Eine Fahrgestellnummern-Pr\u00fcfung beschreibt die Nummer, die Sie eingegeben haben. Sie kann nicht sagen, ob diese Nummer zu dem Auto vor Ihnen geh\u00f6rt.

Der Gerichtshof der EU hat festgestellt, dass eine Fahrgestellnummer f\u00fcr sich genommen kein personenbezogenes Datum ist, es aber f\u00fcr jemanden werden kann, der sie mit einer Person verkn\u00fcpfen kann. Das eigentliche Risiko ist das Klonen, bei dem eine echte Fahrgestellnummer auf ein anderes Auto kopiert wird.
