Caropen.lt shows how cars of a specific make, model and year of manufacture fare at technical inspections in Lithuania, what mileage is normal for them and where odometer records do not add up. Every figure is computed from open government data – millions of technical inspections since 2015.
Who it is for
- Used-car buyers – compare models and years of manufacture, check whether a mileage is normal.
- Journalists and researchers – national statistics, municipalities and studies with downloadable data.
- Developers – an open API with the same figures.
Principles
- Descriptive statistics only. We show how models fared at inspections, with the sample size and confidence interval – not scores and not "best car" promotions.
- The same rules for everyone. The methodology is public, thresholds are the same for every make, and there are no hidden weights or paid placements.
- No personal data. Plates and VINs are hashed in the source and we never reverse them. We publish no individual car's history; stations are anonymous.
- Make and model names are used only to identify them; we use no logos and are not affiliated with any manufacturer.
Independence
Caropen.lt is an independent project, not affiliated with the State Data Agency, Transeksta, Regitra, inspection stations or car manufacturers.
