Avoid odometer fraud & more: comprehensive VIN history check

📛 What is BADVIN and why our Vehicle Reports?

BADVIN is a vehicle history report database for consumer protection purposes.
We provide sales history and maintenance records of vehicles. You can see recent sales data including sale prices and photos, car condition, historical damages, number of owners, odometer readings, and other important information.
We also use artificial intelligence to automatically flag cars for potential odometer rollbacks and suspicious sales activities.

See before you buy: unveiling the power of past photos in VIN history reports

Imagine this: you're browsing a used car listing, enticed by the sleek description and spotless service records. But what if you could see beyond the polished words and peer into the car's true past?

That's exactly what including old photos in VIN history reports offers. Here's why it's a game-changer for used car buyers:

  • Visual storytelling: Text descriptions can only go so far. Photos capture the car's exterior condition, revealing dents, scratches, or fading paint that might not be mentioned. They showcase the interior's wear and tear, like worn upholstery or cracked trim. This visual context paints a more realistic picture of the car's overall condition.
  • Accident history: Photos can sometimes reveal subtle signs of past repairs or bodywork, hinting at potential accident damage not explicitly mentioned in the report. This empowers you to ask informed questions and make decisions based on the car's true history.
  • Mileage oddities: Comparing photos from different points in the car's history can expose inconsistencies in wear and tear that might suggest tampered odometers. This crucial information helps you avoid fraudulent listings and protects your investment.
  • Non-standard additions: Photos can unveil unauthorized modifications like aftermarket parts or cosmetic changes not disclosed in the report. This transparency allows you to factor in potential costs of repairs or replacements associated with such modifications.
  • Openness and honesty: Including photos demonstrates the seller's commitment to transparency. It fosters trust in the buying process and allows you to make an informed decision with confidence.

Frequently asked questions
VIN decoding assists in insurance processes by providing accurate vehicle identification, which is crucial for policy creation, risk assessment, and claim processing.
The manufacturing location can be interpreted from the first character of the VIN, which indicates the country of assembly, and sometimes more specific location details are included in the first few characters.
Yes, the choice of vehicle color can impact the depreciation rate, with neutral colors typically being easier to sell and potentially holding their value better than more unconventional colors.
Sales prices from past transactions may be documented in our reports, providing a price history that aids in determining current market value, if such data is available.
While a VIN decoder generally does not provide dealership information, it can tell you the region where the vehicle was originally sold.
A salvage title generally indicates that the vehicle was declared a total loss by an insurance company due to severe damage from an accident, flood, or other causes, if such information is recorded.
Safety ratings, if available, provide information from crash tests and safety evaluations, which can help assess the vehicle vehicle's protection level in accidents.
A vehicle history report provides past data and records but cannot assess the current physical condition of a vehicle, underscoring the need for an independent inspection before purchase.
A reconstructed title, if issued, indicates significant past repairs after severe damage, which can impact the vehicle vehicle’s safety and value.
Odometer readings in our reports are verified for accuracy, helping protect against fraud and ensuring you get reliable information on the vehicle, if these records are present.

Testimonials from our customers

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.
Report showed a car I was considering had a prior salvage title from a major accident, even though carfax listed it as clean. Messaged seller asking about it and they made shady excuses. Def avoided a scam thanks to badvin!
I've tried a bunch of different vehicle history reports over the years and badvin.org has been the most comprehensive by far. Stuff like service records, ownership history, lien and repo info that I haven't found elsewhere. Def go-to resource when shopping for used vehicles now.
Was about to buy a used 2016 Camry but decided to get the badvin report first. Turns out the car had been in a serious crash and was declared a total loss by insurance, even tho carfax showed it as clean! Dodged a bullet on that one. ty badvin
