Why it matters

What the seller won't tell you

A rolled-back odometer, a hidden accident, a stolen or written-off car: these problems aren't visible to the eye. A history report surfaces them before you sign.

  • 1 in 3 used vehicles hides a defect a report surfaces
  • Data cross-checked across 25+ countries
  • One report in under a minute, instead of an afternoon of digging

Shipped integrations

Running in production today

How engineering teams at dealers, platforms and fleets build on the VIN Doc API.

"We connected our listing service to the API and shipped in an afternoon. Every vehicle posted now gets an automatic history check, and the response drops straight into our system with no glue code. No more manual pulling, no manual review."

Nikolas Brandt

Staff Engineer, Carvolt Marketplace

"We re-check 40,000 fleet VINs every night in a single bulk run. Results land on our webhook, we update our database, and that's it. The response format is stable and versioned, so in eighteen months nothing has ever broken our processing without us seeing it coming."

Amara Okafor

VP Engineering, Fleetline

"The sandbox returns realistic sample data, so we built our whole appraisal integration against test VINs before touching a production key. Responses are fast, retries stay safe even when the network hiccups, and uptime has held without a hitch."

Tobias Lindqvist

Tech Lead, Nordwheels Group
