The document that makes clocking visible

The Car-Pass. A used car offered without one is a mileage nobody can vouch for.

How we work

Paperwork is the protection

Belgium has one genuinely effective consumer protection in used car sales: the Car-Pass. It records the mileage readings captured at inspections and services, so an odometer that has been wound back shows up as an inconsistency on paper. A professional seller must provide it, and a seller who cannot is telling a buyer something important.

The guarantee is the other point buyers are routinely left unclear on. A consumer sale carries two years by law; for a second-hand vehicle it can be reduced to a minimum of one year, but only by written agreement. Stating which applies before purchase, rather than after a fault appears, is the difference between a sale and a dispute.

In print the equivalent discipline is rights and proofs. A customer must own the artwork they send, because an infringement claim follows the person who ordered the run. And once a proof is approved it governs — which is why the two minutes spent reading the names and numbers on it are the most valuable in the whole job.

Our principles

Three beliefs behind the method

Car-Pass, always

It is what makes mileage verifiable.

State the guarantee

Two years, or one in writing.

Check artwork rights

The claim follows the customer.
