October 13, 2006, Newsletter Issue #62: VIN Decoders Omit Certain Car History Details


1

Tip of the Week

Due to confidentiality issues and inept inspection practices, not all VIN decoders will include a car's complete history.



Here is a list of information that is not included on a vehicle history report:



- The previous owner's name(s) - According to the 1994 Drivers Privacy Protection Act, vehicle history reports are prohibited from including such information.



- Lien release information is not generally included in a Vehicle history report.





- Data and information regarding pre-1981 vehicles - Since, the standard of manufacturing cars with VINs was not legalized until 1981, adequate information is not available on models produced before that time.
