What is a Colombia VIN Check?
A VIN check uses the car's VIN code to reveal the car's detailed specifications and history. The VIN, usually 17 digits, is like the car's ID and tells you about its history and key details like the year, make, model, trim, transmission, engine, features, and more.
A car history check helps reveal hidden records the seller might not want to disclose, like multiple previous owners, title brands, accidents, flood damage, lien records, and more. We also offer a classic VIN decoder to help decode classic car VIN numbers ranging from 5-14 digits.

Benefits of a Colombia VIN Check
You should take enough time to run a VIN check when buying a used car – as it is prone to harbour serious hidden issues. Here are some benefits of running a VIN check:
Avoid Hidden Accident Damage
A Colombia VIN check can tell you if the car has been in any accidents. Some cars may look fine on the outside but have serious damage inside that's hard to see. Accident repairs done poorly can lead to safety issues and high repair costs later. Checking the accident records helps avoid cars that might not be worth the price.
Identify Salvage Titles
If a car has a salvage title, it means the insurance company once declared it a total loss, usually because of major damage. These cars can be unsafe to drive and harder to sell or insure. Even if they've been repaired, they may still have hidden issues. Knowing the title status helps you avoid future trouble and loss of value.
Confirm the Car Isn't Stolen
A VIN check shows if the car was ever reported stolen in Colombia or the U.S. If you unknowingly buy a stolen car, the police can take it away, and you won't get your money back. It also brings legal risks that can affect you even if you didn't commit any crime. This check protects both your wallet and your peace of mind.
Verify Actual Odometer
Odometer rollback is when someone changes the mileage to make the car look newer. An odometer or mileage check shows past mileage records to help you spot this fraud. If the numbers don't match, the car might have been driven much more than the seller says. This helps you avoid paying too much for a car that's more worn out than it looks.
Check for Flood Damage
A car that was in a flood can have hidden engine or electrical problems, even if it looks clean. Water damage may not show up right away but can cause serious trouble later. This is common in cars from hurricane-affected areas. A flood vehicle check helps you stay away from flooded cars that may break down or be unsafe to drive.
Verify Outstanding Liens
A lien means someone still owes money on the car, like a bank or loan company. If you buy a car with a lien, the lender might have a legal right to take it back. You could lose the car and the money you paid for it. A Colombia VIN check helps make sure the car is fully paid off and legally safe to buy.

The website was easy to use and provided the information I required. The window sticker option is a nice feature as it provides clear details on the original vehicle’s components. Customer service online chat was excellent. Initial difficulties logging in, however, it was corrected quickly.
