What is important to know?
Buying a car may seem as easy as browsing the classifieds, but choosing the right one is not such a simple task. carVertical reports often reveal discrepancies when checking a VIN number.
What information can you get?
Mileage fraud
Mileage fraud is not uncommon. Sellers often manipulate the odometer to make the listing more attractive and close the sale faster.
Theft report
Checking whether a vehicle has been reported stolen is essential for every buyer. Attractive used car prices can carry serious provenance risks.
Financial and legal status
Cars can be subject to disputes related to ownership rights. Owners often advertise vehicles for sale without disclosing that the car was purchased on a lease.
Specifications
Do you suspect the vehicle has been modified? Discover the factory specifications and extras to avoid being misled about the car’s original condition.
Photos
Archived images give you a clear idea of how the car looked in the past. This helps you better understand its history and any events it may have been through.
Damage history
Learning about past damage helps you understand how the vehicle has been treated and what to expect, so you won’t be caught off guard by unexpected repairs.
Ownership changes
Frequent ownership changes can indicate that the car has hidden defects that buyers only discovered after purchase, prompting them to resell it quickly.
Safety recalls
Manufacturers recall certain car models that have shown safety defects in order to address and resolve them.
