Car-Pass is the non-profit organization charged by the legislator with a task of public interest i.e. to protect buyers and to promote the fair trade in used vehicles by combating fraud with the odometer.

I want to buy a car

Always ask for your Car-Pass! The seller is legally required. Make sure the odometer increases steadily over time and whether the last reading on the Car-Pass matches the odometer of the vehicle. The Car-Pass also mentions the CO2 emissions and the Euro standard and whether the vehicle still has to undergo an inspection after accident.

    The Car-Pass shows the make, model and vehicle identification number of the vehicle. It also contains the date on which it was used for the first time and the date on which the vehicle was registered in Belgium. Are those dates different? That means that the vehicle had been driven outside Belgium for a while. No data is available for the period during which the vehicle was being driven outside of Belgium.

    The Car-Pass also shows the following information:

    • The Euro standard: determines access to low emission zones.
    • The CO2 emissions: the amount of vehicle tax payable is based entirely on this. The test method, whether NEDC or WLTP, is also mentioned. If both of these emission values are known, then the two values will be shown on the Car-Pass.
