About Plateop

Plateop helps you judge whether a used car is a sensible buy β€” before you pay.

What we make

You enter a car β€” depending on the country by licence plate, VIN or manually β€” and optionally paste in the listing. From that we build one readable purchase report with a clear verdict: strengths and weaknesses, questions for the seller and points of attention for the test drive. One clear piece of advice, not a data dump.

Where the data comes from

In each country we use the official vehicle register where we can; which source that is for this country is shown at the bottom of every page. In countries without a register we are allowed to query, you enter the details yourself β€” and the report says honestly that they are unverified.

Honest about what we don't know

Every fact in the report carries its origin. When data is missing we say so β€” we never fill in an invented number. The advice is automated and is not an appraisal or an inspection; when in doubt, always have the car inspected independently.

Free and without an account

Plateop is free to use and works without registration. We don't build a user profile and we don't use advertising tracking; the "My cars" list is stored only on your own device.
