How Reliable Is FAXVIN? Can You Trust A FAXVIN Report?

Short answer: Yes. For over 15 years, FAXVIN has provided accurate, easy-to-read vehicle history reports that include NMVTIS-sourced title data via Approved NMVTIS Data Providers, plus additional records from trusted commercial sources. Our goal is simple: help you avoid bad buys and negotiate with confidence.

Why Buyers and Dealers Trust FAXVIN

  • NMVTIS title intelligence. Title brands (e.g., Salvage/Junk), total-loss indicators, and latest title-based odometer readings where available.
  • Multi-source coverage beyond titles. Reported accidents & damage, service & inspection events, prior use (rental, fleet, taxi), theft checks, lien status, and open safety recalls.
  • Transparent timestamps & attributions. We show update timing and source labels where provided, so you know what we found and when it was recorded.
  • CarRank 0–100 at a glance. Our summary metric compresses multiple risk signals – title brands, accident severity, odometer consistency, usage type, recalls, data completeness, and peer benchmarking – into one number for quick comparisons.

What FAXVIN Reports Include

Your FAXVIN report is designed to be comprehensive and scannable:

  • Title history & brands (incl. total loss, salvage/junk), latest title odometer reading;
  • Accident & damage records (where reported);
  • Odometer history & consistency checks;
  • Ownership indicators (e.g., count of prior owners) & usage type (rental/fleet/taxi, where available);
  • Theft records & lien status (where available);
  • Service & inspection entries, registration activity;
  • Open safety recalls;
  • CarRank summary with key flags and notes.

Accuracy: What We Do – and What No One Can Promise

All vehicle history services depend on the data reported to them. That means two realities can be true at once:

  1. Reports are highly useful. They reveal title problems, prior damage, mileage issues, and more – things you might otherwise miss.
  2. No service has every event in real time. Not all shops, fleets, or insurers report to every network, and some data arrives with delays. That’s why we also urge a pre-purchase inspection and a careful test drive as a best practice.

How FAXVIN Minimizes Blind Spots

  • Multiple pipelines. We combine NMVTIS-sourced title data with additional commercial feeds to widen coverage.
  • Freshness indicators. We display source timestamps where available, so you can judge recency.
  • CarRank prioritization. If the score or any red-flag sections suggest risk, you’ll know where to dig deeper during inspection and negotiation.

Get the Most from Your FAXVIN Report

  • Read the Title & Odometer sections first. Title brands, total-loss markers, and mileage jumps are high-impact.
  • Use CarRank to compare shortlists quickly, then open detailed sections on any vehicle with a lower score or flagged events.
  • Confirm safety with a pre-purchase inspection and a thorough test drive; no database replaces a lift and a mechanic’s eyes.

Bottom Line

FAXVIN pairs NMVTIS-sourced title data with additional records and a clear, timestamped presentation, then adds CarRank to focus your attention where risk is highest. Used correctly – together with an independent inspection – FAXVIN helps you buy smarter and negotiate with confidence.
