Especially useful if you are new to Portugal and buying a used car here for the first time. Free during our public beta. The analysis is 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 yourself are linked directly. The report appears on this page.

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.
