HOW DOES IT WORK?
Find the VIN in the vehicle documents, on the dashboard, or on the body. Enter the VIN in the carVertical app. Get a detailed vehicle history report and compare the records with the seller's claims.
WHAT CAN A REPORT INCLUDE?
If available, carVertical reports may include mileage history, damage records, theft checks, previous use, historical photos, price changes, ownership changes, service-related details, equipment information, and other facts that help you understand a vehicle's past.
WHY CHECK VEHICLE HISTORY?
Mileage rollbacks, hidden damage, previous accidents, theft records, and poorly maintained vehicles can lead to expensive repairs or safety concerns. A car history check helps you make a more confident decision before buying, selling, or inspecting a used car.
Use carVertical for car checks, VIN checks, vehicle history reports, mileage checks, damage history, theft checks, historical photos, ownership details, price history, service records, equipment details, and used car research before you buy.
Download carVertical and check a VIN before your next used car purchase.
Great app with really impressive vehicle reports — both the short and full versions are clear, detailed, and very helpful. It covers a vast amount of information on a car, which gives real peace of mind.Customer support is excellent too. Even over the Christmas break, I received a quick and helpful response and my issue was resolved without hassle. The only small snag is that reports don’t seem to download properly to my iPhone, but overall I’m still 100% happy with the app and the service.

Wow, thank you so much for this absolutely wonderful and detailed review! We are completely thrilled to hear your feedback. It's fantastic that you found the reports to be helpful. We are especially proud of our customer support team, and your comments have made our day. Knowing they provided a quick and hassle-free solution, even over the Christmas break, is the standard we always strive for.Thank you also for flagging the issue with downloading reports to your iPhone. This is valuable technical feedback. As a quick tip, sometimes the files save automatically to the "Files" app on your iPhone rather than opening directly. Your 100% satisfaction is the best compliment we could ever hope for. Thank you again!
Not clear if purchases made ?

Too complex and not sure if purchase made. Simply try to buy a report, then after adding CC details and click on BUY, it only then insists on an account. Which I set up, now won’t let me buy a single report? And I’m not clear if clicking on it multiple times has charged my CC many times also? I just wanted to buy a report, I don’t need all this complexity. I’m going to use old fashioned HPI

Saw the link on Mat Armstrong and Calvin’s vlogs . I was nearly in my way to buy a car and decided to check it out. So glad I did as the car wasn’t what it seemed . The check clarified everything I needed to know . Found more damage than disclosed and an issue with ownership . Didn’t buy it . All good thank you worth every penny especially with the MAT discount
