Instead of wasting time and meeting every seller in person, you can check the VIN number of all the cars you’re interested in and decide whether they meet your criteria. If a vehicle has a clean history, you can arrange a test drive with the seller and see the car in person.

In a carVertical history report, you can discover:

• mileage discrepancies
• past damages
• theft records
• ownership changes
• photos
• technical specifications
