What is VIN Number?
A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique code assigned to every motor vehicle when it's manufactured. The VIN serves as the car's fingerprint, as no two vehicles in operation have the same VIN. A VIN is composed of 17 characters (digits and capital letters) that act as a unique identifier for the vehicle.
The VIN can be used to track recalls, registrations, warranty claims, thefts, and insurance coverage. When you're buying a used car, the VIN can be used to get the vehicle history report, which can reveal past accidents, title problems, odometer readings, and more.
Understanding your VIN and checking a vehicle's history before purchasing is an essential step in making an informed decision and avoiding costly mistakes.
Why Do a VIN Check Before Purchasing a Car?
Performing a VIN check before purchasing a used car is a crucial step that can save you from potential headaches and financial losses. A comprehensive vehicle history report can reveal important information about the car's past that might not be visible during a physical inspection.
- Uncover hidden damage from accidents
- Verify the odometer reading
- Check for flood or fire damage
- Identify title problems
- Discover service and maintenance history
