Decoded from the VIN structure itself. This describes the vehicle as built, and says nothing about its auction history.

Sources and methodology

This report combines persisted auction records from IAAI. Values describe what the auction sources reported at each recorded date; they are not an independent inspection or a guarantee that no other history exists.

Submitting opens a request. Each one is reviewed by a person, and the decision and its reasoning are recorded. Approved requests hide records from public pages; they do not erase the underlying data.
