Start on Bumper.com →Used car listings rarely tell the full story. A report fills in the gaps so you're negotiating with facts, not guesswork.
Spot red flags like prior accidents, salvage titles, or theft records before you commit to a purchase.
Mileage and sticker price don't tell the whole story. See how accident and ownership history affect what a car is actually worth.
Walk into a negotiation — or a sale — with documented facts instead of relying on a seller's word.
Depending on the vehicle and data available, a report can include:
Check for reported accidents, salvage titles, or theft using the VIN or license plate.
See how many owners a vehicle has had, past registrations, and any outstanding liens.
NHTSA-sourced data on open recalls, warranty coverage, and vehicle-specific features.
Personalized maintenance guidance based on the vehicle's history and mileage.
A current estimate of the car's value based on condition, history, and market trends.
A plain-language summary of the report so you can assess a vehicle's condition in seconds.
If a report or listing shows any of the following, slow down and ask questions.
Title branded as salvage, rebuilt, or flood-damaged
Mileage that doesn't match service records (possible odometer rollback)
Open recalls that were never addressed
An active lien that hasn't been disclosed
Frequent past ownership changes in a short period
