What Is a CARFAX History Report?

A CARFAX History Report gives you all the details that you could possibly need about a model, as it dives into the service records, title concerns, open recalls, and more. While it gives you a basic idea of what the model offers, it also tells you about everything it's been through.

The Vehicle Overview: This is where you’ll start when you look at your CARFAX History Report. This section is going to list basic information that might come in handy, like the trim level, the powertrain, and even the VIN. You’ll also be able to see the mileage, which can be important for a used vehicle. There’s also a section detailing how many owners the vehicle has had in the past, and whether or not it was used for commercial purposes.

Interesting Information Included In a CARFAX Report

Your CARFAX Vehicle History Report doesn’t stop with just an overview, as you’ll be able to dive even deeper than that. If you want to see which models come with a complimentary CARFAX report, and you live near Abilene, Sweetwater, or Colorado City, then you can visit us at Stanley Ford Sweetwater.

Ownership History: When you’re looking at a car, it’s sometimes helpful to learn a bit more about the previous owners. You’ll be able to see when they bought the car in the first place and an estimate of how much they drove it per year.
Title History: This is arguably one of the most important sections, as it will show you if the car has been damaged by hail, flooding, or even fire. If you’re worried that the car has been seriously damaged in the past, you’ll find out if that’s the case here.

Finishing Your CARFAX Report

Before you finish your report, you have two last sections that you’ll need to look over.

Additional History: The car may be squeaky clean so far, but this section will give you a little more insight into its history. You’ll be able to see whether the odometer was rolled back, and even if the airbags have been deployed in the past. You’ll want to pay special attention to the Additional History section in particular, as it also tells you if there are any open recalls and if there was ever any structural damage.
Detailed History: Let’s face it, this is a lot of information to process. If you’re having trouble keeping up with what happened, and when it happened, then you might want to head to Detailed History. This will give you a timeline of events so that it’s easier to understand what the car has been through.
