Before you buy
Why a VIN check matters before you buy
Vehicle title check
Title records and title brands can show a brand a state has recorded, including salvage and other brands the provider returns.
Accident and salvage records
Accident, damage and salvage auction records can change what a used car is worth. The report shows the records that were returned, not a promise that nothing ever happened.
Mileage from the title
Mileage recorded on title events can be compared with the figure the seller gives you.
The report covers that vehicle
A license plate or VIN lookup identifies the vehicle. The history report then covers that vehicle. Another car needs its own check.
