FAQ
A little more clarity.
Good questions come before good decisions.
What can a VIN check tell me?
A record can include auction photos, vehicle specifications, mileage, damage descriptions, and sale outcomes. What you see depends on the records available for that vehicle.
Is this a complete vehicle history?
No. Auction records are not a complete ownership, accident, or service history. Missing records do not prove that a vehicle has never been damaged or sold at auction.
Where does the information come from?
Our archive is designed to store available Copart and IAAI auction data supplied through Apibara.
Can I remove a vehicle’s history?
You can pay to remove one lot’s photos and details from VIN Lookup. Other lots for the VIN, auction websites, and search engine caches are outside this service.
