Know exactly
which car it is.
A valuation is only as good as the identification behind it. Send two photos, a few lines of listing text, a VIN or a plate, and we identify the exact car: make, model, generation, drivetrain, gearbox, colour and equipment. Every value comes back with where it came from.
What a photo shows,
we read.
Our AI reads what only a photo can show, then checks every reading against the catalogue. Nothing it reads ever sets a price on its own: it identifies the car, and the market does the valuing.

Two photos settle the generation and rule out every manual gearbox: of the 37 drivetrains our catalogue knows for this generation, 31 remain. The response says so, and names the input that settles the rest.
Drivetrain 31 automatic candidates, from the C 160 to the AMG C 63 S
Mileage Strongest price factor after the car itself
* Registration plate lookup is available in Denmark today, through the Danish Motor Register. The VIN decoder reads the brand, model and year from a VIN, and German HSN/TSN type codes are supported. Photos are read with a live key; test keys never send photos to AI.
Listing shorthand in,
structured vehicle out.
Paste the text exactly as a seller wrote it, in any of our markets' languages. Abbreviations, trade jargon and brand names for equipment are matched to one shared vocabulary.

Gaps filled in the open,
never guessed in secret.
Real data has holes. We fill them from what the catalogue and the market know about cars like yours, and only in the open. Every filled-in value is marked as assumed, lowers the stated precision, and comes with a hint asking for the real value.
How assumptions work →Equipment from the market
From the trim we identified, or the equipment that at least 70% of comparable cars for sale have. Only ever added: a "no" in the listing stays a no.
Year, flagged
A missing registration year is assumed and reported as such, with a hint to send the real one.
Mileage only when you say so
Mileage drives price more than anything. We never assume it unless you opt in, and then the result says plainly that it is an assumption.
Strict when it matters
For credit and claims decisions, strict mode refuses any assumption. You get a well-founded result or a free refusal with the fix.
Fifteen years of cars,
mapped down to the feature.
Every identification resolves against AutoUncle's vehicle knowledge graph. It links brands, models, generations, drivetrains, trims and features, and it holds the words sellers use for them in every market we cover.
drivetrains in one generation
The C-class T-modell (S205) alone, each with its own power, gearbox and traction. Telling them apart is where a valuation gets precise.
trims, packages and options
From Avantgarde and AMG Line to a head-up display, mapped to features that are priced.
markets' vocabulary
Lederausstattung, læderkabine and interni in pelle are one feature. And a Danish "træk" on its own is the drive, not a towbar.
