Frequently asked questions
Do I need the license plate?
Yes, for the official data you do: the Icelandic license plate is two letters followed by three digits (for example AB123). Without a plate you can enter the car manually, but then there is nothing to check your input against.
What does a report cost?
A full purchase report costs ISK 820, a one-time payment. No account and no subscription. You see the preview first and decide after.
What if I'm not happy with the report?
Then you get your money back. Get in touch within 14 days of purchase via the contact page and we'll refund the full amount. You don't need to give a reason.
How fast do I get the report?
Usually one to a few minutes. The report is ready as soon as the analysis finishes.
Why pay when there's a free vehicle check?
A free vehicle check shows separate register data: year of manufacture, inspection expiry date, odometer verdict. Plateop pulls the same official data and does what a standalone check does not: weigh everything into a single verdict, look up known problems for this model, judge the asking price, and turn it into concrete seller questions and a test drive checklist. You see the preview first and decide on the full report after.
Do I need an account?
No. Plateop works without registration or login: we ask for no name, email address or password and build no profile. Your report is reachable through its own link.
How reliable is the advice?
The advice from Plateop is a tool, not a mechanic's verdict. The analysis does not invent model-specific problems it has no reliable knowledge about, and we say so when something is unknown.
