What the report is intended to show

VINinspect lists title, odometer, loss and sales-history categories and provides a sample report. The sample, a 2018 BMW X5, opens with counts of odometer, accident, sales and owner records. Below come ownership, specifications, safety recalls, theft, junk and salvage records, title brands and sales history. It shows what the format can hold; another car may have far fewer records.

Understand the trial before paying

The trial costs $1 for three days and allows up to five reports a day. If you do not cancel in your account within those three days, it renews as an unlimited plan at $99.99 a month plus tax. The terms say cancellation works only from the account, not by email or phone, and cap the unlimited plan at 20 reports a day. Check the current renewal amount and deadline at checkout.

Compare a package with membership

One report costs $14.99, four cost $29.99 ($7.50 each) and sixteen cost $84.99 ($5.31 each). Package credits do not renew. For a private buyer checking two to four cars, the four-report package beats the trial once you count the risk of a missed cancellation. The unlimited plan only pays off for traders.

Refund rules

VINinspect wants a refund request within 14 days and accepts only an empty report or a double charge as a reason. Inaccurate or incomplete data and a forgotten cancellation do not qualify. Once a subscription has started, the company may keep the cost of one full report, which its policy puts at $49.99, and its terms say subscription fees are not refundable except where the law requires it.

Use US history in the right context

The advertised US title information can help investigate a vehicle before export, while later events in another country require separate evidence. Ask for the export, import and registration documents and compare their dates with the report. Do not let a detailed early history conceal a recent undocumented period.

Evaluate the vehicle after reading the report

Check mileage entries in sequence and investigate any damage or salvage flags before making a commitment. Earlier sales photos can help direct an inspection, but cannot certify repair quality. Verify the vehicle's current condition and identity independently and retain the seller's supporting records with your purchase documentation.

What buyers say about VINinspect

On 8 Nov 2026 VINinspect had 3.9 out of 5 on Trustpilot from 209 reviews: half five-star, a third one-star. Positive reviews mention detailed reports and records that CARFAX did not show. The one-star reviews mostly concern the trial turning into a monthly charge and refunds offered as store credit. One reviewer says the unlimited plan stopped working long before the daily cap in the terms.
