CarCheck NGCheck a VIN
Built for the Nigerian used-car market

Trust the records,
not the seller.

17 characters, on the dashboard at the base of the windscreen, the driver’s door frame, or the vehicle papers. Checking the VIN is free — you only pay for the history.

Want to see one first? Read a full sample report

Most used cars here are US imports, and the history that matters stays behind in America — the accident, the salvage title, the rolled-back odometer. We pull those records, add the Nigerian customs, registration and police checks a foreign report cannot give you, and hand you one answer.

We check what the seller won’t mention

Six checks against the VIN. Three of them do not exist in any foreign report, at any price.

Accident & damage

What was hit, how hard, and whether the damage was structural — with the repair cost where the record has it.

Salvage & branded titles

Whether an insurer wrote this car off. Salvage, flood, junk and rebuilt brands, with the state and date.

Odometer trail

Every recorded reading on one chart. We flag it when the mileage goes backwards — the classic import fraud.

Import duty & customsNigeria only

Whether duty was actually paid. A car with unpaid duty can be seized, and no foreign report will tell you.

Registration & plateNigeria only

Whether the registration is current, which state it sits in, and when it expires.

Stolen-vehicle checksNigeria only

US theft records and the Nigerian police stolen-vehicle register, both checked against the VIN.

How it works

1

Type the VIN

We decode it against the manufacturer database and show you the car, free. Confirm it matches what is in front of you.

2

Pay in naira

Card, bank transfer or USSD. No foreign card, no dollar checkout, no subscription.

3

Read the report

Findings ranked by how much they should affect your decision, with a PDF you can send to your mechanic.

Where the data comes from

We do not create vehicle history data. We license it, reconcile the sources against each other, and tell you when they disagree.

NHTSA vPIC

US government VIN decoder — factory specification only, no history.

US title history — NMVTIS

The United States National Motor Vehicle Title Information System: title brands, salvage and total-loss records, reported accidents and odometer readings filed by state authorities, insurers and salvage yards.

Nigerian records — VREG / FRSC / NPF

Local records: Nigeria Customs import-duty status via the National Vehicle Registry, FRSC registration validity, and the Nigeria Police stolen-vehicle register.

When sources disagree, you see the disagreement

Two databases will happily report different mileage, or a different model year, for the same VIN. We show the most authoritative answer and keep the other one visible — because a conflict on make, model or year can mean a cloned or re-stamped VIN, and that is worth knowing.

Questions

Where does the data come from?

We do not create vehicle history data — we license it and compile it. US accident, salvage and title records come from feeds backed by NMVTIS, the American national title system. Nigerian customs, registration and police records come through local verification partners. Every report lists exactly which source answered and which did not.

What if the car is not a US import?

Then no US title history exists for it, and the report says so plainly instead of pretending otherwise. You still get the Nigerian records — customs, registration, and the stolen-vehicle check.

Why is this cheaper than a foreign report?

Because we buy the underlying data at wholesale and sell it in naira. A foreign checker prices in dollars, so by the time your bank applies its FX spread you are paying several times what the data actually costs.

Does a clean report mean the car is fine?

No, and we will never claim that. Records only exist where somebody filed them — a car can be rebuilt in a back street with no paperwork at all. A report catches what is on record. It is evidence, not a guarantee, and it does not replace putting the car on a lift.
