01 / Overview

Making vehicle information more accessible.

KentekenKompas is a Dutch automotive information platform developed to make vehicle data and practical car-related knowledge easier to access and understand.

Using a Dutch vehicle registration number, visitors can explore available vehicle information, including technical specifications, registration details, and inspection-related data.

The platform combines information from available public vehicle data sources with clear explanations, research tools, and practical automotive guidance.

Beyond individual vehicle lookups, KentekenKompas provides resources to help motorists evaluate used cars, understand ownership expenses, and compare different vehicles.

Visitors can explore automotive model guides, purchasing checklists, and information about road taxes, fuel expenses, vehicle specifications, and other aspects of car ownership.

The platform aims to provide more than isolated technical details. By placing automotive information into a practical context, KentekenKompas helps users make better-informed vehicle-related decisions.

The public website serves Dutch motorists, used-car buyers and owners who want to turn a registration number into useful questions about a vehicle. Its model-level knowledge is also available to developers through a separate public API.

Why we built it

Vehicle registrations contain useful facts, but individual fields do not explain what a buyer should check next. KentekenKompas brings available public vehicle data together with definitions, model context and practical inspection questions.

The product’s value is in making evidence easier to interpret: what is known, where it comes from and what remains uncertain. It helps prepare a viewing, compare vehicles and discuss maintenance with a seller or garage without presenting incomplete data as a guarantee.

02 / Features & capabilities

Purpose in practice.

01

Registration & technical data

Look up a Dutch registration number to view available make, model, vehicle type, fuel, colour, mass, registration, emissions and technical fields. Coverage depends on the vehicle and source.

Public web tool
02

APK & registration signals

Inspect available APK expiry, inspection context and history, recall information and registration status. An odometer assessment may be available; exact mileage and complete mileage history are not supplied.

Public web tools; source dependent
03

Costs & vehicle comparisons

Compare two registrations and explore fuel-use calculations, CBS fuel-price context and road-tax factors. MRB depends on vehicle details and province; cost context is an estimate rather than an ownership bill.

Public tools; inputs and source availability apply
04

Model knowledge & buying guides

Browse make and model pages, comparison guides, vehicle terminology and used-car buying advice. Practical checklists help structure document checks, a viewing and a test drive.

Public knowledge API & MCP

Anonymous, read-only model knowledge, terminology, existing answers, validated comparison relationships and source context are documented for developers. Individual registration lookups are outside this API and MCP scope.

How it works

  1. Enter a Dutch registration

    Open KentekenKompas and enter the registration number, with or without hyphens. The initial online check does not require an account.

  2. Read the report with its sources

    Review available vehicle fields, APK context and warnings. Missing information remains unknown. Use the report explanation to understand the limits of each signal.

  3. Compare and prepare your questions

    Explore costs, compare another registration and read model guides. Ask for maintenance evidence, inspect the car and take a test drive; arrange an independent inspection when needed.

  4. Keep an optional PDF

    If you want a portable copy, select PDF on the report and complete the one-off payment on KentekenKompas. Download after processing; contact project support if delivery fails.

Availability & downloads

Available through the official website. Free online vehicle information and educational tools can be accessed in a browser.

The optional PDF is purchased and delivered by KentekenKompas. Fortis Mundi does not process report purchases or perform vehicle lookups. Prices and delivery terms on the project website remain authoritative.

Resources & documentation

Developer resources

Public Knowledge API / MCP

The KentekenKompas Public Knowledge API gives developers read-only access to public vehicle model knowledge, vehicle terminology, comparison relationships, and source information. It can be used in websites, analyses, and information assistants without authentication. This API provides model-level knowledge; individual registration-number lookups are outside its scope.

The public API is anonymous and read-only. MCP clients connect using Streamable HTTP at https://api.kentekenkompas.nl/mcp. Follow the human-readable documentation below for setup, scope and limitations. Registration-number lookup is outside this developer surface.

Sources & limitations

Public RDW vehicle data is a starting point; the platform also publishes derived model knowledge and editorial guidance. Its methodology distinguishes official facts, derived information and editorial interpretation. It is independent of RDW.

It does not provide personal owner information, accident or insurance-claim histories, a complete maintenance file, market valuations, battery-test results or a purchase guarantee. An APK signal is not a substitute for a physical inspection.

Vehicle coverage and freshness vary. Fuel-price context can be unavailable when current source data is absent. Model-level API knowledge cannot establish the condition of an individual car.
