AI-powered · built from scratch for 2026
Europe deserves a better vehicle platform.
The platforms that exist today were built in the early 2000s — and they only do stolen cars. CarTrace is a complete vehicle platform: AI reports, comparisons, community feedback and a recovery network, in one place.
Not just stolen cars. A complete platform.
Powered by Leo · our AILeo reads history, mileage, recalls and risk, and sums it up in one clear report.
Similar cars, known issues and a fair price — before you buy.
Real owner and spotter experience, verified by the network.
A live heat map of reports across Europe — know where to take extra care.
Public traffic feeds along motorways, borders and ports.
Reporting takes three minutes. Spotters, cameras and route prediction do the rest.

We're a European team that has been building CarTrace since 2023. After years studying how vehicles are stolen and recovered across Europe — and seeing owners left with tools built in the early 2000s — we decided to help.
