| Record | Source | What it answers |
|---|---|---|
| Ownership & title timeline | State DMV title and registration records | How many owners, how long each kept the car, any gaps |
| Title brands | State DMVs via national title data | Salvage, rebuilt, flood, lemon — the permanent marks |
| Odometer readings | Title transfers, inspections, service filings | Whether the mileage adds up or was rolled back |
| Accident & damage records | Salvage-auction records (Copart, IAA, SCA, CrashedToys) | What happened — with photos where recorded |
| Listing & price history | Dealer, marketplace and auction listings on 125M+ vehicles | What it was offered for, where, and for how long |
| Market comparison | Similar vehicles listed nearby | Whether the asking price is fair |

Full adds available ownership, title and registration records, full listing access and PDF download. Coverage varies by VIN; missing records do not prove a vehicle has no problems.
Why title brands and accidents change a car's value
A salvage, flood, lemon, rebuilt or junk title is the single biggest hit to a vehicle's value and safety, and many lenders and insurers treat branded cars differently. Reported accidents and damage filings have a smaller but real effect. Knowing about them before you buy is the difference between a fair price and an expensive surprise.
Where the data comes from
VehiLeaks covers more than 125 million vehicles, updated daily with about 100,000 new records: dealer and marketplace listings, salvage-auction records from Copart, IAA, SCA and CrashedToys with damage photos, NHTSA vPIC specs, state title and registration filings, and federal truck-crash data. Coverage and record depth vary by VIN and state, because each source reports differently.

When to buy a used car history report
Pull a report before you put down a deposit, before a private-party purchase, before bidding at auction, and even before listing a car you already own — a clean report you can show a buyer speeds up the sale and supports your asking price.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a vehicle history report cost?
Simple Reports start at $5.99 and Full Reports at $9.99 — as low as $4 and $6 per report in packages. No extra fees at checkout.
Is this a subscription?
No. A report purchase is a one-time payment and does not start a recurring subscription.
How is this different from Carfax or AutoCheck?
Compare a current sample from each provider with the records you need. VehiLeaks emphasizes available auction and listing photos alongside its paid report tiers; providers may have overlapping or different records for the same VIN.
How current is the data?
Report freshness depends on when each source records and supplies an event. Recent or unreported events may be missing; check the dates on the records and verify important findings independently.
Does every VIN have a full history?
No. Newer or lightly-traded vehicles may have few reported events, while older cars that changed hands often tend to have the richest histories.
