Common questions
What is Autovit?
Autovit (autovit.ro, autovit.pl via OTOMOTO) is OLX Group's leading car-listings marketplace in Romania and Poland. It's a platform for buying and selling used cars via private and dealer listings — not a vehicle history or verification service. Sellers self-report all vehicle data.
Is Autovit safe to buy from?
Autovit is a legitimate platform, but like all classifieds marketplaces it relies on seller honesty. Common risks include rolled-back odometers, undisclosed accident damage, and misrepresented service history. Running an independent VIN check on Automano before visiting a seller is the standard precaution.
How do I verify an Autovit listing for free?
Copy the VIN from the Autovit listing, paste it into Automano's free decoder, then check the official RAR portal (rarom.ro) for Romanian cars or historiapojazdu.gov.pl for Polish cars. These three steps cost nothing and cover the most common fraud vectors.
Does Automano work for Romanian and Polish cars?
We don't integrate the RAR or CEPiK extracts directly — those are available only through the official channels (rarom.ro «Istoric Vehicul» and historiapojazdu.gov.pl). The Automano report gives you the vehicle's full identification and official recalls, and shows you exactly which official extracts to request and how to read them.
What is the difference between RAR (Romania) and CEPiK (Poland)?
RAR (Registrul Auto Român) is the Romanian vehicle authority that maintains ITP (technical inspection) records, including odometer readings at each inspection. CEPiK (Centralna Ewidencja Pojazdów i Kierowców) is Poland's central vehicle and driver register. Both are official government databases, accessible through their public channels (rarom.ro, historiapojazdu.gov.pl). The Automano report complements those extracts with confirmed vehicle identification and official recalls.

What is Autovit — and why you need a VIN check before buying
Autovit (autovit.ro, autovit.pl via OTOMOTO) is OLX Group's car-listings marketplace, dominant in Romania and Poland. It's a classified-ads platform — not a vehicle history checker. Sellers self-report mileage, damage and service history.
That's where Automano comes in. Before driving 200 km to see a car, paste the VIN: you get the vehicle's full identification, official recalls (EU + NHTSA) and typical price range — plus a seller question list and the official extracts to request (RAR history, ITP proof). One report, no signup needed.

How to verify an Autovit listing for free — step by step
Before you contact the seller or book a viewing, run these four checks. All free.
1. Copy the VIN from the listing
Every Autovit listing must display the VIN (number de șasiu / numer VIN). Find it in the listing details or ask the seller. A 17-character alphanumeric code is what you need.
2. Decode the VIN on Automano
Paste the VIN into Automano's free decoder. You instantly see make, model, engine, country of manufacture and factory options — verifying the listing's basic claims at no cost.
3. Check the official registry
For Romanian cars: check rarom.ro for ITP (technical inspection) history. For Polish cars: check historiapojazdu.gov.pl (CEPiK). Both are free government portals that reveal mileage at each inspection.
4. Get the full Automano report before you go
For €7.90, Automano's full report gives you the vehicle's confirmed identification, open recalls (EU + NHTSA), the model's real price range and a checklist to run with the seller. Cheaper than a single train ticket, and it can save you from a €10,000 mistake.

What's the difference between Autovit and Automano?
Autovit is a car-listings marketplace — you browse ads and contact sellers. Automano is a vehicle verification tool — you paste a VIN and get the vehicle's official identification and recalls. They are complementary: find the car on Autovit, verify it on Automano before you commit.
I'm buying a Romanian car from Poland (or vice versa) — does Automano cover that?
Yes — for a car that has moved between countries, the VIN is the one constant identifier. Automano confirms the vehicle's identity and recalls regardless of registration country, and for the cross-border paper trail it shows you the official extracts to request in each country (RAR in Romania, CEPiK in Poland).
