Terms used in this report
- State Title Brand
- A "branded title" is an official designation assigned by a state agency to associate a particular history with a vehicle. The branding system was put in place to warn potential owners about damage or other alterations to a vehicle that they might otherwise have been unaware of. The brands checked in this section are Fire, Hail, Flood, Junk/Scrapped, Lemon, Salvage, Rebuilt/Rebuildable, Odometer Brands (not actual miles, broken odometer, exceeding mechanical limits, mileage discrepancy, or suspect miles). Please note Grey Market and Insurance Loss or Theft brands are not checked in this box and can be found on other corresponding boxes.
- Auction Issue
- This section summarizes any issues if reported such as damage condition from seller's disclosure or during the inspection process including required structural damage disclosure, title brands, odometer issues, etc. as outlined by the National Auction Automotive Association Arbitration Policy 2025.
- Accident/Damage Check
- This section summarizes vehicle history events that may indicate an accident or damage and associated details such as point of impact, severity or airbag deployed if provided. These damage events will include collision damage information, police-reported accidents, salvage auction, recycler records, crash test vehicles, collision damage claims etc. including our exclusive auction announcements from two major auctions that may include damage events. There is also a clearly delineated section that includes non-collision damage events such as fire, hail or flood. Damage-indicated title brands will be in the state title brands section.
- Insurance Loss/Title Transfer
- This box checked to see if there is an insurance total loss or if a title has been transferred to an insurance company name as that event usually signifies that it is a total loss when showing after an accident.
- Additional History
- This section lists any other significant events that may not be a damage event or brand, but does give additional insights of the vehicle's history. These include abandoned, grey market, lien check, repossessed, theft etc.
- Odometer Check
- This section verifies if there are rollbacks, rollover or tampering has been reported from state Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or auction sources. We also examined the sequence of reported odometer readings to determine if there are any potential discrepancies.
- Salvage
- A salvage vehicle is a vehicle that has been wrecked or damaged beyond repair; declared a total loss by the insurer; or declared a total loss by reason of theft. When an insurance company as a result of a total loss settlement acquires a vehicle, the insurance company must apply for a Salvage Certificate. If the owner retains possession of a salvage vehicle, the owner must obtain a Salvage Certificate before receiving a total loss statement from the insurance company.
- Rebuilt/Rebuildable
- The vehicle was a salvaged vehicle that was refurbished with new or used parts. An affidavit of repair from the rebuilder or individual making the repairs, stating what repairs were made to the vehicle and that the vehicle is now rebuilt and road operable, may be required to obtain a rebuilt/rebuildable title. These vehicles must also pass a state safety inspection before being allowed back on the road.
- Major Damage Incident
- When a (i) State agency or third party reported an event that did or may have resulted in vehicle frame or mechanical damage, such as a collision or incident such as vandalism or theft, or (ii) a third party reported that an inspection indicates that a vehicle appears to have sustained frame or other damage. Not all damage events are reported and the damage severity of reported events will vary. In all events We recommend that prospective vehicle purchasers conduct a detailed vehicle inspection prior to purchase of a pre-owned vehicle.
- Insurance Total Loss
- Insurance companies label a vehicle a "total loss" when the cost to repair the vehicle to its pre-damaged state exceeds the cost of the vehicle's worth, or actual cash value. Insurance companies must follow certain state law (defined percentage of damage before it can be deemed a total loss) and they also can set their own standards for totaled vehicles.
- Insurance Title Transfer

About this report
This report brings together vehicle history, title, odometer, recall, warranty and auction records for this VIN. Records describing the same event are merged into one entry so nothing is counted twice.
Not every accident, repair or service is reported to us. A report with no problems is not a guarantee that none occurred — always combine it with a test drive and an independent pre-purchase inspection.

† This odometer reading is inconsistent with the odometer history. This could be due to a typographical, clerical, or rounding error and does not necessarily represent an odometer rollback by itself. If we receive additional odometer history that corroborates an odometer rollback, this display may change and that may impact other aspects of this report and the vehicle's qualifications.
