How do I confirm a used car has clean documents — no loan, no theft case?

Question

Before paying for a car, how do I make sure the registration is genuine, the chassis/engine numbers match the book, and there is no outstanding bank loan or police case on it?

Accepted Answer

Verify the registration against the provincial Excise record (Punjab has online MTMIS / SMS verification), physically tally the chassis and engine numbers with the registration book, confirm the seller's CNIC matches the registered owner, and check for any HPA/bank lien. For imports also confirm the auction sheet and the bill of entry. CarOK's document check service does this end-to-end so you don't get stuck with a loaned or disputed car.
