What is a Vehicle History Report?

A vehicle history report compiles a vehicle’s recorded background by analyzing its VIN or license plate against trusted databases—government, DMV, insurance, auctions, salvage yards, and more. It surfaces hidden details that a test-drive alone can’t show, helping you avoid costly surprises.

Key Sections You’ll Find:

Title Information: Detects salvage, flood, rebuilt, or lemon-law titles
Accidents & Damage: Includes insurance, police, and repair records
Odometer Data: Highlights potential rollback or tampering
Theft and Recovery Flags: Reveals if a vehicle was stolen or recovered
Liens & Loans: Shows outstanding financial claims
Recall Status: Checks for open recalls and defects
Ownership History: Tracks number of owners and where it’s been registered
Specifications: Provides engine, transmission, fuel type, seating, and more
