Testimonials from our customers
Ich hätte fast einen 2017 Mercedes-Benz C300 gekauft, bis der Bad Vin-Bericht zeigte, dass er als durch Überschwemmung beschädigt gemeldet wurde. Die detaillierten Schadensaufzeichnungen haben mich vor einem großen Fehler bewahrt!

I almost bought a used Honda but luckily checked the BadVin report first. Turned out it had a salvage title from flood damage that the seller didn't disclose. Phew, dodged a huge issue!
Emily Turner
verified on Trustpilot
I import used luxury cars from US auctions to resell in Russia. The vehicle history reports from badVIN are essential for avoiding problem cars. For a BMW I was bidding on, it uncovered a salvage title from flood damage that other reports missed! That alone pays for the service.

I always rely on badvin to check out any used car before I buy. It gives such a complete history, including past accidents, service records, recalls and much more. Feel so much more confident as a used car shopper having this info.

Significant damage from flood, fire, or hail may severely affect a 2005 VOLKSWAGEN vehicle's structure and mechanics, potentially resulting in a salvage title, depending on the extent of damage reported.
Service records may document maintenance and repairs, providing insight into the 2005 VOLKSWAGEN vehicle’s upkeep and potential future issues, if available.
