Limitations
- Use a sharp, well-lit, close-up photo. Photos are not stored, so this check is wallet only.
- If no VIN can be read, the wallet charge is restored.
- Compare the result with the VIN on the car before running further checks.
Individual vehicle records, not a comprehensive accident, title or ownership report. Missing records do not prove a clean history.
