DealScanFree VIN check — no signup
Look up any VIN: specs, recalls, safety ratings, and MPG
Paste the 17-character VIN from a listing, a door jamb, or a windshield. We decode it against official government data — no email, no credit card, no report paywall.
Factory specs
Engine, transmission, drivetrain, body style, horsepower, and where the car was built — straight from the NHTSA vPIC database.
Open recalls
Every NHTSA safety recall filed for the model year — ask the seller for proof each one was fixed before you buy.
Safety & MPG
NHTSA crash-test star ratings and EPA city/highway fuel economy, so you know what the car costs to live with.
Where the data comes from: vehicle specs are decoded by the NHTSA vPIC service, recalls and crash-test ratings come from NHTSA safety databases, and fuel economy comes from the EPA (fueleconomy.gov). A VIN lookup shows what the car is — it is not a title or accident history report. For ownership history pair it with a history report, and for the actual deal, paste the listing into the DealScan analyzer for a free deal score.
