A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character code assigned to every car. It's like a car's fingerprint!
The VIN number contains crucial information, including the vehicle's manufacturer, model, year, engine type, and country of origin. It also tracks the car's history, such as accidents, repairs, and ownership. A VIN is usually found on the car's dashboard, door frame, or engine block.
With over 52% of used vehicles in Europe with hidden history, a European VIN number lookup will help you avoid financial booby traps and cars with bad histories, ensuring you buy with confidence and drive with peace of mind. Here's why running a VIN number check is essential before closing your next car deal:
1 in 3 used cars has a hidden problem. A European VIN check provides detailed information about a car's past, including accidents, repairs, or ownership changes, ensuring you're not blindsided by undisclosed issues.
A car's accident history can reveal whether a car has undergone major repairs that might compromise its safety or performance. A VIN check helps you avoid vehicles with serious damage.
Odometer tampering is common with up to 30% of European used cars with tampered odometers. A VIN check uncovers inconsistencies in mileage records, protecting you from paying more for a vehicle with manipulated mileage.
A VIN number check verifies that the vehicle's title is clean and free from issues like salvage or rebuilt titles, which could affect the car's value and insurability.
About 10% of vehicles on European roads have unresolved recall issues. A VIN check ensures you're aware of any unresolved recalls, enabling you to address safety concerns before purchasing a car.
EU police recorded an average of 697,000 vehicle thefts between 2015 to 2017. Checking the VIN against international databases helps confirm the vehicle hasn't been reported as stolen, saving you from legal troubles or losing the car.
