What is a VIN and why do I need a VIN Decode? A vehicle’s VIN is a unique 17-character identifier that is only ever associated with that vehicle. Each vehicle’s accident, service, and recall history is tied to it’s VIN. A VIN decode helps you verify that the vehicle you are looking at is what you were expecting. This helps ensure that the history of the VIN in a vehicle history report matches the vehicle you are researching. A VIN decode can also potentially identify risks like vehicle fraud or VIN cloning (e.g. the VIN says it’s a truck but you are looking at an SUV)
