AutoCheck Report

AutoCheck Report is created based on the business rules of AUTODNA Sp. z o. o. AutoCheck receives information from thousands of reliable sources including the American and Canadian Departments of Transportation (for the NMVTIS system), Insurers, Police Departments, Fire Services, ASCs, car bidding services and the like.

Title of the vehicle informs the potential buyer if the car had any non-removable damage which may potentially influence its performance. This is why you should always check if the vehicle has a title.

Titles are officially assigned by the state agencies and they should be visible in the vehicle documentation. Privately owned companies are not allowed to assign car titles.

Titles may differ depending on the state; below you will see a list of the most common ones:

- recovered

- written-off

- salvaged

- lemon (to be bought back by the manufacturer)

- flooded

- reconstructed

Different states use different methodologies when assigning a title.

The same titles may have different meanings in different states.

The car has been recovered and renewed using new or second-hand parts. In this case the owner or the reconstructor are obliged by the DMV to declare what repairs or modifications have been performed. It is illegal not to do so. Vehicles with this title also have to undergo safety inspection before they are deemed roadworthy.

A salvaged vehicle is a vehicle which has been very seriously damaged, or even damaged to the extent which makes it impossible to repair. In such cases, the insurer declares a “total loss”. The insurer is obliged to apply for a Certificate of Salvage. If the owner keeps the vehicle, it is their duty to apply for the certificate.
