How can we help you?

Enter any 17-character US VIN to instantly see the year, make, and model for free. If you want the full vehicle history, you can purchase a complete report for $14.99 — generated instantly and viewable online for 30 days, with a PDF download available from the report page.

Reports are generated instantly. As soon as your payment is processed, the full report opens in your browser. Your confirmation email contains a secure link back to the report so you can return to it any time during the 30-day access window.

A full Vinpanda report includes title and salvage history, outstanding lien checks, stolen vehicle status, odometer rollback detection, accident and structural damage records, flood/fire/hail brands, full ownership history, NHTSA safety recalls, and complete auction records with damage photos where available.

Vinpanda reports are sourced from NMVTIS — the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System maintained under the federal Anti-Car Theft Act. Federal law requires US insurers, salvage yards, and junk yards to report to NMVTIS, and most state DMVs also report title and registration data.

Vinpanda offers the same core NMVTIS data as the major providers at a fraction of the price — $14.99 per report, no subscription, no account required. You only pay when you actually need a report.

You have 30 days of online access to view your report from the secure link in your confirmation email. During that window you can also download the report as a PDF — once downloaded, it is yours to keep permanently.

The mileage in your report reflects the most recent reading reported to NMVTIS — typically from a state DMV during a title transfer, registration, or inspection. If the vehicle has been driven since that report was filed, the current odometer reading will naturally be higher.

A mileage discrepancy means the odometer was reported lower at a later date than at an earlier one — a classic sign of potential odometer rollback. This is a serious red flag that warrants further investigation before purchase. Federal law makes odometer tampering illegal.

A Vinpanda report shows every accident that was reported to NMVTIS or the connected databases. Minor incidents that were never filed with an insurer or the DMV may not appear. We recommend pairing every report with a physical inspection from a qualified mechanic.

Email support@vinpanda.com from the address you used at checkout, along with the VIN, and we will resend the secure link to your report. If your 30-day online window has expired, get in touch and we will help you regain access.

Because reports pull live data from government databases at the moment of purchase, all sales are final. You get 30 days of online access to your full report and can download it as a PDF to keep. We strongly recommend using the free vehicle preview to confirm the year, make, and model before purchasing.

Vinpanda covers any vehicle with a US-issued 17-character VIN — cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, RVs, ATVs, and trailers registered in any US state. Vehicles with non-US VINs or pre-1981 vehicles with non-standard VINs may return limited results.

No. VIN checks are completely private. The seller is never notified that their vehicle was looked up.

No. Reports open directly in your browser via a secure link in your confirmation email. If you want a copy for your records, you can download the PDF from the report page. There is no app, no software, and no account to set up.

Each report is a snapshot of the data at the time of purchase. If you are selling a vehicle months or years after running the original report, we recommend pulling a fresh report so the buyer sees current information.
