“I've been looking for the discount button. (SR20)”

I am happy to find out that the car had a massive € 20.000 repair, but the report was not as I hoped to see after seeing a lot of British reports, no TUV reports at all

“Scam company”

Mirko P.
7/22/24

CarVertical is a scam. Thousands of investors have been left with nothing from the initial investment in their ICO token project. I lost $500. They took the money and are still operating their scam. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER send any funds to this "company". I'm looking for others who want to join an action to report this scam company to the authorities and arrest these scammers from Lithuania.

Their ALL search should be extended at least for all EU countries, currently it is not the case. So the user can not be sure, how accurate is their analyses. Well if the country was registered from the first time in Hungary, and you buy the car there, then it should be a very good accuracy. But if the first registration was not there, then you cna not be sure

This is exactly what I was looking for and needed. Carvertical Vehicle History helped me a lot with knowing the history and mileage of a vehicle I was looking to buy. Provided with a reliable information which was very impressive. This is the best place to turn for those looking for a detailed history of a car they want to buy. Thank you so much!

I liked that it was detailed, but as an innovation, I would like to note that it would be nice to have a downloadable (one-page). Pdf document "certificate" that could be hung in the window of the car so that interested parties can also see that this is a car checked by Carvertical.

Best regards Tibor

Car vertical gives you the insight into a car you are interested in buying so you have the questions ready at the dealership. The information provided told me about a Volvo v40 I was interested in purchasing had a registration error being changed from a private plate to the original one ( car should have been blue instead of Gray and have 20,000 mile more than the car I was purchasing. Avoid stoneacre) if you buy a car that is used this service is a no brainer thank you.

We've planned to buy a mini couper but the car was aged 2006 and the mileage only 65k. Interior looks ok but minor things on exterior. Just pay by Revolut 3addmisions and the lovely Mini Couper was checked. Many thanks carvertical strongerly recommended. Some pictures with the car on carvertical.com were fine if we found them. But, overall it's gorgeous

I was really curious to find out about the car that I wanted to buy.
Checking the car on carvertical was just what I needed. It answered all the questions about the car, confirming what I knew and even giving me more than I'd expected.
I'm truly impressed.

Well, the report worked on my car that I purchased last year. However my car is in Portuguese registration but was imported from France. So it only shows things that happened while registered in France and couldn't for example specify the reason of the damage on a crash warning but could the estimated price of repair of that crash... and the milage only had 2 updates (one at 400km and the other at 60.000km) so not very specific. Everything and the registration in Portugal wasn't available... it definitely needs more support in Portugal. And the price is a bit high when (in my case) doesn't even support Portuguese registration.

Tip for consumers:
A bit expensive and does not work in Portugal

I purchased a Report on a Dodge Charger. The carVerticle Report came back clean so I drove an hour to go and see the car. The owner disclosed the car had been written off 3 years ago and had a Rebuilt Title. So that was a waste of time. I never would have driven to see the car if the report had said it was a Rebuilt Title.

So carVerticle gave me a second report for free. That one came back wrong as well. It showed NO LIENS. The owner again told me there is a lien on the car and it would have to be removed before I bought the car. Again, a false report from car Verticle.

So two reports, both showing NO issues, and both were wrong. Waste of money. Don't trust the report.

Il servizio è indubbiamente buono e qualificato ma è troppo costoso. Sarebbe preferibile avere l'opportunità di un abbonamento annuale.

Nearly as good as the industry go-to HPI report. Would be nice to see an average price across car buying comparison sites and a price history for the car, but it doesn't take away from what is an excellent reporting site. It even found out my old Yaris was a cat S, unfortunately after I took ownership of the vehicle, but CarVertical would've saved me had I known about them.

Using CarVertical was one of the best decisions I could have made! I was hesitant, as I was a beginner when it comes to cars, but CarVertical truly helped me through the process! Their customer service was phenomenal and got me exactly the type of car I needed.

If you are going to buy a used car then carvertical.com will be a good option to check all the information about the car you will going to buy. You just have to use VIN checker on carvertical.com and then they will provide you information such as odometer readings, mileage, insurance records and also the photos of that car too. They have tie ups with the leading car manufacturers such as BMW, Tesla, Volkswagen. The results i got were amazing it actually helped me a lot in buying a good car. I recommend everyone to try their VIN checker before buying any used car.

Over many years I've used many other car report services, however from now on I will always use car vertical. Based on recommendation by Salvage Rebuilds UK, and Matt Armstrong on YouTube, I decided to give car vertical a try. The report was the most comprehensive I've seen and presented in a very easy format.

Since discovering Car Vertical I no longer use any other history checker as I find Car Vertical the most comprehensive service bar none. I highly recommend Car Vertical to both private buyers and those in the motor trade on a daily basis.

CarVertical is great for checking up on cars you're thinking about buying. It gives you all the history and info you'll need to make a judgement, even if the seller is being dishonest about the car's stats. It's a great way to avoid getting scammed, especially if you're buying a used car.

I got a report, which contains odometer reading only up til 2011.
Also says car has sustained serious damage10-******* eur, but no further details whatsoever.
It's just next to useless and therefore really expensive, low value for money..

As someone who recently explored carVertical.com for vehicle history reports, I have mixed feelings about the service. Firstly, I must commend the website for its user-friendly design. The layout is clean and navigating through the site to find information is quite intuitive.

The organization of car data and information is another strong point of carVertical.com. They present vehicle histories in a well-structured format, making it easy to comprehend the details of a car's past, including previous accidents, ownership, and service history.

However, the service has its shortcomings. A significant issue I encountered was the occasional inaccuracy in technical information. There were instances where the details provided did not fully match up with the actual specs of the car.

Another limitation is the coverage of older cars. It seems that most older vehicles are not included in their database. This gap can be a significant downside for classic car enthusiasts or those interested in older models, who might not find the information they need.

Additionally, carVertical.com appears to not collaborate with local providers and their databases. This lack of integration can lead to gaps in the history reports, especially for cars that have been serviced or registered in specific regions.

In summary, while carVertical.com offers a user-friendly interface and well-organized information, it falls short in terms of the completeness and accuracy of data, especially for older vehicles. It's a decent tool for a quick check, but I would recommend cross-referencing with other sources or local databases.

Found 2 cars with modified mileage :) -one of which had an accident (that I was specified).
I feel it's a good service. I can't say it's cheap, but worth giving just before buying your car.

According to initial summary tonns of data are available regarding the car. What was surprising for me, price offer was without VAT, later on I had to pay more with VAT. I was really interrested in km data history (mileage) of the car, but unfortunately almost nothing was available, just the one when the car was moved to hungary. No regular data neither from german, nor from hungarian era. One reparation was done in the bumper, which was present in the database. Factorial recall event data was not provided. All the other services were fine (not stolen, no taxi,.) For me the hungarian governmet's website could provide more data with photos free of charge.
