The Truth About Vehicle History Reports

A vehicle's past determines its future reliability and value. Hidden damage, rolled-back odometers, and washed titles cost consumers and businesses billions of dollars every year. Our Vehicle History API aggregates data from over 50 independent sources to create a complete lifecycle record for every VIN.

We don't just rely on one source. We cross-reference data to uncover the truth that sellers might try to hide.

Our Car History Data Sources

To ensure 100% coverage, we pull data from:

NMVTIS (National Motor Vehicle Title Information System): The federal database that tracks title brands (Salvage, Flood, Junk) across state lines to prevent title washing.
Insurance Carriers: Direct feeds of total loss declarations and theft claims.
Salvage Auctions: Records from major auction houses (Copart, IAA) to identify vehicles sold as "scrap" or "parts only".
Service Centers: Maintenance records that verify mileage and prove the vehicle was cared for.

Detecting Odometer Fraud

Odometer rollbacks are more common than ever with digital dashboards. Our system analyzes the chronological history of mileage readings from registration events, emissions tests, and service visits. If the mileage drops or stays flat over a long period, we flag it as a potential odometer rollback.

Comprehensive History Report Data Fields

Our API returns a detailed timeline of events. Here are the core fields available.

Protecting the Automotive Ecosystem

Transparency builds trust. Our data powers the safety checks for the entire industry.

Used Car Dealers

Never unknowingly buy a lemon. Scan every trade-in VIN to detect frame damage, flood history, or washed titles before you make an offer. Provide a free history report to buyers to close deals faster.

Insurance Underwriting

A vehicle with a prior salvage title carries a different risk profile. Use our API to verify the insurability of a vehicle and detect pre-existing damage that could be claimed fraudulently later.

Online Marketplaces

Build a safe platform. Automatically flag listings with title issues or odometer discrepancies. Give your users confidence that the car they see online is the car they are buying.

Frequently Asked Questions about Vehicle History

Is this the same as a Carfax report?

Our reports contain much of the same data, including accident records, title brands, and mileage history. We source data from NMVTIS and other partners. However, our API is designed for developers and businesses who need instant, low-cost access to this data programmatically.

What is a NMVTIS report?

NMVTIS (National Motor Vehicle Title Information System) is a federal database designed to prevent title fraud. It is the only database in the US that all states, insurance carriers, and junk yards are required by law to report to. Our API includes full NMVTIS data.

Can I check for odometer rollback?

Yes. We analyze the mileage history from multiple data points (registration, inspection, service) to detect inconsistencies. If the mileage goes down over time, we flag it as a potential rollback.

Do you show accident damage details?

Yes. When available, we provide details on the accident, including the date, severity (Minor, Moderate, Severe), and the point of impact (e.g., "Front Left"). We also indicate if airbags were deployed.

Is there a free VIN check API?

We offer a free tier for developers to test the integration. This includes a limited number of full history reports per month so you can verify the depth and accuracy of our data before subscribing.
