This service is based on feedback from technical inspections, and currently only concerns French vehicles (no history feedback before import).
So to sum up: there is a good chance that large imported sedans with km < 15 km per year have been hacked!!
In practice, this gives:
A) Example of a fraud per km detected during the Technical Inspection (we notice a double passage on 1/12/2020 hoping that this would erase the fraud... lost the idiots!!). CT centers only have this function since May 20, 2018 (hence the difference with the Histovec report).

These data indicate double fraud: in 2016/2017 and 2019/2020...
And that's where it drives me crazy: the technical control centers that detect mileage fraud... only report on the CT and no feedback from a legal or administrative point of view. how informative!
Mileage fraud is a crime!
So yes, you are going to tell me that during the transaction, you need a CT less than 6 months old, except that a CT with a color photocopier is easily falsified! (and that too is a crime!)
It would however be very easy to block, during a detection of fraud, the vehicle during the CT or during the resale.
Tweaking = vehicle immobilization and change of owner prohibited! Just flash a red button without the SIV system !!
I'm hallucinating, we can see that France Africa is on the move there!
In the Benelux, the Car Pass system has existed for at least 15 years: https://www.car-pass.be/fr//
The Car Pass is mandatory for each transaction (except export), if fraud is detected, the vehicle is not salable (but it can still be used by its owner). I have therefore just understood that probably 95% of the advertisements where it is specified "Merchant sale or export only" are in fact for hacked cars (I am very naive about human nature!!)
This situation is driving me crazy: the CTs are pissing us off for a badly adjusted traffic light and mileage fraud is... a national sport in France suddenly!
We have developed a great tool called Histovec, why not use it to clean up the fleet of mileage scams?
In other words: we know, we know the fraudsters, but we do nothing...we let it flow...so there is a certain complicity from a legal point of view...
