How it Works
Everything about a vehicle.
Before you buy.
Kenya's first vehicle history intelligence platform, built on 13 verified data sources. One search reveals what a seller hopes you never find out.
Process
Three steps to the full picture
01
Search by plate or VIN
Enter any Kenyan number plate or 17-character VIN. We support all plate formats including standard KXX 000X, government GK, diplomatic CD, UN, and older series.
02
Get a free stolen check instantly
Every search runs a stolen vehicle check across our community database by both plate and VIN. A red alert appears immediately if a report exists. No account, no credits required.
03
Unlock the full history report
Use 1 credit to unlock ownership history, damage records, odometer analysis, import records, and more. Credits never expire.
This is what buyers see when a vehicle has an active stolen report. The alert appears on every search for that plate or VIN, for free, with no account required. This is a public safety feature and cannot be hidden.
