Data sources

Every section of a Vingeo report names its source. This page is the complete list — what each source provides, and what it cannot.

Archived auction listings (Copart & IAAI)

When a VIN is looked up, Vingeo captures the vehicle's public auction listing data and archives it permanently on our own infrastructure. This provides:

• Sale record: auction house, sale date, lot number, seller, branch location
• Sale document as declared (e.g. salvage, clean, rebuilt — with the issuing state)
• Declared damage: loss type, primary and secondary damage, run-and-drive status
• Odometer reading recorded at listing time
• Bid figures where recorded: final bid, actual cash value, estimated repair cost
• Yard photos, archived at full resolution

Limits: only vehicles that passed through these auctions appear; private sales, dealer trades, and vehicles auctioned elsewhere do not. Listing data is shown as declared by the seller and auction house.

NHTSA vPIC decoder

The official US government VIN decoder provides the factory build data in the “Vehicle specifications” section: year, make, model, series, engine, transmission, drive line, restraint systems, and assembly plant. Queried live at report time.

NHTSA recall database

Open safety campaigns matched by make, model, and model year, queried live at report time. Limit: whether a given recall was already repaired on a specific vehicle is known only to franchised dealers.

What Vingeo does not include

• NMVTIS state title chains — Vingeo is not an NMVTIS data provider
• Lien and impound registries
• Police theft registries (check your national registry as well)
• Insurance claim databases beyond what auction listings disclose
• State emission-test histories

If a section can't be filled from a source above, it is omitted — a Vingeo report never pads itself with unverifiable data.
