About VIN Check Report, Plate Lookup
VINDecoded checks any car by VIN or license plate, and with a Bluetooth OBD2 adapter it reads the engine too. Decode a VIN at no cost, then see what matters before you buy: open recalls, market value, listing history, accident and title checks, the window sticker and the check engine light. Own a car? Keep it in your garage with its maintenance, recalls, value and engine checks. Run a lot? Track inventory with your team.
BUYING A USED CAR
• VIN check and VIN decoder for any 17-character VIN: year, make, model, trim, engine, transmission and equipment.
• Scan a VIN barcode, or snap a photo of the VIN plate, door sticker or windshield.
• License plate lookup: find a car's VIN from its plate and state. Vehicle data only, never owner details.
• Accident and title checks: reported accidents and damage, title brands, salvage, flood and lemon records, odometer problems and previous owners, where records exist.
• Listing history: past asking prices, price cuts and relists, with days on market.
• Market value, trade-in value and what a dealer pays versus asks.
• Open recalls, safety ratings, complaints and service bulletins.
• Rebuild the original window sticker from the factory build, with options, packages and MSRP.
• Ask AI anything about the exact car you're looking at.
• Compare cars side by side, with notes, tags and inspection checklists.
OBD2 SCANNER: CHECK THE ENGINE
Plug a Bluetooth LE OBD2 adapter into the port under the dashboard. Reading the car is free; the adapter is sold separately. On iPhone, Wi-Fi and classic Bluetooth adapters can't connect. Most gas and hybrid cars and light trucks from 1996 on have the port; electric cars report less.
• Check engine light and trouble codes in plain English, with how urgent each one is and the usual fixes.
• Before you buy: see if the codes were cleared recently, if the VIN the engine computer reports matches the listing, and if the mileage fits the car's listing history.
• Emissions test readiness, and battery and charging voltage.
• Add a car by reading its VIN from the car.
• An Engine light for every car in your garage, with each check saved.
OWN A CAR
• A garage for every car you own: open recalls, specs and value in one place.
• Maintenance tracker and service log with what's due next.
• Fuel log with MPG and cost per mile. Snap the pump or receipt to add a fill-up.
DEALERS AND PROS
• Fast VIN scanning for auctions, trade-ins and the lot.
• Inventory with stages, costs and asking prices, and a shared team workspace.
CREDITS
Decoding a VIN is free. Credits unlock deeper data such as market value, accident checks and window stickers. Data availability varies by vehicle and source.
OPTIONAL MEMBERSHIPS
Owner includes 50 personal research credits each month. Shopper includes 100 personal research credits each month. Dealer includes 1,000 credits each month in a separate shared business wallet. Choose the Personal or Business wallet before using credits. Monthly and annual billing options are av

Review momentum
50/100
faster than 50% of Auto and vehicles apps
Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
About VIN Check Report, Plate Lookup
VINDecoded checks any car by VIN or license plate, and with a Bluetooth OBD2 adapter it reads the engine too. Decode a VIN at no cost, then see what matters before you buy: open recalls, market value, listing history, accident and title checks, the window sticker and the check engine light. Own a car? Keep it in your garage with its maintenance, recalls, value and engine checks. Run a lot? Appraise faster and track inventory with your team.
BUYING A USED CAR
• VIN check and VIN decoder: year, make, model, trim, engine, transmission and factory equipment for any 17-character VIN.
• VIN scanner: scan the barcode, or snap a photo of the VIN plate, door sticker or windshield.
• License plate lookup: enter or snap a plate and pick the state to find the car's VIN. Vehicle data only, never owner details.
• Accident and title checks: reported accidents and damage, title brands, salvage, flood and lemon records, odometer problems and previous owners, where records exist.
• Listing history: past asking prices, price cuts and relists, with days on market.
• Car value: market value, trade-in value and what a dealer pays versus asks, so you know if the price is fair.
• Open recalls, safety ratings, complaints and service bulletins from NHTSA.
• Window sticker by VIN: rebuild the original window sticker from the factory build, with options, packages and MSRP.
• Engine scan on the test drive, with questions for the seller.
• Ask AI anything about the exact car you're looking at, from what to check on a test drive to what the asking price says.
• Compare cars side by side, and keep notes, tags and inspection checklists with photos for every car you look at.
• Vehicle history report options when you want the complete record.
Check before you buy from a private seller, a dealer lot, an online marketplace or an auction. The VIN tells you what the listing doesn't.
OBD2 SCANNER: CHECK THE ENGINE
Plug a Bluetooth OBD2 adapter into the port under the dashboard. Reading the car is free; the adapter is sold separately. It works with ELM327 Bluetooth adapters. Most gas and hybrid cars and light trucks from 1996 on have the port. Electric cars report less, and Wi-Fi adapters aren't supported.
• Check engine light and trouble codes: stored, pending and permanent codes in plain English, how urgent each one is and the usual fixes.
• Before you buy: see if the codes were cleared recently, if the VIN the engine computer reports matches the listing, and if the mileage fits the car's listing history.
• Emissions test readiness, battery and charging voltage, and the emissions warranty.
• Add a car by reading its VIN from the car.
• An Engine light for every car in your garage, with each check saved.
• Not sure which adapter to buy? The app shows ones that fit your car.
OWN A CAR
• A garage for every vehicle you own, with open recalls, specs, value and engine checks in one place.
• Maintenance tracker and service log: oil changes, tire rotations and what's due next for your mil
