Testimonials from our customers
Was shopping for a used Range Rover and found one that seemed suspiciously cheap. The badVIN report revealed it had been in a major front end collision, with photos showing the damage. Steered clear of that one and saved myself a ton of headaches!!
Ava Patel
verified on Trustpilot
Bad Vin's vehicle history report showed that the 2018 Audi A4 I was about to buy had been in a major accident that was not disclosed by the seller. The severity analysis helped me avoid a bad purchase. Great service!
Sophie Dubois
verified on Trustpilot
As a used car dealer, I rely on badvin.org for checking every vehicle I'm considering purchasing at auction. The comprehensive reports give me peace of mind and help me avoid problem cars. Photos of past sales have saved me from overpaying many times. Worth every penny!
Misha
verified on Trustpilot
As a first time used car buyer, I was nervous about getting ripped off. The vehicle report from badvin gave me so much more confidence - it confirmed the car had a clean history and the mileage lined up. Such a relief to have that peace of mind.

Frequently asked questions
To find the correct VIN, check multiple locations where it is typically displayed, such as the dashboard, driver's door jamb, and vehicle registration documents, ensuring all instances match exactly.
Yes, the window sticker can help you negotiate a better price on a new 2011 BMW 3 SERIES by providing you with detailed pricing information and the cost of optional extras.
The report may include detailed records of previous repairs, including parts replaced, to give you a clear picture of the 2011 BMW vehicle's repair history, depending on the records available.
Depreciation directly affects the resale value of a 2011 BMW 3 SERIES, with faster depreciating vehicles typically having lower resale values over time.
Economic downturns can lead to decreased demand and lower resale values for vehicles, as buyers may defer purchasing vehicles or opt for less expensive alternatives.
A 'clean title' generally indicates that the vehicle has not been significantly damaged in the past and has no history of major incidents such as salvage or theft, if such information is documented.
The expected depreciation of a vehicle after three years can vary, but generally, cars lose a significant portion of their value within the first few years.
A potential buyer can use a VIN decoder to verify the features of a used car by confirming the model, trim level, and installed options, ensuring the features match those advertised.
While not necessary, decoding a VIN for a routine service appointment can provide the mechanic with precise model information, facilitating accurate service and parts replacement.
Flood damage, if reported, can compromise key systems and reduce the 2011 BMW 3 SERIES's reliability and value, detailed in the report for potential buyers.
