Can I buy a report if I don't know the vehicle's VIN or license plate?

What type of information does AutoCheck provide?
AutoCheck provides information about the vehicle's title, registration and usage history. Each report displays the results of our comprehensive search for salvage or junk vehicles; damage from hail, flood or fire; mileage discrepancies or odometer rollback; and gray market vehicles. AutoCheck also looks for lemon vehicles; vehicles designated as rentals, taxis or fleet usage; abandoned or forfeited vehicles; records of theft; and loan/liens that represent ownership interests or unpaid judgments. AutoCheck reports on accident damage when that information is provided to it. AutoCheck does NOT provide the names of or information pertaining to a vehicle's previous owner(s). AutoCheck may not provide information on every accident in which a vehicle may have been involved. Learn more about our data sources»

What is the patented AutoCheck Score™?
The AutoCheck Score helps predict the likelihood the car will be on the road in 5 years. Only AutoCheck has the patented AutoCheck Score to help you assess a vehicle's predicted reliability and compare it to similar cars in its class. This information helps to:

• Compare vehicles of similar class and age based on a scale of 1 to 100
• Predict the reliability your car will be on the road in 5 years
• Understand a vehicle’s reliability as it pertains to vehicle’s age, number of owners and accidents
• Lower the risk of buying a vehicle with undetected problems.

When I enter my VIN or license plate I receive a "no history found" message – what does this mean?
A "No Records Found" message means that our vehicle history data search found no information in that category at this point in time. It could mean that the car was manufactured before 1981 and it doesn't have the vehicle information number (VIN) we need to find the answers you're looking for. It could also mean that the car is so new that there are no records currently on file. Check back soon, once it's had some time on the road.
