The only CarVertical Review you need to read.

The company CarVertical came on the market in summer 2018. The goal of this company is to provide services for people in an area of vehicle history verification using the VIN code by which each vehicle must be marked.

Thanks to the cooperation with BMW, the company CarVertical was practically the first, who started with realtime vehicle information collecting. Another advantage is the use of the technology BlockChain, which ensures, that the vehicle data has not been manipulated with.

Detailed Overview of Our Checked VIN and Vehicle History

After opening the vehicle history report, we get to the intro-page, where we can see basic
information
about the vehicle and a quick summary of the entire vehicle history report,
so-called „Your car in a nutshell “. Here comes the first „fright “, as we hear
the news that
the mileage of this vehicle may be tampered.

The vehicle history report also showed the information, that there are also records about vehicle damage which we already knew about.

Although CarVertical is based on BlockChain technology, we are finding out the
information, that our overview about the tested VIN was saved to the
BlockChain, so it can no longer be manipulated with.

Let’s take a look at the details about our vehicle checked VIN & vehicle history.

 

1.  Spotted Activity

After the brief summary we are getting to the section „spotted activity “, on
the timeline we learn, when was the vehicle first registered, when was the MOT (the event of technical inspection) or emission control performed and visible are also the dates, when
was a change of the owner and damage to the car.

There is a total of 8 records about our vehicle and we confirm that they are TRUE and that the events match the reality. Further in this section, an inspection was made to see if the vehicle is not a subject of any lease, debt collection process or has not been used as a TAXI and much more – see picture below.

None of the information has been confirmed for our vehicle.

2. Stolen Vehicle Check

up
took place in several databases, the stolen vehicles again with negative
results
. The verification of the VIN code took place in a total of 13
databases of stolen vehicles
around the world.

  • Lithuania
  • Netherlands
  • Romania
  • Canada
  • Hungary
  • Slovakia
  • Finland
  • Italy
  • United States of America

3. PROBLEM DETECTED! Odometer rollback?!

In this section we are returning to the problem with mileage which was
mentioned at the beginning. When we were buying the vehicle, nothing was
mentioned and according to VIN inspection at the company CEBIA, no such
information has been confirmed in their certificate.

In our purchased CarVertical vehicle history report we are finding a graph, which shows the
process of mileage on our vehicle and we are amazed to find that someone/something
has probably manipulated with the vehicle’s odometer.

We were really surprised by this information. Especially for the data 2014-06, when the data on the tachometer showed 161,539 km and 9 months later the condition was 12,653 km smaller. As well as data from 2016-10, where the condition of the odometer is 1 km. In this case, it is a possible mistake, as the next value in the time 2017-05 is 185,648 km, which would correspond to reality.
 
We will therefore try to verify this information on the website kontrolatachometru.cz, which is operated by the Ministry of Transport of the Czech Republic.
So we enter our VIN code on the website and check it. The result is as follows.

At the moment, we find out that CarVertical probably has another database in which it found data on the condition of the odometer with values 161,539 km and 148,886 km.

So the questions are:

  • Can the official website for checking the mileage from the Ministry of Transport really be trusted?
  • How is it possible that a private company (CarVertical) has more data in a database about a specific VIN code than a state administration?
  • Why didn’t CEBIA even discover this fact?
However, the note in the overview also mentions that the accuracy and completeness of mileage data cannot be 100% guaranteed.
 

We are now really surprised by the result of the CarVertical Vin Check, and it is really WORTH OF MONEY!

 

4. Section Maintenance

A very nicely designed timeline that displays information about vehicle maintenance and recommendations on what maintenance to perform or check on the vehicle in the coming period and whether they have been performed in the past.

5. Vehicle damage report
