Reply To: French Ownership History?

[1166Participant]

Thank you.

This site seems to provide a free certificate confirming my car is not stolen; and that there are no outstanding problems concerning the ownership and registration. From the French logbook information which I have entered, it has recognised my French registration number and has identified that my car is a Citroen and it shows the correct chassis number. This appears to offer some reassurance for new owners or potential buyers, but there is no additional past ownership information.

Other websites lead back to the same historvec website or they only deal with modern vehicles.

This site offers a report for one vehicle for 31.99 euro. It is not clear to me if the scope of this report is much more than that available free of charge at the historvec website. Again this could be aimed at much more modern vehicles, but it says the report can include –

“ Des informations concernant les propriétaires passés, les accidents, les vols et les relevés kilométriques” – it isn’t confirmed that is what the report for my car would actually include.

Given my rudimentary knowledge of the French language, I am reluctant to risk paying for a report which may be largely blank. Maybe your spies will come back with some reassurance or guidance. Let’s wait and see.

Thanks again for your help.
