- Registration Certificate (RC)
Before buying any used two-wheeler or even four-wheeler, one must ensure to check the RC of the vehicle and see if it is original or not. The RC may differ depending on various states and their RTO. To check if the RC belongs to the same person from whom you are buying the vehicle, and to check if the RC is of the same vehicle, you can check it online or even from government apps like mParivahan, RTO vehicle information app, and various other third-party apps. By filling in the registration number of the vehicle on these apps, you can see the various information related to the vehicle like,
- Vehicle Model
- Vehicle Maker
- Ownership Details
- Vehicle Class
- Vehicle body type
- RC issue and expiry date
- Information related to Insurance and Insurance company
- Engine no. & Chassis Number
- Finance related information of the vehicle among others
Now if you are having all these details with you, you must know how to use it effectively to verify the owner and the vehicle. For this, we advise you to check the vehicle physically and meet the owner in person and avoid online dealing.
You can verify the vehicle by checking the physical RC from the owner and matching the details like the registration number and chassis number to the vehicle and also you can verify the owner by cross -checking from the app and to the physical RC. Also, one of the most important things to check is, if the vehicle is not under any kind of loan, you can check this by checking it in the vehicle financer section of the RC. Moreover, to verify the identity of the owner you can ask him/her for any kind of identity proof like Aadhar card, Voter ID card among others. With all this information verified, we can further proceed with the buying procedure of the vehicle. Now we must tell you these are not the only checks which are required when we buy a second-hand vehicle.
