Every car gets a lap.

Enter a VIN or a plate. Nordlap pulls the history, finds the car in every auction it has been through, reads the photos and tells you the number before you bid.

Join the private beta UK and Europe first. Free while in beta.

What a lap covers

One search, four things carVertical, Copart and a good mechanic would each tell you separately.

History

Mileage at every inspection, write-offs, theft marks, finance, owners and plate changes, from government registers where they exist and from insurers where they don't.

UK and Netherlands by plate, the rest of Europe by VIN

Auctions

Every Copart, IAAI and UK salvage lot the car has been through, with the original photos and the hammer price. If it was crashed in Texas and relisted in Bristol, you see both.

Millions of past lots, matched by VIN

Copilot

Reads the damage photos like a bodyshop, estimates the repair, pulls the resale value and tells you a max bid. Ask it anything about the car in plain language.

Trained on real hammer prices, not list prices

Broker

Like the car? We bid for you, ship it, clear customs and handle the paperwork at home. One fee, no surprises at the port.

The verdict, not a 40-page PDF

A history report tells you what happened. Nordlap tells you what to do about it: buy, skip, or buy only for parts, and the price at which each answer changes.

This is a real lot we ran during testing. The car looked like a bargain at £4,400.

2003 Porsche 911 Carrera (996.2) Copart UK, Bristol · 109,927 mi · runs and drives
£4,500Max bid
£17,072Copart retail estimate
£10–15kPast repair estimate
  • Mileage consistent across 12 MOT tests. No rollback.
  • Two damage records in 8 weeks: rear quarter, structural, suspension. Space-saver fitted rear right.
  • M96 3.6 engine: bore scoring and IMS risk at this mileage. Engine condition cannot be verified from photos.
  • Relisted as Pure Sale after a reserve sale failed. Seller is motivated.
Verdict: walk away above £4,500. A clean, documented example costs £12–14k and carries none of the engine risk.
