About this app

πŸš— FutureVin
FutureVin helps you check a car’s future reliability, ownership risk, and likely costs before you buy.

How to Use It (3 Simple Steps)

Every car has a unique 17-character VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). You can find it:

On the dashboard (through the windshield)

Step 2: Get Your Engine DNA Report πŸ“Š
FutureVin analyzes the vehicle and shows:

Make, Model, and Year
Engine code and configuration
Common known issues for that engine family
Reliability score (P-Score, 0–100)
🟒 80–100 = Strong reliability profile
🟑 50–79 = Mixed profile, monitor known risks
πŸ”΄ 0–49 = Higher-risk profile, more reported issues
Reliability timeline by mileage
Legal/class-action history (when available)
