Selling a car
How to prepare a vehicle history before selling
Before selling, organize service history, documents, costs and notification confirmations. This makes buyer conversations clearer and reduces post-sale confusion.
This is an organization guide. Check current formal obligations on Gov.pl, with your insurer and local registration office.
Prepare history for the buyer
Export the vehicle history or prepare a short summary: major repairs, regular maintenance, consumables, inspection date, OC insurance and current mileage.
- Do not hide important defects. History supports the conversation; it does not replace inspection or diagnostics.
- Separate private documents from files you want to show to a buyer.
Organize documents
Find the registration document, OC policy, service confirmations, larger repair invoices, documents for additional equipment and all keys before meeting a buyer.
- If attachments contain personal data, review them before sharing.
- Prepare a simple list of items transferred with the car.
After sale
Gov.pl indicates 30 calendar days for reporting vehicle sale. The Polish Financial Ombudsman also describes a 14-day deadline for notifying the insurer.
- Record the sale date and notification confirmations in VehKeep.
- Keep a copy of the contract and proof of notification sent to the office and insurer.
