Common questions
What is Automano and how does it complement Coches.net?
Coches.net is a listings platform: it connects buyers and sellers but does not verify vehicles. Automano is the VIN verification service that fills this gap. Before contacting a Coches.net seller, paste the VIN into Automano: you instantly get a free decoder and, for EUR 7.90, a full report with confirmed identification and official recalls (EU + NHTSA) — plus the DGT informe to request for Spanish-registered cars.
Is Coches.net reliable for buying a car?
Coches.net is legitimate and very popular in Spain, but like any classifieds platform, it does not validate seller information or vehicle history. The most common risks: tampered mileage, hidden accidents, stolen vehicles and outstanding liens. A prior VIN check on Automano (free decoder, EUR 7.90 for the full report) drastically reduces this risk.
How do I verify a Coches.net listing?
Copy the VIN from the Coches.net listing, paste it into Automano's free decoder at automano.com, and review the instant results. For complete protection, purchase the full report (EUR 7.90) with confirmed identification, official recalls (EU + NHTSA) and a price range — and request the official DGT informe for the administrative history.

How to verify a Coches.net listing for free
You can verify the basics on any Coches.net listing in under two minutes — no signup, no email required.
1. Copy the VIN from the listing
Every Coches.net listing includes the VIN number. If the seller has not provided it, ask before contacting — a legitimate seller has nothing to hide.
2. Paste into Automano's free VIN decoder
Automano's free decoder instantly shows you the vehicle's make, model, year, engine, country of manufacture and any known specification flags. No signup required.
3. Check the DGT official report
Spain's DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) offers an official vehicle report (informe de vehículo, via sede.dgt.gob.es) including administrative status, liens and ITV history. Request it for any Spanish-registered car; the Automano report complements it with confirmed identification and official recalls.

Why verify with Automano before calling the Coches.net seller?
Coches.net is legitimate and very popular, but it does not validate vehicle history. Here is what you risk without a VIN check:
Odometer fraud
Manipulated mileage is the most common fraud in used car sales. Automano cross-checks mileage declarations against official records to flag inconsistencies.
Hidden accident history
A repainted panel or a chassis repair is invisible without a history check. Automano surfaces declared incident records from official databases.
Outstanding recalls
Manufacturer recalls can affect safety-critical components. Automano checks NHTSA and EU recall registers so you know before you buy.
Administrative issues
A vehicle may have a lien, an embargo or a pending ITV failure. The report shows you how to pull the official DGT informe (liens, embargoes, ITV history) so you are not buying someone else's problem.

What does the DGT say about a Coches.net car?
Spain's DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) maintains the official vehicle register: it records the administrative owner, outstanding liens (cargas), embargoes and the ITV (MOT equivalent) history. The extract (informe de vehículo) is available directly from the DGT for a small fee — request it before buying; the Automano report complements it with confirmed identification and official recalls.
How do I avoid scams on Coches.net?
Always ask for the VIN before arranging a visit. Run it through Automano's free decoder immediately — if the decoded make, model or year does not match the listing, walk away. For any car you are serious about, the EUR 7.90 full report reveals mileage fraud, hidden accidents and recall status. Never pay a deposit before seeing the car and its documentation in person.
I found a Spanish car on Coches.net from abroad — what should I check?
Cross-border purchases from Coches.net require extra due diligence. Verify the VIN with Automano (covers DGT + NHTSA + EU recall data), confirm the vehicle has no outstanding Spanish liens via the DGT report, and check if the car was originally a Spanish-market vehicle or a re-import. Automano's report covers 25 European markets and flags cross-border history anomalies.
