Дром Авто: Car marketplace with VIN check

Дром Авто is an automotive marketplace app by Дром that lets people browse, compare, and publish vehicle listings directly from a phone.

The app is built around a database of more than 900,000 active advertisements placed by private owners and car dealerships across Russia, covering both new and used cars as well as motorcycles. Rather than scrolling through an unfiltered feed, you describe what you want — model, year, engine size and similar parameters — and the app narrows the list down to matching offers on its own. Each listing can be opened for details, saved to favorites, annotated with personal notes, or lined up against other candidates in a side-by-side comparison.

Buying is only half of the story. Sellers can create an ad from the phone, describe the technical characteristics of a car or motorcycle, and attach photos. A subscription system keeps track of the parameters you care about and pushes instant notifications when new ads appear, when a price changes on a car you are watching, or when other events occur. Communication with sellers happens inside the app as well.

There is also a vehicle history tool: a full car report by VIN that surfaces information about traffic regulations, fines, arrests, accidents and traffic police records. Owner reviews round out the picture, giving you a sense of what people who already drive a given model think of it. The app is free, carries no advertising, and offers no in-app purchases, which keeps the experience focused on listings rather than upsells. It was first released in September 2015 and continues to receive regular updates; version 8.2.0 arrived on 16 October 2026 and concentrates on interface polish and performance.

Latest changes · 8.3.0

This update continues the effort to refine the app's interface and boost overall performance. The focus is on smoother navigation and a more polished user experience.

It suits experienced car buyers and sellers who want a single place to search, evaluate and list vehicles rather than juggling several tools. If you already know which models and engines you are considering, the parameter filters, VIN history report, comparison view and subscription alerts map neatly onto that workflow. Sellers who want to publish a car or motorcycle ad with photos from the phone will find the publishing side equally practical. Anyone comparing alternatives should note that the listing base is concentrated on Russia and that the app asks for a number of device permissions.

Set up subscriptions for the exact models and parameters you are chasing before you start browsing; the notifications will then do most of the searching for you. Run the VIN report on any car that makes your shortlist, and check it against the owner reviews for that model. Use favorites to build a shortlist and the comparison view to weigh two or three candidates against each other, and add notes to individual ads so you remember what you liked or disliked. Keep the app updated, since recent releases have focused on interface and performance improvements.

Дром Авто packs searching, selling, VIN history checks and buyer communication into one free, ad-free app with a listing base large enough to be genuinely useful. For an experienced buyer or seller in Russia, it is a solid default to measure other options against.
