Ford VIN check: Focus, Mondeo, Kuga and Fiesta history.
Check the history of a used Ford and discover the available information about damage, mileage, service and factory equipment.
What you can learn from a Ford VIN
Identify the model, year of manufacture, body type and engine associated with the VIN.
See the equipment the car was originally configured with and compare it with what the seller presents.
Check the available information about the country of manufacture and the original characteristics of the vehicle.
Where do you find the VIN on a Ford?
At the base of the windscreen, on the driver's side, visible from outside.
On the manufacturer's label placed on the door frame or the central pillar.
The position differs depending on the model and year of manufacture.
In the registration certificate, in field E, and in the vehicle identity card.
What is worth checking on a used Ford
Some versions use a wet timing belt that runs in oil. Check the oil change history, the specification used and the recommended replacement interval for that engine.
Behaviour and maintenance differ by version. On the test drive, watch for hesitation, vibrations or abrupt shifts and check the repair history.
For TDCi engines, check the history of the DPF, EGR and AdBlue systems, where available, especially if the car was mostly used in the city.
Note: the Certcar report checks the information available in the vehicle history. To assess the current mechanical condition, we also recommend an inspection at an authorised workshop.

Frequently asked questions
Can I check an imported Ford?
Yes. The report can contain information available from Romania and from other countries where the vehicle was registered or used.
Does the report show the original equipment of a Ford?
If available for the VIN entered, the report can show information about the factory configuration and equipment.
Can the report tell me whether the EcoBoost engine or the PowerShift gearbox has problems?
The report can include service entries and recorded interventions, but it cannot diagnose the current mechanical condition. That requires a check at a workshop.
Is the service history included?
The report shows the service records available for the vehicle. The amount of information differs depending on the car and the available sources.
Can I check a Ford Transit or a commercial vehicle?
Yes. The VIN can also be checked for Ford commercial models, and the report will show the available information about their history.
