China Vehicle Verification: VIN, Photos and Condition

Service scope

Vehicle-specific verification

Verification applies to the selected vehicle, not a model marketing image. The scope is agreed before payment and depends on vehicle and data access.

China VIN check: what to compare before payment

A VIN identifies a vehicle; it does not by itself establish the car’s present condition. Match the identifier and records to current evidence of the car being offered.

Match the identityCompare the available VIN or frame number, data plate, configuration sheet and transaction documents. Clarify any mismatch before selecting the vehicle.
Check the vehicle evidenceRequest dated exterior, interior, dashboard and start-up photos or video. Confirm the exact trim, production date, mileage and registration status with the supplier.
Agree the inspection scopeFor used vehicles, state which paint, underbody, diagnostic or battery checks you need. A missing test result stays unverified; an estimate is not a substitute.
Record the result and limitsAsk which records were available, what was actually inspected, when it was checked and what remains unknown. Match the agreed vehicle and evidence to the written quotation.

You can send a model and destination first, or include an existing VIN and the questions you need answered. Access to a particular record or diagnostic test is confirmed individually.

What does the photo and video inspection cover?

The areas are agreed in advance. Exterior, cabin, start-up, dashboard and specific concern areas can usually be requested.
