SUMMARY

The vehicle with its own photograph, and six headline checks — odometer, open safety recalls, accidents, last reported mileage, sales history and owner count, each carrying a count of what was found.

Ownership History

OWNERSHIP

Each owner in turn with estimated miles per year, last reported reading, year of purchase and length of use — flagging the point where the mileage stops making sense.

Vehicle Details

SPECS

Twenty-one decoded fields — engine, drivetrain, dimensions, tyres, fuel economy — down to the original invoice price and MSRP the car was sold at new.

Title & Brand Checks

CHECKS

Ten NMVTIS odometer conditions with a mileage-over-time chart, open safety recalls, salvage and insurance records, the full title trail, and every brand checked — salvage, rebuilt, flood, hail, taxi, police, gray market and more.

Vehicle Damages

DAMAGE

Reported impacts plotted onto a diagram of the car and listed by date, with the damage type recorded against each — front end, partial or incomplete repair, dents and scratches.

Sales History with Photos

SALES

Every past listing with asking price, odometer, location and ten photographs taken at the sale — exterior, interior, engine bay and a close shot of the instrument cluster, so the reading on the dial can be checked against the record.

Market Value & Ownership Cost

VALUE

Dealer and auction price ranges for this exact vehicle, price against year and against mileage, every recorded price change, and a five-year projection of depreciation, insurance, fuel, maintenance, repair, tax and fees.

A complete vehicle report

Every section comes from a real report — a 2012 Bentley Continental GT with four owners, three suspected odometer rollbacks, eight recorded impacts and photographs from five past sales.
