What people say about VinStatus

I was buying a BMW X5 from a private seller and ran the VIN before the deal. The report showed the car had been in a major accident 2 years ago with airbag deployment. The owner swore it was 'never damaged.' Saved me a lot of money and stress. Recommend it to everyone.

I spent a long time choosing a used Audi A6. For one car the report showed real mileage of 280k instead of the 'honest' 145k on the odometer. Thanks for the rollback check — it's simply priceless.

I don't know much about cars. Before buying a Kia Sportage I ran the VIN and saw the car had worked as a taxi for 3 years. The seller hid it, of course. I walked away and found another option. For 99 cents — really useful.

Great service. I bought a 2020 Toyota Camry — the report showed a clean history, no accidents and full dealer service. The car really is in perfect shape. Recommend it — saves time on haggling and inspection.

I've been using the Premium subscription for a month — choosing a VW Tiguan. Convenient to check without limits. For one car there was little data (Ukrainian region), but the team responded quickly and helped.

We were buying my husband a BMW 3 Series. The report showed the car had been imported from the US after a serious accident — the Copart auction photos showed a bent body. The seller 'forgot' to mention it during the test drive. So glad VinStatus exists!

I got a monthly subscription and checked 14 cars. For 9 of them I found serious problems (rolled-back mileage, taxi use, unpaid customs). In the end I bought a great Hyundai Tucson with a clean history. It paid off with a single avoided bad car.

My husband asked me to run an Audi Q5 before viewing. The report came in a minute — we saw full dealer service history and no accidents. We went to view it with confidence. We bought the car and are very happy with both the service and the vehicle.

I ran a report on a 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado — all clear, found two accidents the seller hid. Downside: once the report took longer than usual, about 5 minutes. Support replied quickly and explained one of the databases was slow.

I bought a VW Passat B8 imported from Germany. The report showed real service mileage and confirmed the German registration. It matched what the seller said — a rare case where the report convinced me to buy rather than the opposite.

Nice that the report can be downloaded as a PDF — I showed it to my lawyer during the paperwork. Bought a BMW X3 with a clean history under a dealer contract. Convenient service, clear interface, fair price. Once everything's settled, I'll get Premium for choosing my sister's next car.

They helped me find out that a 2018 Kia Rio was a former car-sharing vehicle, though the seller said nothing about it. We dropped the purchase and found another car with a clean history for similar money. The service saves real money and time on long trips to view cars.
