A vehicle history report is one of the most valuable tools when shopping for a used car, but knowing how to interpret it matters just as much as having one.
Start with the title section — look for any brands like "salvage," "flood," or "lemon," which can significantly affect a vehicle's safety and resale value. Next, review the accident history section, paying attention to the severity of any reported incidents, not just the number of them.
Odometer readings should show a consistent increase over time; any rollback or inconsistency is a red flag worth investigating further. Service records, when available, can also confirm regular maintenance was performed on schedule.
