What to inspect in the preview

After you enter the VIN, the site shows the available checks. Read that overview before payment and compare it with the risk you want to investigate. If your main concern is an earlier country of registration, ask which dated records cover that period rather than relying on a broad coverage claim.

Damage, mileage and archived advertisements

Cebia lists damage records, mileage history, advertisements and photos, service records and theft checks among its categories. An old advertisement can give context to mileage or visible repairs. Compare dates carefully: several entries close together may concern the same episode, and an advertised mileage is not a certified reading.

Price, repeat checks and access

On en.cebia.com the basic vehicle check costs €23.90 including VAT, and each additional vehicle costs €11.95. You can pay by card, Google Pay or Apple Pay. A purchased report stays viewable for 30 days, and the coupon number reopens it during that time, so save a copy before access ends.

Coverage across a vehicle's life

A history report is most useful when its records cover the periods that matter to your decision. Cebia started in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, works with Autovit.ro and OLX.ro in Romania and added history checks for Poland and the Netherlands in 2025. Split the car’s life into countries and owners, then compare the entries with registration papers and invoices. A gap after importation needs evidence from the current market, even if the earlier timeline is detailed.

Turning findings into purchase checks

Request an explanation and supporting invoices for every important discrepancy. If a damage record is present, give it to the inspector before the viewing. Verify present condition, keys, identity markings and documentation separately; the existence of a report does not establish that repairs were performed correctly.

Beyond the history check

Cebia sells more than reports. In 2026, its 35th year, it launched CarAudit, an on-site inspection of a used car by a technician in the Czech Republic, Germany and Slovakia. It also offers identity checks such as VINTEST and VINFOTO and OCIS glass etching. In those three countries, a history check plus a CarAudit inspection covers both the paper trail and the car’s present condition.

What buyers say about Cebia

Cebia’s Trustpilot page is small and unclaimed: 11 reviews on 8 Nov 2026, all one-star, for a score of 2.0. They describe empty or sparse reports, a wrong model, refused refunds and a car with 15 years in Switzerland for which no data came back. Eleven reviews are too few to judge a company that has run checks since 1991, but they show the risk: you pay €23.90 whether or not records exist. On its own homepage, the company shows a 4.7 Google rating.
