How to check the history of your used car

To check the history of your used car you will have to find the VIN number, which stands for Vehicle Identification Number. Every vehicle manufactured after 1981 or later has a unique 17-character vehicle identification number. A VIN has many important uses, including unlocking important information about a vehicle's history. Service shops use VIN's to identify engines, transmissions and brake systems installed by manufacturers so that they can properly service vehicles with the correct parts. Law enforcement agencies also benefit from cars having VINs as they can use them to identify and recover stolen cars and parts.

Locate the VIN in your car easily. There are a number of places that the VIN is mainly located in cars, these are most commonly found on the dashboard (you can see it through the windshield), on the driver's side door jamb sticker, and in some cases VINS have been found on the engines, hood and other parts.



Once you have your VIN number you can check the history of your car very easily. You can check online for a small fee what your car's history is, we have found a few websites that provide this service:
