Photos are the most visible part of a Carcheck.by record: you can see them on the site and in image search. According to our product description, the site keeps the car’s pictures together with the price it was bought for, and when the record goes, the pictures go with it. Here is what such photos usually show, what exactly the order takes down, and where an image can outlive the record for a while.
What auction photos tend to show
Auction photos are taken for bidders, not to protect anyone’s privacy. Look at yours carefully; they may include:
- the number plate, if it was not taken off before the sale;
- documents or papers left on a seat or the dashboard;
- personal belongings in the cabin and the boot;
- stickers and other marks by which people who know you would recognise the car.
We have not seen Carcheck.by’s gallery with our own eyes — in October 2026 the site did not let us in — so this is about auction photos in general, not about how Carcheck.by displays them.
What the order takes down
The Carcheck.by order is for the whole record. We file a request to take the car out of the site’s database, photos and purchase price included, and follow it until the car stops appearing on carcheck.by. There is no separate photos-only option: the pictures and the price are parts of one record, and they leave with it. The promised time is 12–24 hours; during Google updates or technical problems on the servers it can take 1–2 days longer. If the site asks for proof that the car is yours, we tell you what it needs.
Where photos can linger
Image search works differently from ordinary results. It remembers the picture file itself, which has an address of its own, and keeps a small copy of it, separately from the page where the photo was published. That is why a picture sometimes stays in search longer than the link to the record, even after it has left Carcheck.by.
The record has left the site, but copies of the images are not kept only there:
- Google Images. Google stores its own small copies and clears them on its own schedule. We ask Google to drop the old result for eligible links, but Google Images are not part of the Carcheck.by promise.
- Yandex Images. Yandex refreshes its index by itself, on its own schedule; our product description mentions Google only.
- Other websites. If another site published the same auction photos, that is a separate page with its own operator, and the Carcheck.by order does not touch it.
- Saved copies. A screenshot or a downloaded file cannot be recalled by anyone.
What stays the same whatever happens
The photos go; the car’s history stays. The title brand, NMVTIS data, insurance claims and Carfax or AutoCheck reports live in other systems, and the pictures disappearing from Carcheck.by has no effect on them. Anyone who orders a report for the VIN gets the same report as before. Removal is a privacy matter — what can be seen on a public page — not a change to the facts about the car.
A short plan for owners
- Before ordering, note the addresses of any images you found in search and add them to the order together with the record’s address.
- After our confirmation, give the search engines a few days, then check images for the VIN in both Google and Yandex.
- If a picture labelled carcheck.by hangs on for long, send us its link with the VIN.
- Before you sell the car, run the free check once more.
