Buying a car that has already had an owner, possibly more than one, is a responsible step. The car's history, information about the seller, and many other details can significantly affect its operation, price, and safety. You can find the maximum information if you order a pre-purchase car inspection from CarfaxDoc.

What is included in the pre-purchase inspection?

The pre-purchase check is carried out using the VIN code, a unique identification number of the car body assigned at the factory. It includes all the important information about the car: manufacturer, year of manufacture, engine, etc. Later, the relevant services record everything that happens to it and link it to the VIN code. Therefore, it can be used to trace the vehicle's history after it has left the factory.

The code accurately identifies the vehicle and obtains important information that allows you to assess its real condition. This is the following information:

  1. Being involved in an accident. Cosmetic repairs can hide significant damage that affects the price and safety. Checking the car before buying it will indicate whether it was involved in an accident. From this, you can conclude the consequences of these events. 
  2. History of maintenance and repairs. Maintenance information allows you to assess how regularly the car was serviced. The repair history shows the severity of the breakdowns, whether caused by natural wear and tear of parts or other reasons. 
  3. Real mileage data. Falsifying odometer readings is a common way to mislead a buyer. Mileage is an important indicator that helps to predict the cost of operating a purchased car. Checking the VIN code will show whether the mileage indicated by the seller matches the actual mileage. 

The report also contains information about the owners and how the car was used. The VIN code will show how many owners the car had, whether used as a taxi or rented. This can be used to judge possible wear and tear and hidden defects.

If you check a used car before buying, you will find information hidden by the seller that the vehicle cannot be sold due to restrictions imposed: arrest and bail. The new owner will bear the fines unpaid by the previous owner.

The service collects information not only from archives but also in real-time. Therefore, it is relevant and shows the actual picture. This data allows us to assess the car's technical condition and predict possible financial problems.
