Introduction
Buying a car in Dubai, especially a luxury or supercar, is an exciting experience. But before making the final purchase, it’s essential to verify the car’s history to avoid future surprises. Whether it’s a Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, or Lamborghini, checking the car’s accident records, mileage authenticity, and previous ownership ensures you’re getting true value for your investment.
At Nova Luxury Cars, we encourage every buyer to perform a car history check before purchasing any vehicle. It’s an easy process that takes only a few minutes online — and it could save you thousands of dirhams in the long run.
Why Checking Car History Is Important
In Dubai’s pre-owned car market, transparency is everything. A car that looks perfect on the outside may have:
- Hidden accident damage
- Odometer tampering
- Previous insurance claims
- Multiple ownership transfers
By checking the history through official UAE authorities, you gain full confidence in your purchase. For high-end brands like Ferrari, Bentley, McLaren, and Rolls-Royce, this step is crucial to protect your investment and resale value.
✅ Methods to Check Car History in Dubai
Below are the four reliable ways to check any vehicle’s history in the UAE:
1. Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) — Vehicle Condition Certificate
The RTA (Roads and Transport Authority) provides the most trusted method to verify a car’s technical condition and records.
Steps:
- Visit https://www.rta.ae
- Navigate to “Driver and Vehicle Owner Services” → “Vehicle Condition Certificate”
- Enter your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or chassis number
- Pay a small fee (around AED 100)
- Download the full vehicle condition certificate
Details you’ll receive:
- Vehicle specifications and registration data
- Technical inspection results
- Odometer readings
- Accident and repair history
- Registration and ownership timeline
💡 Pro Tip: Always compare the RTA report with the dealer’s inspection record to ensure consistency.
2. Emirates Vehicle Gate (EVG)
The Emirates Vehicle Gate (EVG) platform is another reliable source to check your vehicle’s accident history and traffic reports.
Steps:
- Visit https://evg.ae
- Sign up or log in using your UAE Pass
- Go to “Vehicle Accident Inquiry”
- Enter the VIN or chassis number
- View accident details registered within the UAE
Information Provided:
- Date and location of recorded accidents
- Damage type (minor, moderate, or major)
- Repair center details (if available)
This is especially helpful when purchasing used luxury cars in Dubai from private sellers or smaller dealerships.
3. Ministry of Interior (MOI) — Vehicle Accident Inquiry
The MOI website also allows users to verify accidents across different emirates.
Steps:
- Visit https://www.moi.gov.ae
- Go to E-Services → Traffic and Licensing → Vehicle Accident Inquiry
- Enter the chassis number
- Click Search to view accident reports
Benefits:
- Covers data from all Emirates (Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, etc.)
- Shows accident severity and police record numbers
4. Private Platforms — CarReport & CarFax UAE
For international or imported luxury vehicles, platforms like CarReport.ae and CarFax.com provide detailed reports.
They include:
- Global accident history
- Mileage verification
- Import/export details
- Ownership changes and recall notices
Although these reports may cost between AED 100–200, they are worth the investment if the vehicle was imported from outside the UAE.
What You Need to Check Car History
To perform any of the above checks, you’ll need:
- Chassis number (VIN) – 17-digit unique vehicle identifier
- Car make, model, and year
- Registered plate number (optional)
This information is usually found on the car’s dashboard (near the windshield), registration card, or engine bay.
