By country
Cars by country
The stock comes from twenty-nine markets. Each has its own price logic, its own technical inspection and its own duties once a car crosses a border — here is what defines each one.
Used cars from Switzerland
Swiss used cars with inspection history and usually high specification. What defines the market — and what exporting into the EU adds.
ViewUsed cars from Germany
Europe's largest used-car market: wide choice, dense workshop coverage, complete service records. What defines the market and what importing costs.
ViewUsed cars from Austria
Austrian cars carry the Pickerl and often a German past. What the NoVA levy did to the stock, and what alpine use leaves behind.
ViewUsed cars from Liechtenstein
The principality shares a customs and VAT territory with Switzerland but follows EEA type approval: nothing to pay into Chur, a great deal into Feldkirch.
ViewUsed cars from France
The French state publishes more of a car's past than most: Histovec, the administrative status certificate, the contrôle technique.
ViewUsed cars from Belgium
Every Belgian used-car sale comes with a Car-Pass and an inspection beforehand.
ViewUsed cars from the Netherlands
The RDW's open plate register makes Dutch stock the best-documented in Europe. What the BPM made of it, and what salt and sea air leave behind.
ViewUsed cars from Luxembourg
Luxembourg levies no one-off charge on first registration. What that did to the stock, where the service records actually sit, and what the border adds.
ViewUsed cars from Italy
Small engines, many bifuel cars, bodies that differ sharply from region to region. What defines the Italian market and what taking a car out of it takes.
ViewUsed cars from Spain
A dry interior and little rust — but one question comes before the price: is finance still registered against the car? What defines the Spanish market.
ViewUsed cars from Portugal
The plate carries the registration date, the registration tax shapes the stock, and many cars were themselves imported. What that means for a buyer.
ViewUsed cars from Greece
Salt-free bodies, small engines, an older fleet — and cars whose plates are sitting at the tax office. What the Greek market asks of a buyer.
ViewUsed cars from Malta
Malta drives on the left: the stock is right-hand drive and largely arrives from Japan and Britain. What that means for what you check and where you register.
ViewUsed cars from Cyprus
Cyprus drives on the left, almost the whole stock is right-hand drive, and many cars are Japanese hybrid imports. What such a car needs checking for.
ViewUsed cars from Sweden
Swedish cars come equipped for winter, and the register holds their inspection history. What the krona, road salt and grit mean when you buy.
ViewUsed cars from Denmark
The registration tax built Denmark's used stock: small engines, sparse equipment, cars kept for years. And the export refund sets the seller's floor price.
ViewUsed cars from Finland
Finnish cars arrive with a thick inspection record and a winter you can see on them. What studded tyres, gravel roads and engine pre-heating leave behind.
ViewUsed cars from Ireland
Ireland drives on the left: its stock is right-hand drive, EU type-approved and carries its registration date on the plate.
ViewUsed cars from Estonia
A small, largely imported market and a state where changing owner is a digital act. Where Estonian cars come from and what their paperwork leaves out.
ViewUsed cars from Poland
Much of the Polish stock spent its first life further west. How the papers show it, and what else defines the market.
ViewUsed cars from Czechia
No tax on displacement or power, and a public register holding the odometer reading from every inspection. What defines the Czech market.
ViewUsed cars from Slovakia
Two separate inspections with their own deadlines, an entry fee assessed on kilowatts, and mountains the running gear remembers.
ViewUsed cars from Hungary
A state identity examination comes before every Hungarian change of keeper. What that certificate is worth, and what else shapes the market.
ViewUsed cars from Slovenia
Registration is only renewed while the inspection is valid — and less than a hundred kilometres separate the Alps from the Adriatic.
ViewUsed cars from Croatia
Registration is renewed on a short cycle, and on the coast much of the stock spends its first years as rental cars. What that means for papers and condition.
ViewUsed cars from Romania
Nothing is added at first registration, but the municipality taxes engine size every year. And the price is quoted in lei. What shapes this market.
ViewUsed cars from Bulgaria
A large share of the petrol cars run on gas, and the annual tax hangs on power times emissions class. What to check, and how the car gets home.
ViewUsed cars from Latvia
One body runs registration, inspection and the register, and the odometer is recorded at every test. What that reveals — and what Latvian roads do to a car.
ViewUsed cars from Lithuania
Cars from North American auctions arrive through Klaipėda and are repaired here. How to recognise one, and which papers have to come with it.
