Basics of CARFAX

CARFAX receives information from the Department of Motor Vehicles from all 50 states. They also gather data from insurance companies, collision-repair companies, law enforcement agencies, and other agencies. All this information is compiled into a report that is user-friendly. The CARFAX Vehicle History Report is one of the most comprehensive reports car buyers can get on used vehicles.

Information in the CARFAX Report

One of the first pieces of information you’ll see with this report is called the History-Based Value. This feature provides details about the worth of the vehicle based on the make and model, service records, recalls, and if the vehicle has been in any accidents. It also calculates the value based on the number of prior owners.
In this section, you’ll see a description of the vehicle with trim, model year, body style, and powertrain. It includes the VIN and whether the vehicle has been used as a commercial vehicle. The report includes whether there has been any damage. If there are issues, you’ll get more details.

Ownership Information

Another section of the CARFAX report is Ownership History. This provides more details about prior owners, including how many miles the vehicle has been driven each year. You’ll see the Title History, which tells you if there has been fire or flood damage to the vehicle or any other reasons for the defective title.
The report tells if there are open recall notices and if the vehicle has structural damage from an accident. It tells if the vehicle is still under warranty and whether the odometer reading matches the actual number of miles it has been driven.

Detailed Information

When you read the CARFAX report, you’ll see each previous owner listed. It also tells you when the vehicle was first delivered to the dealership, recorded service visits, any accidents, and sales to secondary owners.
If there are any accidents reported, you’ll see information on the Damage Severity Scale. This section shows you where the damage was located on the vehicle and how severe it was.
