When you're shopping for a car in Mystic, CT, our Bob Valenti Volkswagen of Mystic team wants you to be prepared. Pre-owned vehicles are popular because they are affordable, but how can you find out if it's been in any accidents? A vehicle history report is a beneficial way to find out about a vehicle that you have your eye on.
A vehicle history report has accident history and odometer readings. It also tells you if there are any liens on the vehicle and if there are any recall notices.
To get a vehicle history report, you'll need to have the vehicle identification number. This is also known as the VIN and is 17 digits. You can find the VIN on the bottom left side of the windshield, and it's also on insurance documents and the car's registration. There are several websites that you can use to obtain a vehicle history report, and you can also use the free VINCheck database by the National Insurance Crime Bureau.
