What it means
VIN and NIV refer to the vehicle identification number. It should connect the physical car with the invoice, registration card, and legal-status checks.
Why it matters
If the number does not match across the vehicle and documents, the buyer should slow down and verify the reason before paying.
What to check
- Photograph the VIN/NIV plate or stamping clearly.
- Compare the number against the invoice, registration card, and REPUVE result.
- Avoid relying on typed seller messages as the only source of the number.
