Why check a VIN with Vingeo?

Most imported and auction-sourced cars carry a history the seller would rather skip. One lookup shows you what the auction listing declared — before you negotiate, not after.

History without the mystery

Sale records, declared damage and the odometer reading recorded at listing time — an independent check against what you're being told.

Instant, no account needed

Enter the VIN and read the report right away. No subscription, no sign-up wall, free during our launch period.

Photos that don't disappear

Auction listings vanish after the sale. We archive the yard photos permanently the first time a VIN is checked.

Free VIN check report sample

See exactly what you'll get before you search. The sample is a genuine report for a genuine VIN — a 2021 Ford Bronco Sport sold at an IAAI salvage auction — rendered live by the same engine that will run your lookup: auction record, 16 archived photos, declared damage, odometer, specifications and recalls.

Safe, honest, no hidden fees

Reports are free while we launch, and when pricing arrives it will be per-report with the price stated up front. No subscription traps, no invented urgency, no padded sections — if we can't verify something, the report says so plainly.

Named, official sources

Every section of a Vingeo report states where its data came from: archived Copart and IAAI auction listings for the vehicle's real life, and official NHTSA databases for factory build data and recalls. See the full source list — including what we deliberately leave out.

Vingeo FAQ

Where do I find the VIN?

On the vehicle: the driver-side dashboard corner (visible through the windshield) and the driver door-jamb sticker. On paper: the registration document and insurance policy. In listings: almost every auction or classified listing prints it. It's always 17 characters and never contains the letters I, O or Q.

Which vehicles will have an auction record?

Any vehicle that passed through a Copart or IAAI auction in roughly the last decade — that covers most US salvage-title vehicles, many theft recoveries, and many fleet and lease returns. If the VIN never went through those auctions, the report still includes NHTSA specifications and recalls, and says clearly that no auction record was found.

Where do the photos come from?

They are the photos taken at the auction yard when the vehicle was listed. Vingeo archives them the first time a VIN is looked up, so they remain available even after the original listing disappears.

Is this an NMVTIS title report?

No. Vingeo is an independent service and is not an NMVTIS data provider. It reports auction listing data and official NHTSA data, and each section of the report names its source.

What does it cost?

Reports are free during our launch period. When pricing is introduced it will be per-report, with no subscription.

Can I check a motorcycle or a Canadian vehicle?

Yes — Copart and IAAI list motorcycles and operate Canadian branches, and the NHTSA decoder covers both. Use the same search box.
