Buy a used car in Portugal
Check what a listing tells you, what it doesn't, and which questions and inspections come before any payment.
Car Check
Paste a listing. See what it hides in seconds.
One payment unlocks the report. The analysis is then fully automated: the listing is read, the stated facts are separated from the gaps, the Portuguese registration, inspection and tax requirements are matched to it, and the official portals where you verify each point are linked directly. The report appears on this page.

This report is automated decision support, not a valuation, legal opinion, survey or mechanical inspection. It never tells you whether to buy. Always confirm figures on the official portal and use a licensed professional where one is required.
What the automated report always covers
The facts and the gaps
- Everything the listing states: make, model, version, year, mileage, fuel, price, seller type, service claims.
- What is absent and matters: matrícula and VIN, documento único automóvel, IPO inspection history, service record.
- Whether the vehicle could carry a reserva de propriedade, finance charge or seizure.
- Imported-vehicle signals, and mileage claims without evidence.
Costs, questions and next steps
- The costs that follow the purchase: ownership transfer registration, IUC, insurance, inspection, and ISV if imported.
- Official simulators rather than invented amounts.
- Precise questions for the seller, written from this specific listing.
- The mechanical and documentary checks to insist on before any payment.
What this is not
We are not a dealer and we never guarantee the condition of a vehicle or tell you whether to buy it. The report shows what is stated, what is missing and where to confirm it. An independent mechanical inspection remains essential before you pay anything.
