Auto-Records

Auto-Records offers online vehicle history checks using a vehicle identification number (VIN). The site asks customers to enter the full 17-character VIN and select the make to begin a search. Listed options include Audi, BMW, Mini, Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover, Jaguar, Volvo, Opel, Peugeot, Citroën, and Volkswagen. The company says it serves customers in multiple countries.

Launched in 2016, the service works with official sources in different countries to gather available vehicle records. Customers can request a report for a specific vehicle; the site’s sample describes fields such as vehicle information, an options or equipment list, odometer readings, and record dates. The document can help organize a pre-purchase review, but it is not a substitute for a mechanical inspection or for checking documents and history directly with the seller.

The process is digital: enter the VIN, select the make, and complete payment online. Customers can pay by card or PayPal and download the report when it is ready. The listed price is €6.99, including tax; online prices may change.

Auto-Records is operated by SIA “AUTO Tulks,” which lists a business address at Ulza iela 11 in Riga, postal code LV-1024. Customers order and receive reports online.

The coverage and contents of a report depend on records available for the vehicle and the country being checked. The report draws on records available for the vehicle and country being checked, with coverage varying by jurisdiction. The document is best understood as a records search; buyers can compare its findings with the vehicle documents and a technical inspection when considering a purchase.

The service is aimed at buyers who want to review a used vehicle’s history before making a decision and receive the information digitally. A VIN-based search, the report fields described on the site, and online delivery define the product. Riga identifies the operating company, while its customers may be located in different countries.
