FinalBid / VIN CHECK / Kyiv

On the windscreen at the base of the glass, on the driver-side door pillar, and on the registration document. Check that all three match before anything else — a mismatch ends the viewing.
Especially there. A dealer may hold some paperwork; a private seller usually offers only their word. The VIN record does not depend on either.
Searching the auction archive for a VIN is free. The full history report — accidents, ownership, odometer readings and title brands — is a one-off paid report, no subscription.
