What we can and cannot see in Czechia
We base this on the official data from Ministerstvo dopravy (dataovozidlech.cz) and what you enter from the listing — and we always show where something comes from.
What a source does not provide, we do not invent. So you know exactly what you can build on.
What the report includes
- Official vehicle data from Ministerstvo dopravy (dataovozidlech.cz), combined with the listing you enter yourself
- Known, model-specific points of attention in plain language
- Concrete questions for the seller and a test-drive checklist
What it does not include
- No inspection: we do not see the car and do not assess its technical condition
- No appraisal: the report does not replace an official valuation
- No service history: ask the seller for invoices and workshop records
- No inspection history: we do not get it as open data in this country
- No mileage history to check the odometer against
- No damage or title history
- No check for a lien or outstanding finance
- No vehicle-specific recall check — only at make and model level
- No guarantee that automatically generated estimates are correct — always double-check the important points yourself

Frequently asked questions
Where does the data come from?
From Ministerstvo dopravy (dataovozidlech.cz), the official source for vehicle data in Czechia. Plateop combines that data with the listing you enter yourself; we never fetch listings from other sites ourselves.
Do I need the VIN?
Yes, for the official data you do. The VIN is seventeen characters without the letters I, O and Q, and appears on the registration document, in the door jamb and at the base of the windshield.
What does a report cost?
95 CZK, one-time. You pay for this one report — no subscription and no account needed — and can read it straight away.
Do I need an account?
No. Plateop works without registration or login: we ask for no name, email address or password and build no profile. The list of your reports lives on your own device only, and your report is reachable through its own link.
Is this an inspection or an appraisal?
No, neither. Plateop does not see the car and does not drive it, so we do not assess its technical condition and do not issue an official value — if in doubt, always have a car inspected independently.
What can you not see in Czechia?
The inspection history, the mileage history, the damage history, and whether there is a lien on the car. We do see the data that can be traced from the VIN, the registration status, and recalls at make/model level (not vehicle-specific).
How reliable is the advice?
The advice from Plateop is a tool, not a mechanic's verdict. The automated analysis is not allowed to invent model-specific problems it has no reliable knowledge about and says so when something is unknown — always check the important points yourself.
What is in the report?
A verdict in plain language, not a data dump. A Plateop report contains what is known about this model, which risk signals we see, whether the asking price is right, which questions to ask the seller and what to watch for during the test drive.
