Product snapshot: Instant vehicle lookup
Instacar is a mobile service that lets you pull up vehicle data and an estimated resale price using only the licence plate. With a single plate entry you can view key information at no charge, including year of manufacture, odometer reading, technical inspection status and several other vehicle details.
How to use the app
- Enter the car's licence plate number to begin the lookup.
- Review the returned facts such as manufacturing year, recorded mileage and inspection validity.
- Results are presented quickly and are free to access after registering.
Price estimate: what the calculator evaluates
Instacar uses an AI-driven valuation engine that combines many inputs to produce a market price estimate for used vehicles. The algorithm takes into account, among other items:
- Fuel type
- Vehicle brand
- Power output (kW)
- Model designation
- Total mileage
- Year of manufacture
- More than 100 additional technical and specification attributes
Coverage, vehicle classes and assumptions
The service currently provides valuations for a defined set of vehicles and applies standard assumptions about condition when estimating value:
- Applies to cars registered in Hungary across categories M1 and M1G
- Includes the most common 582 models in the covered dataset
- Assumes standard technical and cosmetic condition when pricing
- Limits eligibility to passenger vehicles with up to seven seats
- Supports cars up to 22 years old for its valuation models
