Record counts are the number of reported events (registrations, inspections, service visits, sales) in a report — not accident counts. A report with no or few records does not prove a clean history.

All makes

How these numbers were made

Based on 1,166 vehicles checked on VINinfohub.com, updated November 8, 2026. Make, model and model year come from decoding each VIN with NHTSA's vPIC service. Record counts are the latest result of each source per vehicle, and only reports that had records are counted, because an empty result can also be a failed lookup. Copart and IAAI are only searched when a visitor asks for them, so auction shares are a lower bound. Automated bulk lookups are left out. Numbers based on fewer than 30 vehicles are not shown, and a model gets its own page only after 50 different vehicles were checked.
