Vehicles

Look the car up once — know the full history.

The vehicle registry pulls live data from the Danish Digital Motor Registry (DMR), decodes VINs to ISO 3779, and brings inspections, taxes, insurance and sales history together on a single vehicle page.

  • Plate and VIN lookups with automatic DMR import
  • VIN decoder with 3,100+ WMI codes and NHTSA fallback
  • Inspection history, taxes and insurance per vehicle
  • Sales history linked straight to every vehicle page

The car you are working on is never a black box

Look up a car and everything follows — engine code, displacement, next inspection, insurance history. DMR data is cached locally so repeat lookups are instant, and foreign cars without a Danish plate still get a full vehicle page through the VIN decoder and the NHTSA database.

The vehicle page is linked straight to sales orders, tire storage and customers. Click from the order to the car, from the car to every previous order, from a plate to a VIN to other plates on the same chassis — without leaving the system.

Automatic DMR lookup by plate or VIN

ISO 3779 VIN validation with green/red badge

Manufacturer and country from the WMI database

Full inspection history with date, mileage and outcome

Imported and pre-registration cars without a plate supported

Other plates on the same VIN grouped automatically

Automatic vehicle lookup

One search box — everything that follows fetches itself.

  • Plate or VIN lookup

    Type a plate number or VIN and look up in one click — the system finds the car in DMR or external registries.

  • Local caching

    Once a vehicle has been fetched the data lives in ZiiX. Repeat lookups are instant and do not cost an external API call.

  • International vehicles

    Cars from any country are supported — not just Denmark. Imports, leased cars and pre-registration vehicles without a plate can be created directly.

Complete vehicle overview

Every vehicle has one detail page with everything that exists about the car — broken into sections so the mechanic finds the relevant data fast.

  • Identification

    Plate, VIN, country, plate type, registration status, first registration date.

  • Make and model

    Manufacturer, model, model year, series, version, variant, fuel, colour, body, doors and seats.

  • Engine

    Engine type, code, displacement, horsepower, output, cylinder count, top speed.

  • Weights

    Gross weight, kerb weight, technical max weight, towing capacity braked and unbraked.

  • Key dates

    Last and next inspection, lease period, expiry date — visible before the customer calls.

VIN decoder

The chassis number is decoded automatically on the vehicle page.

  • ISO 3779 validation

    The check digit is validated against the international standard — green badge if the VIN is valid, red if it fails.

  • Model year from position 10

    The system reads possible model years from position 10 of the VIN and lists every valid year.

  • WMI database with 3,100+ codes

    Manufacturer and country are looked up against the World Manufacturer Identifier database — even rare brands.

  • Supplemented by NHTSA

    For vehicles without a registered model, additional specs are pulled automatically from the NHTSA database.

  • Manual re-decode

    If the VIN is updated later, the decoder can be re-run in one click.

Inspections, taxes and insurance

The car's full life history — without checking three different places.

  • Inspection history

    Full list of every previous inspection with date, category, mileage, result and any failure codes. Inspection company and location are shown too.

  • Taxes per period

    Every tax period with type, period, amount and whether the tax is mandatory.

  • Insurance

    Insurance history with company, start date and active status — so you know whether the car is covered.

Imports and pre-registration vehicles

Cars without a Danish plate are handled just as smoothly as ones in DMR.

  • Look up by VIN only

    Create a provisional vehicle record straight from the VIN — no plate needed. WMI data fills in manufacturer, country and model year instantly.

  • Automatic NHTSA enrichment

    Further specs — model, fuel type, body, engine — are fetched in the background through the NHTSA API.

  • Manual edits to master data

    The mechanic can edit manufacturer, model, model year, fuel, colour, body and engine specs straight from the sales order, as long as DMR has not taken over.

  • DMR takes over automatically

    When the car gets a Danish plate, the vehicle is updated automatically with official DMR data.

Sales history and customer link

  • All sales per vehicle

    Direct overview of every quote, order, invoice and credit note ever created on the car — filterable by document type.

  • Click straight to the sale

    Jump from the vehicle page to any previous order in one click.

  • Other plates on the same VIN

    If the VIN has had several plates, they are listed together. Each plate link opens its own vehicle page.

  • Notes per shop

    Internal notes can be added on the vehicle — visible only to the shop that created them.

Frequently asked questions

Where does ZiiX pull vehicle data from?+
Primarily from the Danish DMR for Danish cars, and from the WMI database and NHTSA for VIN-based lookups. Local caching means repeat lookups are instant.
Can I look up a car without a plate?+
Yes. A VIN alone is enough. The system reads manufacturer, country and model year from the WMI database and supplements with further specs via NHTSA.
Do you support foreign and imported cars?+
Yes. Vehicles from any country can be created via VIN. When the car later gets a Danish plate, the data updates automatically from DMR.
What is the VIN decoder?+
A built-in decoder that validates the check digit to ISO 3779, reads model year from position 10 and looks up the manufacturer against a database of over 3,100 WMI codes. The result shows as a green or red badge on the vehicle page.
Are inspections and taxes kept up to date?+
Yes. These come from DMR and refresh on lookup — so you always see the latest status without manual sync.
