Coverage and verification
Many accidents are never reported to an insurer or agency, and repair quality cannot be judged from a record. Have a body shop or mechanic inspect the vehicle for prior repairs.
How It Works
- Enter the 17-character VIN, or the license plate and the state that issued it.
- Confirm the year, make, and model we identify for that vehicle.
- Continue securely to review the complete vehicle report.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will every accident appear?
No. An accident repaired privately, or never reported to an insurer or the police, may not appear in any source.
Does a reported accident mean the vehicle is unsafe?
Not by itself. Severity and repair quality matter. Ask for repair invoices and have the vehicle inspected.
What is an insurance loss?
It indicates an insurer reported a claim or loss on the vehicle. It does not describe the cause or the repair.
