€1.99 with a check · €2.99 on its own
Exactly how a car left the factory
The manufacturer's own build record for one chassis: the paint name and code, the interior trim, the engine and gearbox codes, and every option fitted on the line — in the manufacturer's own words, not an interpretation of a photo or the last advert.
Write the advert once
The exact factory colour name and code, and the options list, straight from the manufacturer — no guessing from a photo or the last advert.
Appraise with confidence
Know whether the options pack the seller claims was actually fitted before you price the car, not after.
Settle it with a buyer
If a buyer doubts the spec is genuine, the answer comes from the factory record rather than from you.
You are only charged if the sheet comes back. Nothing found, nothing to pay.

What comes back
The paint name and its factory code
The code the body shop needs, not a colour you matched by eye.
Interior trim, engine and gearbox codes
As the manufacturer recorded them against that chassis.
Every factory-fitted option
Usually over a hundred codes, grouped and in plain words where the manufacturer gave them.
What was deliberately left off
Recorded absences — no sunroof, no tow bar — so you are not guessing from a gap.
What it is not
- Not a provenance check. It says nothing about outstanding finance, theft or an insurance write-off.
- Not a valuation, and not the original list prices. The manufacturer sends the codes and their descriptions, not what each one cost.
- Not a service history. That is the separate check, and the two can sit on one report.
- Not the same length on every car. An older or lightly optioned car genuinely has a short list — a 2003 car came back with eleven codes, and that was its whole specification.
- Not always in English. The descriptions are the manufacturer's own, so a car built for another market can carry some of them in that market's language. The codes are the same either way.
