Check of the vehicle originality

The originality inspection of a vehicle is a process that involves measurement and non-destructive examination to detect signs of unauthorized alterations to the vehicle's identifiers, structure, or documents.

During the originality inspection, vehicle identifiers such as the VIN and other markings, as well as components that confirm the vehicle's identity according to its documents, are verified for their originality and authenticity. Additionally, data from relevant information systems are evaluated.
The purpose of the originality inspection is to verify whether the vehicle is suitable for road use. The results of this inspection are recorded in the information system and the Expert Report on Originality Inspection.
