A buyer’s toolkit, not a paywall
VIN decoding
Manufacturer, model year, trim, engine, drivetrain and assembly plant — every field the VIN encodes, laid out plainly.
Recall history
Every open and past safety recall matched to the vehicle, with the defect, the risk, and the manufacturer’s remedy.
Safety ratings
Crash-test and rollover ratings so you know how the model held up before you take it for a test drive.
Odometer sense-check
Ontario-specific guidance on spotting rolled-back kilometres and reading a UVIP’s registration history.
The Ontario checks a decoder can’t do
A raw VIN decode is the same everywhere. Buying used in Ontario isn’t. We fold in the provincial layer — the UVIP, the Safety Standards Certificate, PPSA liens, HST on private sales — so the report reflects the actual paperwork you’ll deal with at ServiceOntario.
- UVIP explainer. What the Used Vehicle Information Package does and doesn't cover.
- Safety Standards. When a certificate is required and what a pass really means.
- Liens & HST. Check for a registered lien and estimate tax on a private sale.
“A UVIP tells you the province’s registration record. It doesn’t tell you the car was recalled twice for a fuel leak. Both matter.”
Why we pair Ontario paperwork with federal safety data on every report.
