About this app

Looking for a used vehicle? Want to know the full history of your own car?

Car History Check is a VIN decoder and vehicle history report app that helps reveal key vehicle details before you buy. Use it to check available records for mileage rollbacks, hidden damage, theft records, historical photos, service history, auction history, salvage status, equipment details and other important vehicle information.

WHAT IS A VIN?

VIN means vehicle identification number. It is a unique 17-character code used to identify a specific car, truck, bus, trailer or other vehicle. From production to service, ownership changes, accidents and scrapyard records, important vehicle life events can be connected to the VIN.

WHAT IS A VIN DECODER?

A VIN decoder, also known as a car history check, VIN lookup or vehicle history check, helps decode the VIN number and collect available records from vehicle databases. This can include manufacturing data, model details, original equipment, mileage records, accident history, theft records, damage history and more.

WHY CHECK VEHICLE HISTORY?

A VIN number check helps compare a vehicle's condition across different dates. This can reveal discrepancies caused by accidents, part replacement, tuning, faults, mileage fraud or a seller hiding important facts.

Car History Check can help you learn more than a seller may want to tell you. Use the report to make a more confident buying decision or negotiate the price with more confidence.

YOU CAN USE CAR HISTORY CHECK TO:

• Check key vehicle facts, including production year, engine size, power and transmission type
• Review original equipment and vehicle details
• Look for hidden damage, odometer fraud and theft records
• Learn about available service history and model issues
• View historical vehicle photos when available

Never buy a used vehicle without checking its history. Download Car History Check and run a VIN lookup before your next purchase.

After loading the app and entering a Vin number it came up with the right vehicle. Also inform me if I get the paid version I can get more the information on the vehicle. I proceed to pay and that's where it all ends. The vehicle was scraped two months ago being in a fire and burned out. No mention of that. I went out of the app and opened it again. It asked me to pay again. 😠

Great app to use when looking to buy a car and to save time you should subscribe to the app and you can look back at other cars you've seen and compare the specs. This useful app recommendation saved me no end trouble and it also saved me from buying a lemon when the owner said it was ready to go and it turned out not because it failed the public 173 things go without saying that I didn't buy that car !!

I only discovered the app by accident, after I had unknowingly bought a car with lots of “bad hidden history”. However, through the use of in-app purchases, I was able to buy 3*FULL CAR HISTORY CHECKS at a specially reduced price and uses the FULL CAR HISTORY CHECK as part of my evidence to get a FULL REFUND of the moneyI had paid for the “unreliable car” I had purchased.
