A blog post on OSINTCurio.us about conducting open-source intelligence research on cars and other motor vehicles.

A Škoda Storyboard article series on how car registration numbers are generated and what can be gleaned from them in different countries. The page lists instalments covering Switzerland, Poland, Spain, France, Italy, China, Russia, Germany, India, the Czech Republic and the United Kingdom.
Vehicle plate search site for finding Russian license plate photos and related car sightings.
FindByPlate.com is a free resource for license plate lookup and reporting bad drivers. In most cases the website will identify the car and its basic information, along with any user-submitted reports, images, videos, or comments. The license plate search engine is in beta development, and the site does not guarantee the validity or accuracy of the information shown.
VIN Decoder is a free online universal car VIN decoder that returns information and a report about a vehicle from its Vehicle Identification Number. The site lists supported brands including Audi, BMW, Ford, Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo, and offers a full VIN report.
FAXVIN provides instant vehicle history reports covering title history, accident records and odometer readings. Reports may draw on licensed data providers and official databases, and coverage varies by vehicle, jurisdiction and source. A report is not a substitute for a physical inspection or independent verification. FAXVIN reports also include a 0–100 vehicle history metric called CarRank.
