Frequently Asked Questions

What is a VIN check and why should I do one before buying a used car?

A VIN check shows the real history of a vehicle using its unique 17-character code. It helps you discover hidden problems such as mileage rollback, previous accidents, theft records or incorrect usage type before you spend your money.

Where can I find the VIN number on the vehicle?

You can find the 17-character VIN on the dashboard visible through the windshield (driver’s side), on the driver’s door pillar sticker, in the engine compartment, or in the vehicle registration documents.

Does the carVertical report include VIN decoding?

Yes. Every report starts with a complete VIN decoding. This shows the exact factory specifications: make, model, engine, gearbox, equipment level, year of manufacture and country of origin.

Is there a completely free car history check?

There is no completely free report that gives you all important information (real mileage, damage photos, accidents). Most free tools only show basic data. For a detailed and reliable history, a paid professional report like carVertical is recommended.

What advantages do I get by checking through you?

We are an official affiliate partner of carVertical. This means you get a 20% discount on every report, fast support, and the same high-quality data.

How reliable and accurate is carVertical?

carVertical is one of the most trusted providers in Europe. It aggregates data from over 900 official sources including government databases, insurance companies, technical inspections, and auctions.

What data sources does carVertical use?

carVertical collects data from government registries, insurance companies, technical inspection stations, police databases, auction houses, and service networks across more than 30 countries.

Does the report show hidden damages on imported cars?

Yes. This is one of the biggest advantages. Many imported cars have accident or flood damage repaired in the country of origin that never appears in local records. carVertical often includes photos and reports from the original country.
