What a VIN check reveals

Everything a seller might forget to mention

A VIN check sifts through the complete history of a used vehicle from its identification number (VIN). In seconds, it reveals the information a seller does not always mention: title status, accidents and damage, actual mileage, and theft records — the factors that weigh most heavily on a car's value and safety.

Title status

The report shows whether the vehicle has been declared salvage, flooded, fire-damaged, or rebuilt. A branded title can cut its value in half — better to know before you sign.

Accidents & damage

Reported collisions, airbag deployments, and major repairs often hidden in a listing. The VIN check surfaces past incidents.

Actual mileage

By cross-referencing successive readings (safety inspections, servicing, sales), the report detects tampered odometers and inconsistent mileage.

Theft records

The VIN is cross-referenced with databases of vehicles reported stolen, in France and internationally, so you avoid buying a wanted car.

Why check

60 seconds that save you from a bad deal

Before buying a used car, a VIN check reveals in 60 seconds what a listing and a visual inspection leave in the dark. By decoding the vehicle identification number, our history report cross-references hundreds of official sources to spot the most costly traps: tampered odometer, accident-damaged or salvage vehicle, stolen car, or an outstanding lien or loan.

Disguised salvage

A "salvage" or "total loss" title patched up on the cheap: compromised safety and slashed resale value. The VIN check reveals serious incidents and rebuilt titles.

Tampered odometer

Odometer fraud affects a large share of used cars. By comparing successive mileage readings, the report detects inconsistencies.

Stolen vehicle

Buying a stolen car means risking seizure with no refund. Our sources cross-reference databases of vehicles reported stolen, in France and internationally.

Hidden lien

A car with an outstanding loan can be seized by the bank after you buy it. The report flags registered liens and encumbrances.
