Dealbreakers

Check accident history,
title and mileage.

A vehicle history check can help you spot reported damage, salvage or rebuilt titles, and gaps in recorded mileage. Coverage varies by vehicle and source; unreported damage may not appear.

01

Title brands

Salvage, rebuilt and flood titles can affect safety, insurance and resale value.

02

Mileage gaps

Readings that reverse or disappear for years deserve a much closer inspection.

03

Damage records

Reported collisions and total losses give you leverage to inspect, negotiate or walk.

How VIN checks, car history reports and license plate lookups work—and what the records can tell you.

[email protected]
A vehicle history report brings together available records about a car, including title history, reported accidents, mileage readings, vehicle specifications, recalls and market-value context. Records vary by vehicle and source; a report cannot show every incident or replace a mechanical inspection.
Enter the car’s 17-character vehicle identification number in the VIN search above. You can usually find the VIN near the driver-side windshield, on the driver’s door frame, or on registration documents. Confirm the vehicle match before continuing.
Yes. Choose license plate lookup and enter the US plate number and state. RoadDocs attempts to resolve the plate to a VIN so you can confirm the vehicle before the report is built.
The report checks available accident, damage and title records, including reported salvage, rebuilt or flood brands. An empty section means no matching records were returned by the available sources; it does not prove a car has never been damaged.
Each completed report is generated on demand from available vehicle-data sources. Reporting delays and gaps can occur, so recent incidents or changes may not appear yet.
Yes. We email you a shareable link when the report is ready, so you can reopen it later without signing in.

Used-car rule no. 1

Don’t buy blind.

Start your vehicle history check with a VIN or US license plate. Confirm the car before the full report is built.
