LotVerdictLook up a vehicle

Used-vehicle intelligence for buyers in the United States

Before you buy it.
Verdict it.

Decode the VIN, see how it was built, research recalls and known issues, and walk onto the lot with a checklist written for that exact kind of vehicle. Cars, SUVs, pickups — and motorcycles, properly.

Find it on the driver-side door jamb, the dash at the base of the windshield, or the title. No VIN? Enter details manually.

How it works

Three steps. No account required.

  1. 01

    Enter the VIN

    We decode it with NHTSA and detect whether it is a car, SUV, pickup or motorcycle. No VIN? Enter the details manually.

  2. 02

    Review the free preview

    Build specifications, confidence indicators, and a starter inspection checklist tailored to the vehicle type — motorcycles get their own.

  3. 03

    Get the premium report

    Safety recall campaigns, owner-reported complaint patterns and a full inspection checklist as a PDF, with the source and confidence stated on every section.

Motorcycles, first-class

Not a car with two wheels.

Touring, cruiser, sport, adventure, dual-sport and standard bikes each get their own logic: final drive (chain, belt or shaft), tire age, fork seals, brakes and ABS, electrical and tuning modifications, and motorcycle-specific recall research.

Look up a motorcycle
Final drive
Chain, belt or shaft identified where documented; inspection items change accordingly.
Tires
DOT date-code guidance — rubber ages out before it wears out.
Suspension
Fork seals, stanchion pitting and shock weeping on the checklist.
Modifications
Exhaust, tuning and electrical add-ons flagged as things to ask about.

What we will never do

Trustworthy beats sensational.

Specifications are decoded from the VIN structure using NHTSA vPIC. They describe how the vehicle was built, not its current condition, mileage, title status or history.

  • Fabricate accident, title, salvage or ownership history
  • Invent a valuation when licensed market data is missing
  • Call an inspection item a defect without evidence
  • Present an estimate or inference as verified fact
