See what the paid report includes →AutoCheck’s score summarizes aspects of the reported history; VinAudit offers an NMVTIS-based consumer history product. A score and a title record are different kinds of information. Compare the underlying events, title states and mileage dates before choosing a report or accepting a seller’s claim that a high score proves the car is sound. VIN Lookup (free-vin-lookup.com) sells the original ClearVIN PDF for $14.99, one time, with no subscription; ClearVIN, which issues the report, is on the DOJ list of approved NMVTIS data providers.
- A summary score is not an inspection grade.
- Use the score’s own comparison context, not an assumed school-style grading scale.
- Title and mileage conflicts deserve attention regardless of score.

Interpret a score with its supporting events
AutoCheck explains that its score summarizes report information and can reflect vehicle-use and historical events. Read the supplied comparison range and the timeline together. A higher number does not measure brake wear, tyre condition or the quality of a repaired structure.

Illustrative scenario — invented figures and circumstances, not a customer case or an observed provider result. A seller supplies a March 2024 auction sheet describing structural damage and a June 2024 unbranded title. You are deciding what to investigate with AutoCheck or VinAudit. These are invented documents, not results returned by either service.
The decision is to reconcile two dated documents and inspect the structure. This exercise establishes no provider winner and no actual coverage result.
| Observation in this scenario | What it establishes | Next check |
|---|---|---|
| March auction sheet | Structural damage is stated on that document | Check the lot identifier, VIN and original auction announcement. |
| June unbranded title | The later document shows no brand | Check the issuing-state record; an unbranded title does not disprove the auction remark. |
| Question for the paid product | Auction detail and title history are separate evidence needs | Check which source categories the exact AutoCheck or VinAudit offer covers; do not assume one negative category answers both. |
Example added . This scenario is illustrative.
Evaluate the title evidence independently
NMVTIS reports focus on title and brand history, reported odometer information, total loss and salvage. Find the relevant state and event date rather than stopping at a reassuring summary. Commercial report add-ons have their own coverage; federal title data is not a complete service log.
Pick a report for your shortlist
If a seller provides AutoCheck, inspect the original current report before buying a duplicate service. If your remaining concern is a title event, identify the document needed to verify it. If the concern is mechanical condition, direct the next step toward an independent inspection and service evidence.
Buyer checklist
- Match the report to the VIN.
- Read the score comparison range.
- Inspect every title or loss flag.
- Arrange mileage events by date.
- Check current purchase terms.
- Obtain an independent condition assessment.
What this research cannot prove
- A score does not certify safety or mechanical condition.
- This compares public product information, not a purchased report test.
- VIN Lookup also offers commercial reports.

Frequently asked questions
Does a high AutoCheck score mean no accidents?
Do not infer that. Read the actual accident and damage entries. A summary number is not a substitute for the reported events.
Does VinAudit use the AutoCheck score?
They are separate products. Do not treat a rating or status from one provider as the other company’s score.
Can either report replace a title check?
Use the report to identify title history, then verify current transfer and lien questions with the actual documents and relevant agency.
