The Vehicle History Report is a concise report on the service life of a vehicle which presents its past based on the VIN number. The report consists of several sections organised in a clear and legible time-ordered linear layout. It allows verifying the vehicle history via the VIN, which might impact the quality of the selected vehicle. It's one of the most important elements which the buyer should get acquainted with before purchasing a car. Already during browsing the purchase/sale offers, it's worth getting acquainted with an autoDNA report in order to filter the good-quality cars from the so-called lemon car (cars with defects and hidden salvage past). Information included in the report improves the transparency of the automotive industry and raises its level to the world-class one.

autoDNA Vehicle History Report - Prior Information

It’s worth keeping in mind that aside from the cars manufactured on-demand which are registered right after being manufactured in a car dealership, there are also available popular engine versions and trim levels in colours often selected by customers (e.g. silver metallic, red, white). Such cars usually await the customer, so 3-4 months of delay between the manufacture date and the first registration date is nothing uncommon. However, a difference bigger than half a year should arouse more alertness.

Notification center

The Notification Center allows in an easy way checking the content of the report for a particular VIN number, as it contains the most important notifications concerning the vehicle history. The data is presented in a simple and legible form, comprehensive already on the level of the visual reception. You can find there the number of entries of each section, for which a notification of a particular character is assigned, which is intuitive already “at first glance”. It facilitates understanding quickly the notification and possible detailed analysis and evaluation of a given section.

In the Notification Center, you can find e.g.:

results of the stolen vehicle database search
tax lien databases search results
service actions
mileage readings
pricing history

Information about vehicle

Based on the vehicle VIN number, our system verifies such information as, e.g. make, model, vehicle type, body, engine type, manufacturer's country, model year, production year, transmission type, steering system type and many other.

In this section you can also find information about VIN correctness. In case of some manufacturers it is possible to check the correctness of the VIN number (according to ISO standard) and the check digit. However, some of the manufacturers do not provide such a possibility. In such a case we communicate after a free check "Information - unavailable".

Manufacturers Recalls

Here we present the information regarding manufacturers recalls. In case of reporting such recalls, our report shows what can be the problem, effects and potential fix to be done in Authorized Service Point (the vehicle should have such fix in its history). We also present the production date of the vehicle which has to be covered by remedial action.

autoDNA is the only service on the market presenting all the information according to points described above.

We are partners with international operator - Traffic Safety and Transport Supervision Agency, namely the operator of one of the biggest manufacturer's servicing databases (VOSA). Please, note, that we always indicate the source of information. The information could have been submitted to two different organizations like VOSA and Polish UOKIK (Consumer and Competition Protection Office) at the same time, but only in the case of the latter we appoint the information source.

Stolen Vehicle Database

Stolen vehicle database contains information about specific countries, where the car you are checking could have been reported as stolen.
Both number of countries and institutions, where we verify if the vehicle has been stolen is constantly growing.

All the results should be treated only as an information. autoDNA service cannot guarantee that the information about theft or its lack is uncontested. Please, find it only as a tip and, regardless of the result, have the vehicle checked by government institution (incl. Police) or independent expert.

Remember - if you have noticed, that the vehicle you are checking is reported as stolen, please consult this obligatory with the police.

Last Enquiries

This section contains information about how often, when and from what location a particular vehicle was interested, viewed its configuration and ordered a report on it in our service.

Among other things, this knowledge proves useful to a potential buyer, as it lets him know how much interest there was in a particular vehicle. Multiple checks from different locations can indicate the fact of frequent change of ownership or that the owner has been unsuccessfully trying to sell it for a long time. If a sales transaction has not materialized, this should pique your interest and attention. A history of checks visualized on a map is also available in this section.

Equipment

Here you can find the information regarding the equipment of your vehicle. The information will be presented in the report depending on their availability in our system.

The information that may be presented is:

trim information - that is if moldings, bumpers, mirrors, door handles are in the same color as body or not
glass color
A/C type
navigation or audio system type
heated and folding mirrors

number of airbags, etc.

autoDNA Vehicle History Report - Equipment

It is worth to verify such information before buying a used car. Check exactly what pieces of equipment are on the report and compare them with currently installed on the vehicle. Here some examples: glass color before the vehicle is bought, since if the vehicle had an accident, the new glass is not original one or taken from another vehicle to save the money and its color may then vary. A similar situation may occur, for example in case of mirrors. See what have been installed in the original, whether they are folded, electrically operated and heated.

It is also worth checking if the vehicle actually does not have additional equipment such as "auxiliary electric windows" or other elements, which were not included at the production stage.

Vehicle Archive Photos

Here you will find the image gallery of the checked vehicle. In special cases the images may be repeated if the owner shared the images with various entities. You should pay attention to the fact, that the presented vehicle has been staying for sale for a long time without any success. Moreover, take notice that in some cases the photos present damaged vehicle advertised currently as accident-free. Please note - if the free check does not provide any images of the vehicle, the paid report will not include any either.

I was hoping to find odometer history about the used car I wanted to buy. I found a useful entry of it, and even ~70pcs of pictures about the car where I saw some paint dents which were repaired in the meantime. SO it totally worth the money I've spent!
