Vehicle lookup & history

NHTSA VIN lookup

Decode a VIN with NHTSA vPIC to identify manufacturer-reported vehicle information. VIN decoding does not provide accident, ownership or maintenance history, and may not identify every installed option.

Safety recall lookup

Check NHTSA for open safety recalls. Review the lookup limitations and follow manufacturer instructions; a result showing no open recalls is not a vehicle-condition inspection.

Vehicle history lookup

Find an approved NMVTIS vehicle-history report provider through the U.S. Department of Justice directory. Provider charges may apply. Review title and reported vehicle-history information alongside service records and an independent inspection; a history report may not show every accident or repair.

NHTSA database downloads

Visit NHTSA vPIC Downloads for standalone VIN-decoding databases intended for developers and researchers. These downloads are not vehicle-history reports.

These external resources are provided for your convenience. Enter your VIN directly on the resource you choose. Auto Sales 1 does not automatically obtain or save the results of these external lookups.
