Vehicle History Report: Everything You Need to Know


Buying a used car can generate a great deal of stress and anxiety. Handing over your hard-earned money for any car is difficult, especially when the vehicle's past is unknown.

The condition of the exterior and interior indicates the degree of care by the previous owner. Still, looking at the visible areas of a vehicle won't tell you anything about routine repairs and maintenance or whether it was involved in an accident.

Used car buyers should review the vehicle's history to uncover any hidden problems the car has experienced during its time on the road. Read on to learn what information a vehicle history report contains and how it can help you make an informed decision about buying a used car.

What is a vehicle history report?

A vehicle history report is a collection of records that provide information about a used car that can affect your buying decision or how much to pay for it. Vehicle life records or events are collected from thousands of sources. They can help you answer these crucial questions:

·       Ownership: How many people have owned this car?

·       Accident(s): Was this car involved in any collisions?

·       Mileage: Does this car's odometer show accurate mileage?

·       Inspections: Has this car passed all inspections up to date?

·       Lemon: Does this car have the Lemon brand?

What is not listed on the vehicle history?

Companies that provide vehicle history reports, such as Reg Check UK, strive to keep their information up to date. However, the reports will only show the latest event submitted to the reporting companies. A vehicle may have been wrecked, repaired and sold before a record of the incident appears in the databases the companies use to collect information.

A car reg check report will not tell you the overall condition of the car or its level of wear and tear. For example, the history summary does not indicate that a car's tires have worn tread or that the rotors need to be replaced.

Vehicle history reports may indicate that a vehicle has only one owner, but will not give the name of the person. The information will not provide any clues about the driving habits of previous owners.

When is a vehicle history needed?

It pays to be prepared when buying a used vehicle and also when selling it. A vehicle history report can help both used car buyers and sellers.

·       If you are buying a used car, the information in a report can help you identify any hidden problems with the vehicle, such as previous flooding or other salvage tags.

·       If you're selling a used car, showing a vehiclehistory report to prospective buyers can help dispel doubts about the car's history and therefore make it easier to sell the vehicle.

Is an inspection still necessary?

A vehicle history report is not a substitute for a mechanic's inspection. We believe the best practice is to obtain a thorough examination by an independent mechanic before purchasing a vehicle. A professional can check the car for hidden damage.
