Car Brief compiles comprehensive vehicle history data from over 900 trusted global sources. We gather verified information from government records, insurance databases, law enforcement agencies, and automotive industry partners — all combined into a single, easy-to-read report.

We don’t create or alter data, every detail in your report comes directly from official and verified databases. Simply enter your vehicle’s VIN, and within moments, Car Brief scans international data networks to uncover the full history of that vehicle.

A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character code assigned by the manufacturer to every vehicle — including cars, motorcycles, trucks, and other motor vehicles.
You can find your VIN on the V5C logbook, vehicle registration documents, or stamped on various parts of the car, such as the dashboard, engine bay, or driver-side door frame.
This code serves as your vehicle’s digital fingerprint — allowing Car Brief to trace its history across multiple countries and data systems.

When you order with Car Brief, we prepare a full vehicle history report and deliver it straight to your email. The delivery time depends on the package you choose, so you’ll know exactly when to expect it.

Each report contains a detailed overview of the vehicle’s background, compiled from over 900 reliable data partners, including:

• National and international vehicle registries

• Insurance and finance databases

• Police and theft records

• Service and maintenance logs

• Accident and damage reports

• Mileage verification and MOT results

Every vehicle is different, so the available sections may vary depending on the information found for that specific VIN. You can also preview a sample report to see exactly what kind of insights Car Brief provides.

Unlike many vehicle history providers, Car Brief delivers global coverage in one unified report. There’s no need to purchase separate reports for different countries — our system searches worldwide databases and compiles everything into one transparent document.

Our commitment to accuracy, speed, and transparency ensures that you get reliable data you can trust — wherever the vehicle comes from.

Our vehicle history reports are sourced from trusted sources such as insurance companies, law enforcement agencies, and government databases. We regularly update our data to ensure the information provided is current. While we strive for accuracy, we recommend that you consider these reports as one component of a comprehensive vehicle evaluation process.
