Updated 23 July 2026
For a car that has spent its whole life in Czechia or Slovakia, Cebia's three decades of local records make it a strong choice at a similar price to MrVIN.

When MrVIN is the better buy
The car is an import, or might be
A third or more of used cars in Central Europe arrived from abroad, and a border crossing is exactly where mileage and damage history goes missing. MrVIN follows the car across 30+ European countries; a locally focused check cannot.
You want to see the findings first
MrVIN's free preview shows what the report found for your exact VIN before you pay. You never buy a report to discover the interesting part is empty.
You are not in Czechia or Slovakia
Cebia is built for the Czech and Slovak market. MrVIN works in 35 languages and covers buyers across Europe at the same price everywhere: EUR 19.90 to 24.90.
Same money, wider net
The two services cost about the same for a full report. For an imported or foreign car, the same money buys a much wider search with MrVIN.
An honest word about Cebia
Cebia is the veteran of Czech vehicle history, operating since 1991, working with insurers and authorities, and offering a free basic check that is genuinely useful. If you are in Czechia buying a car that has always been registered there, Cebia's local depth is hard to beat.
The honest boundary is geography. Cebia's records are deepest at home, while the riskiest cars on the Czech and Slovak market are the ones that arrived from Germany, Italy or France. For those, a service built around cross border history is the safer check.
