Imports from the UK, US and Europe

For vehicles with a standard 17-character VIN, the report can show US auction and title history, recalls and odometer readings that you cannot see from the listing.

  • Accident and auction history where available
  • Salvage, rebuilt and flood title brands
  • Odometer readings over time
  • Open recalls

Japanese imports use a different number

Many Japanese-market cars are identified by a shorter chassis number (for example NZE161-1234567) rather than a 17-character VIN. Our report needs a standard VIN, so for those cars ask the seller for the auction sheet and use it alongside an independent inspection.

Frequently asked questions

Can I check a Japanese import by VIN in Kenya?

Only if the car has a standard 17-character VIN. Japan-domestic cars often carry a shorter chassis number, which our report does not cover.

Is the VIN decode free?

Yes. The basic decode of manufacturer specifications is free; the full history report is a paid upgrade.
