the data, so it’s better to ask the seller to make an extract. What to do if the car is not selling a car recently, a situation has been increasingly arising when the seller does not appear in the TCP. In this case, he should have a valid general power of attorney.

It can be both handwritten and issued by a notary. We already wrote about this in detail. Another situation when the seller has a contract of sale with the previous owner in the hands, and his signature is in the TCP. In this case, the seller must first fit into the TCP, ideally register the car and only then make a deal with you. If the seller has neither a power of attorney, nor a DCP with the previous owner, then such a car cannot be bought, in spite of any “legends”.

Legally, a person has nothing to do with the car. When purchasing it, you risk losing both a car and money.
