Buying a used Chinese car in Pakistan? Check the chassis number online before you pay. See the brand, model and year for free in seconds — for Changan, MG, Haval, BAIC, Chery and other China-built cars — then open the full history report if you need it.
The free check reads the chassis number of a China-built car, so you can confirm it matches the seller's advert and the registration papers before anything else.
When the car looks right and you are close to buying, the paid reports add the records a test drive cannot show: specifications and valuation (Basic); accident count, damaged areas, title and ownership history (Standard); and insurance claims, mileage and maintenance records in China (Premium).
It is on the registration book or smart card, stamped on the body (often under the passenger seat, on the firewall or the door pillar), and on a plate at the base of the windscreen on many cars.
Type the full number without spaces, add your email, and open the free preview. It takes a few seconds.
Check the brand, model and year in the preview against the advert and papers. If everything matches and you are serious, unlock the full history report.
Yes, for Chinese vehicles. Enter the 17-character chassis number and your email, and the free preview shows the brand, model, year and manufacturer. Accident, mileage and ownership history are part of the paid full report — you only pay if you need it.
Yes. The check runs online from anywhere in Pakistan — Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Peshawar or anywhere else — on mobile or desktop. There is nothing to install and no office visit.
No, and you should run both. Your provincial Excise & Taxation portal (MTMIS in Punjab, and the Sindh, KP and Islamabad Excise portals) confirms the local registration: owner, token tax and registration status. A chassis number check tells you what the car is and, for imports, what happened to it before it reached Pakistan.
No. ChineseVIN covers Chinese-made vehicles only — chassis numbers that start with L. For any car's local registration, the Excise portal of the province where it is registered is the official source.
Vehicles built in China, such as Changan, Haval, MG, BAIC, Chery, BYD and Geely models, whose history is usually missing from local tools. Check the first character of the chassis number: L means the car was made in China.
