Questions about VIN reports

Korean Insurance History covers cars registered in South Korea: insurance claims with repair costs, owner and number changes, mileage, rental or commercial use, equipment, export declarations and recalls. The five other reports also hold Korean records next to the US and other markets.

Yes. The check asks every report whether it has records for the VIN and returns a short preview. A report is charged only when its files are ready, one charge for all the formats you chose.

The check says so and that report cannot be ordered for the VIN, so you never pay for an empty report. A missing record never proves a clean history.

Every report comes as JSON, a ready HTML page and a PDF, made from the same data. Each report lists its languages: English, Russian or both.

No. Sample VINs use fictional records to show what a report looks like. Through the API they answer at once and cost nothing, also with a demo key.

Listing data comes with each Encar car on sale, as fields. VIN reports are ordered by VIN for any car, also one that is not for sale, and come as finished reports.
