Real experiences from people who checked before they bought.
I checked two cars before buying. The first had some damage the seller had said nothing about, the second was fine. For me it was clearly worth it.
I checked the car straight from my phone. Super fast. Everything clean and correct!
I checked the car before setting off to see it. I did not like what I found and I avoided a trip of a few hundred kilometres.
Frequently asked questions
What information can I find in a VIN report?
The report can include information about damage, mileage, service history, factory equipment, commercial use, theft, legal status, historical photos and the market valuation of the car.
Can I check the car from a listing before going to see it?
Yes. All you need is the car's VIN. You can review the report before travelling and decide whether it is worth continuing the inspection or the conversation with the seller.
Why do some cars have more records than others?
The number of records depends on each car's history, the countries it has been driven in and the information reported by the available sources. One car may have several service visits, damage events or mileage readings, while another may have a shorter history.
Can the report identify tampered mileage?
The report shows the mileage values identified over time and can highlight drops or differences between records. These may point to possible tampering, but they should be confirmed by checking the documents, running a diagnosis and inspecting the car in person.
