Common questions

  • What is Automano and how does it complement Subito.it?

    Subito.it is een advertentieplatform: het brengt kopers en verkopers samen maar controleert geen voertuigen. Automano is de VIN-verificatiedienst die deze leemte opvult. Voordat u contact opneemt met een Subito.it-verkoper, plakt u de VIN in Automano: gratis decoder + volledig rapport voor €7,90 met bevestigde identificatie en officiële terugroepacties (EU + NHTSA) — plus het PRA-ACI-uittreksel dat u kunt opvragen voor in Italië geregistreerde auto's.

  • Is Subito.it reliable for buying a car?

    Subito.it is legitimate and very popular, but like any private listings platform it does not validate seller information. Most common fraud patterns: tampered mileage, hidden accident damage, administrative liens. A VIN check on Automano before contacting the seller dramatically reduces this risk.

  • How do I verify a Subito.it listing before contacting the seller?

    Four steps: (1) Find the VIN in the listing or ask the seller. (2) Decode it free on Automano to confirm make, model and year. (3) Check via PRA-ACI for Italian administrative history. (4) Order the Automano report at €7.90 for a complete check with KBA data and NHTSA recalls.

  • Can I verify the VIN of a Subito.it car for free?

    Yes. The Automano VIN decoder is completely free and unlimited — no signup or email required. It reveals make, model, year, engine and country of origin. The full Automano report (€7.90) adds KBA, PRA-ACI and NHTSA recall data for complete protection.

Subito.it and VIN verification: what you need to know

Subito.it (Schibsted Group) is Italy's #1 classifieds platform with millions of car listings from private sellers and dealers. It's the reference for buying a used car in Italy — but the platform offers no VIN verification or history check.

Automano is the complementary step: before contacting the seller, paste the VIN into our decoder. In seconds you know if the mileage has been tampered with, if the car was in an accident, if it has an administrative lien, or if it's subject to a manufacturer recall.

How to verify a Subito.it listing for free

Four steps to check a Subito.it car before contacting the seller:

1. Find the VIN in the listing

On Subito.it, the VIN sometimes appears in the description or photos of the vehicle registration document. Ask the seller if not shown — a trustworthy seller provides the VIN without hesitation.

2. Decode the VIN on Automano (free)

Paste the VIN into our free decoder. In seconds: make, model, year, engine, country of origin. No signup, no email.

3. Check via PRA-ACI (office or online)

Italy's Pubblico Registro Automobilistico (ACI) holds the administrative history of every Italian-registered vehicle: ownership transfers, liens and mortgages. Accessible at ACI offices or via authorised online services.

4. Get the full Automano report (€7.90)

For complete protection: PDF report with KBA, PRA-ACI and NHTSA recall data. Catches tampered odometers and undisclosed accidents that a PRA-ACI lookup alone cannot reveal.

Why verify with Automano before calling the Subito.it seller?

Four reasons to never contact a Subito.it seller without a prior check.

Tampered odometers

Tot 30% van de particulier verkochte tweedehands auto's in Italië heeft een gemanipuleerde kilometerstand. Automano bevestigt de werkelijke identiteit van het voertuig en officiële terugroepacties, en laat u zien welke officiële documenten (onderhoudsboek, keuringsrapporten) u van de verkoper moet vragen om de kilometerstand te verifiëren.

Undisclosed accidents

A Subito.it car may have been repaired after an accident without any mention in the listing. Our report crosses Italian insurance data with the international NHTSA database.

Administrative liens and mortgages

Automano checks PRA-ACI data for vehicles with administrative seizures or mortgages — a common scam on Italian listing platforms that prevents ownership transfer.

Open manufacturer recalls

An outstanding manufacturer recall is a legal obligation the seller has not met. Our report lists open NHTSA and EU recalls for the model — information Subito.it does not provide.

What does PRA-ACI reveal about a Subito.it car?

Het Italiaanse Pubblico Registro Automobilistico (ACI) bewaart de administratieve geschiedenis van elk in Italië geregistreerd voertuig: eigendomsoverdrachten, administratieve beslagen, hypotheken en doorhalingen. Het is essentieel om te controleren dat een Subito.it-voertuig geen lasten heeft die de eigendomsoverdracht zouden verhinderen. Het PRA-ACI dekt alleen in Italië geregistreerde voertuigen — bij import bevestigt Automano de identificatie en officiële terugroepacties ongeacht de herkomst, en toont u het officiële uittreksel dat u in het land van herkomst kunt opvragen.

How do I avoid scams on Subito.it when buying a car?

Most common Subito.it car scams: (1) Tampered mileage — check with Automano + KBA. (2) Hidden accident damage — get the Automano report (crosses Italian data + NHTSA). (3) Administrative lien or mortgage — checkable via PRA-ACI. (4) Remote sale fraud — never send a deposit without seeing the vehicle and checking the VIN. (5) Fake private sellers — an individual cannot legally sell more than a few cars per year.

Automano confirms the identification and official recalls (EU + NHTSA) whatever the origin — and shows you the PRA-ACI extract to request for Italian-registered cars.
