The vehicle-history checks US-centric APIs don't offer: stolen-vehicle status from 5 European national registers, odometer history, inspection records, and full VIN decoding — one REST API.

}Marketplaces, dealers, insurers, and car-buying apps use these four endpoints together to build a complete European vehicle background report.
Query 5 European national stolen-vehicle registers — Slovakia, Czechia, Slovenia, Hungary, Romania — with a single VIN call.
Historical odometer readings to detect rollback fraud before a purchase.
Official vehicle inspection history — Slovakia today, more countries coming.
Full specifications for any 17-character VIN: make, model, engine, transmission, body style.
Most vehicle-data APIs are built around US data sources — VIN decoding via NHTSA, US dealer listings, US market values. That leaves developers building for Europe without the checks that matter most in a used-car transaction: is it stolen, is the odometer honest, and did it pass inspection?
CarAPI.dev queries official European sources directly: national stolen-vehicle registers in Slovakia, Czechia, Slovenia, Hungary and Romania, plate-to-VIN resolution for 6 countries, market valuations by European country, and EV charging locations across the continent.
Building an AI agent instead of an app? The same checks are available as tools on our MCP server, including a composite buyer-report tool that runs decode + stolen + mileage + inspection in one call.
Free tier with 100 requests/month. Your first stolen-vehicle check is one curl command away.
