Car Brief compiles comprehensive vehicle history data from over 900 trusted global sources. We gather verified information from government records, insurance databases, law enforcement agencies, and automotive industry partners — all combined into a single, easy-to-read report.
We don't create or alter data — every detail in your report comes directly from official and verified databases. Simply enter your vehicle's VIN, and within moments, Car Brief scans international data networks to uncover the full history of that vehicle.
A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character code assigned by the manufacturer to every vehicle — including cars, motorcycles, trucks, and other motor vehicles.
You can find your VIN on the V5C logbook, vehicle registration documents, or stamped on various parts of the car, such as the dashboard, engine bay, or driver-side door frame. This code serves as your vehicle's digital fingerprint — allowing Car Brief to trace its history across multiple countries and data systems.
When you order with Car Brief, we prepare a full vehicle history report and deliver it straight to your email. The delivery time depends on the package you choose, so you'll know exactly when to expect it.
Each report contains a detailed overview of the vehicle's background, compiled from over 900 reliable data partners, including national and international vehicle registries, insurance and finance databases, police and theft records, service and maintenance logs, accident and damage reports, and mileage verification.
Every vehicle is different, so the available sections may vary depending on the information found for that specific VIN. You can also preview a sample report to see exactly what kind of insights Car Brief provides.
